Dr. Mohamed El-Qousi, CEO of the Egyptian Space Agency, said that it is not correct for the Earth to be exposed to darkness for a period of 3 days at the end of next month due to a solar storm, as some have traded, but the fact of the matter is that it is just a solar storm and it will be on December 23 next.
Dr. Al-Qousi added that “it has never happened before that the sun has become darker or subsided and the globe darkened, but it is only a solar storm,” stressing that the solar storm that the planet will be exposed to is the exit of particles from the sun on the earth, such as air storms that carry a huge amount of dust. .
The head of the Egyptian Space Agency revealed that the storm that the Earth is exposed to will be the largest in 161 years, as the Earth was exposed in 1859 to a solar storm, but it did not cause complete darkness of the earth, but some places were dark, as well as the storm of 1984 that the earth was exposed to and darkened some areas.
