What is a real geostorm?

In the film, the “Geostorm”, which shook the planet, was to create a network of satellites thanks to the regulation of the world climate against us, thanks to a light espionage and a malignant attempt to create the above storm.

According to the space weather, there is no such thing as the geostorm mentioned in the film.

Instead, it is likely that the film refers to geomagnetic storms that occur naturally due to changes in the magnetosphere of the earth, which is caused by the energy exchange, which occurs directly on the planet due to sun winds in the area.

In contrast to the evil boys in the film, these winds are associated with coronal mass changes (CMES) that happen during a solar flare.

At that moment, billions of tons of the sunplasm are quickly emitted out of the solid star and – together with a embedded magnetic field – send it directly towards our planet.

As a result, the earth’s magnetosphere experiences an energy change, which can sometimes affect electronics, satellites and radio waves.

Is “Geostorm” a realistic film?

Apart from the fact that geostorms are not real, geometric storms would not influence the global climate as the film. Instead, the Planetary Society’s blog says, in a worse scenario situation, that a geomagnetic storm would most likely beat the power nets of our planet offline and that the world would dive into true darkness for weeks (or even months) before power can be restored.

This was exactly what happened in 1989 when a mighty Solarsturm Quebec left without electricity for nine hours. In 1972 the US military had triggered its own brush with a mighty solar storm, as mines that hovered near Vietnam.

However, the most famous of these storms occurred in 1859 when a storm produced an Aurora Borealis that was so great that it was seen in Colombia.

The Aurora was indeed so bright that the planetary society says that people could even read their newspapers in the middle of the night through light. This storm was called Carrington event and is the most massive geomagnetic storm that beats our planet.

That shouldn’t say that there could not Be a geomagnetic storm that resembles something that you would expect on the screen. It is clear that it is clear Geostorm I did not follow science with her action and made a real geostorm pretty impossible.
