Earth's population can not fully breathe sigh of relief after the storm the sun on March 8. According to aerospace experts, there are five or six major hurricanes is more to come in the next 18 months.

As reported by the Telegraph, space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock assess incidents of this nature in the sun emits large amounts of material. "Five or six large and several small ones," said Aderin-Pocock. But, he added, lick these solar storms does not always lead to the Earth.

This warning is itself emerging from the solar storm that occurred last Thursday. Researchers speculated that there will be power outages, disruption of GPS, and a great disturbance in the airline industry as a burst of particles from the Sun to the Earth with a speed of 4 million miles per hour.

So far, the storm the sun does not give meaning to the technological problems on Earth, let alone threaten human existence. "So far there are no reports of damage. However, this storm is just the beginning," said Aderin-Pocock.

Although the storm the sun which was not too far-reaching impact, he warned there may be a bigger storm later in the day. When emitting charged particles, the sun also creates a magnetic field. And this storm could move in any direction. If directly toward Earth, people can see the Northern Lights or aurora.

Satellite to be one of the most vulnerable devices affected by this solar storm. "The peak of this storm late 2013. We will pass through a severe space weather ahead but after that it will subside."

Meanwhile, researchers from Imperial College London space, Jonathan Eastwood, explaining the current Earth's magnetic field is trying to deflect the sun on the surrounding material. And, researchers in Britain and around the world is watching whether the magnetic field can survive.

Craig Underwood from the University of Surrey rate is indeed the greatest storm in recent years but not the worst. He also insisted this be a warning of natural events in humans. "How did our modern life is very dependent on space technology and the national power grid." (Google translate)
