The sky is falling!
Seriously, though, I am not knowledgeable enough about these CMEs and how they compare to the past ones. Are there any good historical analyses?
- SkyPuncher 2y agoMy understanding is bigger than normal, but a lot smaller than storms that have caused grid issues.
- gashad 2y agoNot saying anything about the current storm, but a storm as strong as the Carrington Event[1] would make modern day life on Earth pretty unpleasant. Some of the potential impacts are documented in Severe Space Weather Events: Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event [2] https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/12507/severe-space-weather-events-understanding-societal-and-economic-impacts-a https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/12507/severe-space...
