And if human beings can not be physically affected by such phenomena, because of the impossibility for them to reach the Earth’s atmosphere, solar flares can disrupt communications, however, GPS signals and some systems e. Express adds that it is not unlikely to see magnetic storms occur following this type of solar event.
unprotected space
The consequences of solar flares can also prove troublesome in the same space. The radiation levels are then experienced an almost immediate increase could lead to disabling satellite service and shuttles, in addition to representing a direct threat to the astronauts. Recall that in June, NASA made us discover a solar flare captured this time by Iris Telescope (Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph)
