Techno-disaster alert: Massive sun storm reaches Earth

The strongest sun storm in six years has reached Earth early Thursday, endangering the operations of satellites, power grids and navigation systems.

The storm was unleashed by two massive solar flares earlier this week, rated X, the strongest type on scientists’ scales. The flares hurled a wave of solar plasma and charged particles into space.

As a result of the solar tempest the Northern Lights may be visible at lower latitudes than usual. The beautiful atmospheric phenomenon is caused by the collision of charged particles with our planet’s magnetic field.

However, the consequences of the storm are not limited to spectacular sky shows only. The severe space weather may interfere with satellite communication, affecting phone connections and navigation. 

The cloud of charged particles launched a geomagnetic storm in the Earth's protective magnetic field, which keeps radiation out. Although the storm cannot destroy the field, it can severely shake it, potentially affecting power grids.

As a precaution, power grid operators have been alerted and airlines are rerouting flights away from normal polar routes, said NOAA space weather scientist Joseph Kunches.

He also said that the effects of the storm will last for about 24 hours, ending Friday. 

Since the beginning of this year, Earth has already been battered by a strong solar storm, but scientists say the current tempest is stronger than the one that happened in January.

‘Web users want freedom, not free stuff’ – UK Pirate Party boss

Internet activists do not rally for “free online stuff,” the leader of the UK Pirate Party told RT. Rather, they protest against giving government tools to censor the web and to restrict civic freedoms.

Online users who came to protest against ACTA bill in Europe and SOPA and PIPA legislations in the United States, did not rally for “free online stuff” but were inspired by more selfless goals, leader of the UK Pirate Party Loz Kaye says. 

"It is not about free stuff. It is about free people and free expression – that is what is driving people out onto the street,” he said.

“We are constantly told by governments when it suits them how important the internet is…But suddenly when it comes to home territory they do not seem to like to be challenged,” Kaye added. “What we have always been saying in the Pirate Party: it is not simply that it is about culture on this particular area, it is about ‘what are the tools we are giving to our governments?’ We are giving our governments tools to censor the internet."

Despite lobbyists for entertainers saying that their business is currently in a serious crisis because of the internet property rights violations, it is actually not true, Kaye stressed.

"There is no crisis,” he said. “The truth of the matter is that in the United States, more music was sold than ever before last year. Here in the United Kingdom, box office receipts hit the billion- pound mark for the first time."

Paradoxically, it is the very free and open internet entertainment giants fight against, that has brought them record revenues in recent years, Kaye said. 

"One of the things that is really interesting is that we are seeing how the free web is in fact pushing growth for artists,”he said. “We are seeing that the growth in music sales is being pushed by digital. It is being pushed by the fact that there is a free and open-functioning web.”

Therefore, instead of demanding draconian measures against internet users and service providers, entertainers would be better off getting creative and use revolutionary opportunities the web offers, Kaye believes. 

"One of the real problems for artists is actually trying to respond to the new environment, so something like streaming services, for example," he said. 

The law should also be changed to keep up with the ongoing changes, Kaye added. 

“What we have to realize is that a copyright is a kind of law that is made from entirely different set of circumstances,”he said. “It is really not that controversial to say that it is no longer fit for purpose in the digital age."
