Скачать или смотреть How the 2024 Gannon Solar Superstorm Crushed Earth’s Plasma Shield

Discover how the 2024 solar superstorm “Gannon” squeezed Earth’s protective plasma shield to just one‑fifth of its normal size and what that means for our technology and daily lives.
In this video, we’ll break down:
What a geomagnetic superstorm is and how coronal mass ejections from the Sun slam into Earth’s magnetic field.
How JAXA’s Arase satellite caught the most dramatic collapse of the plasmasphere ever recorded during the May 10, 2024 Gannon storm.
Why the plasmasphere is a crucial “buffer” that helps protect satellites, radio signals, and GPS navigation from high‑energy particles.
How the plasmapause dropped from about 44,000 km to just 9,600 km above Earth in only nine hours—shrinking this shield to about one‑fifth its usual size.
How this extreme event produced rare mid‑latitude auroras over regions like Japan, Mexico, and southern Europe.
The hidden impacts on GPS accuracy, satellite operations, and space‑weather forecasting, including why recovery of the plasmasphere took more than four days.
What a “negative storm” is, how it cut off the supply of fresh charged particles, and why this link to delayed recovery had never been clearly seen before.
Why understanding these storms is vital as solar activity ramps up and we depend more than ever on space‑based infrastructure.
