Solar Storm Causes Neon-Pink Northern Lights To Fill the Sky

In his 10 years helping travelers discover the Northern Lights, guide Markus Varik had never seen anything quite like it. In early November, the sky in Tromsø, Norway, was illuminated with vibrant pink streaks. While Varik had seen pink auroras previously, they'd never been this strong.

"An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analyzing ancient tree-rings found in the French Alps.

The radiocarbon spike was caused by a massive solar storm, the biggest ever identified.

A similar solar storm today would be catastrophic for modern technological society—potentially wiping out telecommunications and satellite systems, causing massive electricity grid blackouts, and costing us billions of pounds.

The academics are warning of the importance of understanding such storms to protect our global communications and energy infrastructure for the future."

Scientists report ‘benchmarks’ for extreme space weather High-energy ‘relativistic’ electrons - so-called “killer” electrons - are a major source of radiation damage to satellites and so understanding their patterns of activity is crucial. Bursts of charged particles and magnetic fields from the Sun can tear open the Earth’s magnetic field, giving rise to geomagnetic storms. During these events the number of killer electrons in the outer radiation belt can increase by orders of magnitude and become a significant space weather hazard. Dr Nigel Meredith of BAS led an international team who analysed 20 years of data from a US GPS satellite to determine the 1 in 10, 1 in 50, and 1 in 100-year event levels. A 1 in 100-year event is an event of a size that will be equalled or exceeded on average once every 100 years. Satellite operators, manufacturers, insurers, and governments need to prepare and mitigate against the risks posed by these electrons. Society is increasingly reliant on satellites for a variety of applications including communication, navigation, Earth observation and defence. As of April 2022, there were 5,465 operational satellites in Earth orbit, and most are exposed to energetic electrons for at least some of their orbit. In 2021, the overall global space economy generated revenues of $386 billion, an increase of four percent compared to the previous year. Dr Nigel Meredith, space weather scientist and lead author of the study says: “The 1 in 100 year event levels reported in this study are important for industry and government. They serve as benchmarks against which to compare other extreme space weather events and to assess the potential impact of an extreme event.” These findings are vitally important to the satellite industry as engineers and operators require realistic estimates of the largest electron fluxes encountered in GPS orbit to prepare for the impacts of these extreme events and to improve the resilience of future satellites. The findings are essential for satellite insurers to help them ensure satellite operators are doing all they can to reduce risk and to evaluate realistic disaster scenarios The difference between the 1 in 10 year and 1 in 100-year event varies depending on the energy of the electrons and the distance from Earth. These differences are largest at the highest energies furthest from the planet, varying between a factor of 3 and 10 for some of the highest electron energies over 35,000 km from the Earth’s surface. Such substantial increases could pose a significant additional risk to satellites operating in this region. Like weather on our planet, space weather can vary greatly over minutes, days, seasons and the 11-year solar cycle. The researchers found that the majority of these killer electron events occurred during the solar cycle’s declining phases — seen twice during the 20-year period they studied — but the largest event was elsewhere, showing that extreme events can happen at any time. Professor Richard Horne, FRS, from BAS and a co-author on the study, says: "The space sector is part of our Critical National Infrastructure. This research will help us assess the resilience of satellites to a severe space weather event." Severe space weather was added to the UK National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies in 2011. The impacts of space weather on satellites can range from momentary interruptions of service to total loss of capabilities. In 2003 a major storm caused 47 satellites to experience anomalies, over 10 to be out of action for more than a day and one was a complete loss.

Hole the size of 60 Earths opens on sun

Holy shit this looks horrifying.

Look at the size of this hole!!

SOLAR STORM OR SOLAR MAXIMUM

In 2024, the solar maximum is predicted to arrive earlier and last longer than previously expected, with the peak of activity known as the solar maximum projected to occur between January and October. This revised prediction suggests a stronger and more prolonged period of solar activity in 2024, which could have significant implications for our technological infrastructure and space exploration endeavors.

"The revised forecast now places the peak activity of Solar Cycle 25 known as the 'solar maximum' between January and October 2024," according to a NOAA statement. The potential increase in solar activity and the appearance of a more intense X-class flare in 2024 are reminiscent of the intense solar storms of the past, such as the Carrington Event of 1859. And other more the solar storm of 2024, with its long period of intense solar flares and disruption of communication networks, resembles a thrilling chapter from a science fiction novel, in which humanity must face the challenges posed by of nature's wrath. In my opinion,In my opinion, I think this coming solar storm serves as a reminder of the world to need all of us to be prepared in the face of natural disasters,was the last thing I thought of when the solar storm comes and we lose the internet many people will also lose their jobs because of this our world is moving on the internet.

Geomagnetic storms

In the whole month of September 2023 we had Geomagnetic storm. But what even is that? How it affects our planet?

Geomagnetic or Solar or Magnetic storms are temporary disturbance of Earth's magnetic field. It's caused by explosions on sun's top layer. These explosions can reach Earth differently , there are 2 types of reach . First type is CME or Coronal Mass Ejection - it is when a huge cloud of particles reaches the Earth. Usually it takes about 1-5 days for that. Second type is Solar Flare - it is when a burst of energy and X-rays that reaches the Earth in 8 minutes. These types go together causing Magnetic storm.

It reached the Earth then what? It messes with its magnetic field , and it creates lights which are referred as Northern or Southern lights. Particles are interacting with atmospheric gases which create those colorful lights. Those are better seen at the poles with their low temperatures and their cold-created clouds. And also that's why Ozone layers are thinner at the poles , Magnetic Storms produce atmospheric conditions that liberate more chlorine ions. Because of the cold -created clouds , which interact with chlorine ions creating literal acid , hydrochloric acid and chlorine nitrate , they corrode Ozone layer. So there is one problem with Magnetic Storms , our Ozone layer becomes much thinner , but what else is there?

Of course the main problem with Magnetic storms is that those can interfere with satellites , radio communication , GPS systems and can even cause power blackouts , which could last from 16 days to 2 years and will cost the world a lot money. A lot of Solar storms have been recorded in human history , but nothing will compare with 1859 Carrington event with telegraph systems going haywire , causing them to electroshock the operators and even set paper on fire only with a little spark. There is an 11-year cycle for Magnetic storms , so the next one will be happening in 2025 which can cause hazardous damage to us.

Might as well mention how Solar storms affect out health. Numerous studies show that Geomagnetic storms cause lags of autonomic nervous system and heart rate variability. It's not completely understood yet but still we have a lot of studies on that topic.

Geomagnetic or Solar storms are really scary things , but yet so interesting so i hope i got your interest with that! I will be leaving the material i used so you would go and check if all i said was true :D

General info about Geomagnetic storms , How ozon layer is thinner at the poles , 1859 Carrington event , Geomagnetic storms affecting our health , and just cool video i watched , this video too
