[global Network reporter Zhang Xiaoya] the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued the highest-level geomagnetic storm warning on the 10th local time. Elon Musk, CEO of American Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX), wrote on the social media X platform in the early morning of the 11th.CrashderbygameSpaceX's satellite Internet project "StarLink" is under great pressure.CrashderbygameOh, it can hold up for now.
"at present, a major geomagnetic storm is happening, which is the largest in a long time. The Star chain satellite is under a lot of pressure, but it can hold up so far. " Musk posted a number of pictures and texts on the X platform. ↓
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued an extremely strong geomagnetic storm (G5) warning on the 10th that the impact of geomagnetic storms caused by solar coronal mass ejection will last from the 10th to the 12th. This is the first time that the agency has issued a G5 geomagnetic storm warning at the highest level since October 2003.
In the process of coronal mass ejection, a large amount of solar matter will be thrown off the sun's surface at high speed, which is not only the kinetic energy formed by the convergence of huge mass and velocity, but also carries the sun's strong magnetic field energy. Once it hits the earth's magnetic field, it will cause a sharp change in the direction and intensity of the geomagnetic field, that is, geomagnetic storms.
According to the China National Space Weather Monitoring and early warning Center, the National Space Weather Monitoring and early warning Center issued a red alert for geomagnetic storms at 9: 00 on May 11: a geomagnetic storm occurred at 23:00 Beijing time on May 10, 2024, with the maximum level reaching the level of supergeomagnetic storm (Kp=9). It is expected that the process of magnetic storm will continue in the next 24 hours, and geomagnetic storms may still occur later.
