- wallace_f 8y ago> On July 23, 2012 a "Carrington-class" solar superstorm (solar flare, coronal mass ejection, solar EMP) was observed; its trajectory missed Earth in orbit. Information about these observations was first shared publicly by NASA on April 28, 2014 Why would NASA not share this with the public?
- lolc 8y agoOh NASA did share the event at the time: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/fast-cme.html https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/fast-cme.html They just didn't realize the magnitude.
