As per the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a high-speed solar storm that is approaching the Earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour, is going to hit our planet later today and will affect the electricity supply and communication infrastructure around the world. Experts have also said that some places may see blown-out transformers if the current in power lines is high.
According to a report, this storm is a result of solar winds traveling at a speed of a million miles an hour and is expected to hit the Earth Today. Reportedly, there is a hole that opened up in the atmosphere of the Sun creating a stream of charged particles and high-speed solar winds.
The storm is moving towards the direction of the earth and is expected to affect the parts of our planet between July 11-12. This will have a direct impact on GPS navigation, mobile phone signal, and satellite TV. As per experts Power grids can also be hit by solar flares.
🚨BREAKING – Massive solar storm now begins to hit the Earth’s Magnetosphere, people can experience GPS & signal disturbance.

What is a solar flare?
Solar flares are massive explosions on the surface of the sun that release energy, light, and high-speed particles into space. It is caused by tangling or reorganizing of magnetic field lines near sunspots.
