Massive Solar Flare Raises Risk of Satellite and GPS Disruptions

TOKYO, Oct 07 (News On Japan) –
Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has reported the prevalence of a significant photo voltaic flare on October third.

This latest explosion on the floor of the solar is bigger in scale than the flare noticed in May, making it the most important of the yr thus far.

When a big flare happens, there’s a threat of disruptions to synthetic satellites and shortwave communication. It may trigger larger errors in GPS positioning. NICT is urging warning in response to this occasion.

In May, the affect of a photo voltaic flare led to the looks of auroras, usually seen within the Arctic area, being noticed as far south as Hokkaido.
