The Sun is not happy. After the GOP debate, we got one of the biggest storms on record. (No Joke).
The Sun has been very quiet for a few years. Very very quiet. There were a few eruptions in 2005, but nothing compared with 2002. For a while the Sun was silent; Completely silent Not one Sun Spot worth mentioning since Obama was sworn in. That is until this week. Minutes after the Tampa Bay debate all hell broke loose. Our fountain of life fired out was angry. Yep, one the the biggest ever temper/tampa flares ever.
Solar storm forecasts improve as sun’s storm fury increases
...
A huge solar flare erupted Monday, triggering the strongest radiation storm in nearly a decade. A wave of charged particles, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), bombarded Earth Tuesday. The bombardment is over now, but some minor disruptions to spacecraft and power grids were reported.
Scientists' forecast for the arrival of the disruptive wave was off by only 13 minutes, far more accurate than in the past. And with much of the world's networks interconnected and populations increasingly reliant on technology, the ability to predict and track potentially harmful space weather events will become ever more crucial.
