Solar Storms
Jakarta - Scientists estimate there will be storm the sun when solar activity reaches its peak in 2012. However, the public are reminded to not have to feel concerned about the threat of the storm.
"Solar Storm's nothing extreme and nothing to worry about," said Head Utilization Center for Atmospheric and Climate Science, Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) Thomas Djamaludin.
It was announced by him during the discussion with the media in the Office Lapan Bandung, Jl Djundjunan, Bandung, West Java, Thursday (10/12/2009) yesterday.
According to Thomas, the storm the sun is a phenomenon that occurs continuously in the Sun. It's just that, when solar activity was at its peak, the storm may appear several times in one day.
Said to him, the storm the sun which will occur in 2012 are also not necessarily lead to the planet Earth, which is 150 million mm from the Sun because the Sun beputar movement can cause even before the storm veered to the right facing the Earth.
Thomas pointed out, most major mMtahari explosion occurred in 2003 ago. However, events do not cause mass destruction, as depicted by the movie "2012". At that time the impact is most felt in the man-made satellites orbiting above the Earth.
"There are many operational satellites are disrupted. There also have lost contact or not working for some time. Lapan also noted a decrease in the telecommunication in Indonesia. Shortwave radio communication is lost," explained professor at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) is.
In 1989, the storm the sun had burned an electric transformer in Quebec. Some areas in Sweden also briefly litrik not get a supply. In the year 2012, solar storms likely have similar effects, but now with modern technology, humans are able to anticipate.
"Our knowledge about the behavior and activity of the Sun and how its monitoring, the better. So the anticipation of the satellite operator is getting better," said Thomas.
Based on astronomical facts it reveals, Thomas did not believe the storm the sun 2012 will cause the apocalypse as foretold many people. In science, the apocalypse will not happen.
"The issue of 2012, right, originated from the Mayan prophecy, that the chairman himself denied that it was customary interpretation of the end of the Mayan calendar, does not mean an end," he concluded.
