A rare and dramatic 'cannibal' solar storm recently hit Earth, offering a stunning celestial show.
一場罕見且戲劇性的「食人」太陽風暴近期襲擊了地球,帶來了震撼的天文奇觀。
A cannibal solar storm occurs when multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs)—massive clouds of magnetized plasma—are launched from the sun in rapid succession.
當太陽連續快速噴發多次日冕物質拋射(CMEs)—即巨大的磁化電漿雲—時,就會發生食人太陽風暴。
When this massive cloud strikes Earth’s magnetosphere, it triggers geomagnetic storms that interact with our atmosphere to create vibrant auroral displays.
當這團巨大的雲氣撞擊地球磁層時,會引發地磁風暴,並與我們的大氣層交互作用,創造出充滿活力的極光。
Potential impacts include satellite disruptions, interference with GPS and radio communications, and even stress on electrical power grids.
潛在影響包括衛星通訊中斷、干擾全球定位系統(GPS)與無線電通訊,甚至對電力網造成壓力。
Such events are more frequent during the 'solar maximum,' the peak of the sun's 11-year cycle.
此類事件在太陽11年週期巔峰的「太陽極大期」期間更為頻繁。
