Electricity networks in the UK will experience excessive heat, there will be disruptions in air traffic. Meanwhile, work disrupted electronic equipment, navigation equipment, and man-made satellites main stop working - when the Sun reaches its maximum strength in recent years.
NASA scientist believes higher, the Earth will be struck by the magnetic power of the sun in a rocket unknown level after "waking up from its long sleep," the Sun one day in 2013. Thus is revealed in an article in the Daily Telegraph.
In the last warning, NASA said the storm would hit land as superkuat 'Lightning'. The effect could lead to a disaster for world health, emergency services and national security - unless precautions are taken forward.
Scientists believe that solar storms can damage any systems, emergency services, hospital equipment, banking systems and the control of air traffic, until the consumer products like computers and iPods .
Because of the dependence of man on electronic devices, which are sensitive to magnetic energy, solar storms can mean significant losses and potentially a serious problem for the government of a country.
"We know that solar storms will come, but we do not know how bad will happen," said NASA heliophysics Division Director, Dr. Richard Fisher, as pages loaded Telegraph, June 14, 2010.
"It will affect the satellite and communication devices such as car navigation, air travel, banking systems, computers, all electronics. This will pose a big problem for the world. "
Some areas of the Earth will lose power. And to repair existing damage, which only take a minute.
In a climate conference held recently in Washington DC in the presence of NASA scientists, policy makers, researchers and government officials, warning of solar storms notified.
This, says Fisher, it's not just a warning, but warnings of the most comprehensive. The storm, which will cause the sun reaches temperatures of over 10 000 F or 5500 degrees Celsius - something that rarely happens.
Each cycle of 22 years, the Sun reaches its peak magnetic energy, while the number of sunspots (flare) reaches a maximum every 11 years.
Genesis in 2013 menggabungan these two phenomena and generate huge levels of radiation. He said most of the world could face a life without electricity for several months, although he admitted it was not possible.
A more likely alternative is that large areas, particularly in Northern Europe and the United Kingdom which has a fragile power grid will result in a paralysis of energy, living without electricity for several hours or days.
Fisher said, arrangements should be made at the same level as the Hurricanes face - while the government knew disaster was imminent, but did not know how much damage occurs.
"I think the main problem is that modern society now relies heavily on electronics, cell phones and satellites than ever before," he said.
Previously, the National Academy of Sciences, two years ago, warned, power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can be disrupted by solar activity.
The economic damage could be twenty times worse than Hurricane Katrina - which destroyed New Orleans in 2005 and is economically damaging to about U.S. $ 125 billion.
What actions need to be prepared in a country? Said Fisher, a security measure. This includes the manufacture of storage systems energy for hospitals and power plants, the development of satellites safer.
Today, NASA continues to investigate the influence of solar storms on Earth by using dozens of satellites. Telescoped how big the potential threat to Earth.
