美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)下属的空间天气预测中心(SWPC)报告观察到“极端”级别的G5状况，并已向关键基础设施运营者发出警示。

一场剧烈的地磁风暴正席卷地球，预警称电力及通信网络可能出现故障。NOAA的SWPC自2005年以来首次发布G4级别严重的地磁风暴警报，标志着空间天气事件的重大升级。

此次警报源于太阳活动的显著增强，包括近期频繁观测到的太阳黑子群及耀斑爆发。    A latest Fox News poll has painted a depressing picture, with 75% of those questioned believing that the US is going in the wrong direction, expressing dissatisfaction with the state of the economy, domestic and foreign policy, amongst other issues. The dissatisfaction comes from poll participants across the board, but Democrats showed the biggest jump in dissatisfaction, from 67% in May 2022 to the current 75%.,The respondents saw the economy as the country's biggest problem, with most claiming to fail to have seen any improvements from the Biden administration’s actions. Over 40% also took issue with the state of the foreign affairs, energy policy and border security.,Why Does the Government Fail to Address the Issues?,In contrast, the latest index of consumer sentiment published by the Michigan University showed that US citizens’ trust in the country's economy jumped from almost its lowest point of 51.5% in July to 55.1% in August.,With the Michigan Uni index suggests that US citizens see some hope for improvement, political commentator and Newsmax columnist, Michael Shannon, believes that the current administration will not deliver. Biden's team is more interested in pushing their agenda rather than assisting US citizens, he alleged.,"This is the Thelma and Louise administration that is more than ready to drive the country off the cliff if it means advancing their ideological goals," Shannon said.,The political commentator pointed out that even as fuel prices spiked, with other goods reliant on transport also experiencing a subsequent price rise, the Biden administration failed to take action to incentivize more oil and gas drilling in the country, instead continuing to stick to what Shannon described as its "suicide pact” with global warming activists.,Fed’s Bullard Claims It's Hard to Call US Recession When Job Market 'So Strong'3 August, 17:18 GMT,Shannon goes on to point out that current US problems span beyond the economy and include, for instance, its policy in the conflict in Ukraine, which Washington continues to fuel with money and armaments. The Newsmax columnist added that the only groups to profit from the Ukraine funding are donors and defense contractors, who do so at the expense of ordinary US citizens.,Political Elite 'Out of Touch' With the People,The continuing decline in satisfaction with the state of affairs in the country seemingly correlates with increasing concerns of the US citizenship with their president's ability to lead the country.,Not only do Biden's ratings continue to remain as low as 42%, but this week's Issues and Insights poll showed that 59% of respondents have grown concerned with POTUS’ mental health, Shannon pointed out.,"I think that American voters may have finally realized that exchanging a president who sent mean tweets for a candidate that was mentally deficient is a bad trade," he suggested.,However, Shannon continued to claim that the country's problems won't go away if US voters simply vote the Democrats out of Congress and the White House, as Republicans sometimes support the very policies that are hurting ordinary citizens too.,"Mitch McConnell, the curator of the Senate, says the most important issue facing America right now is the Ukraine, which shows how out of touch he is. Taiwan blew up - or no pun intended - because Nancy Pelosi for some reason decided to pay a visit there. I think that took [the] Biden administration by surprise and I don't even think Pelosi thought it would be that big a deal, which shows you what a lightweight she is", he said.,The Biden administration does not listen to US voters, not even the ones that voted for the Democrats – they want them to "sit down and shut up" as they rule the country, the columnist believes.,In his opinion, the only way the situation can change for good, is when the Democrats lose the 2022 midterms and the GOP gets purged of the so-called "unit party Republicans", siding with the Dems. Shannon insists that for a notable change in the state of affairs in the US, a group of "genuine national populist conservatives, who will be placing priority on America first, must come to power.”。

引发此番空间天气事件的源头，是一个编号为NOM区域3664的巨大太阳黑子群，其体积达到地球直径的17倍之巨。这个磁性庞然大物已多次释放高强度太阳耀斑，引起太空气象学家的高度关注。

尽管可能遭遇服务中断，此前所未有的事件也为北美北部居民带来了一线奇观——绚丽的极光有望现身，其壮观景象或从阿拉巴马州延伸至加州北部，直至周末。

据SWPC网站报道，至少五起与上述耀斑相关的地球导向日冕物质抛射(CME)预计将于2024年5月10日中午抵达地球，并持续影响至5月12日。

“极端G5状况于美国东部时间下午5:54抵达地球，”SWPC指出，“地磁风暴可能延续至周末，因其他若干CME仍在穿越地球。”

日冕物质抛射本质上是太阳日冕中的等离子体及磁场爆发，当它们直接冲击地球时，构成严峻挑战。

SWPC进一步警告，预计该区域还将发生更多活跃事件。尽管潜在的干扰，这次独特事件却为北美北部的天空带来了观赏极光的绝佳机会，这一自然奇景预计将跨越广泛地域，从美国南部的阿拉巴马州一直延展至加州北部，直至周日期间。

专家警告，此次地磁风暴的影响范围广泛且深刻。电力系统面临广泛的电压调控难题，可能导致电网中断风险增加；航天器操作亦面临严峻考验，预期会出现表面充电、追踪困难及需紧急调整轨道的问题。

此外，感应电流可能干扰输油管道保护系统，高频无线电通讯可能变得不稳定，卫星导航功能预计将暂时降低，而低频无线电导航服务则可能完全中断数小时。
