How Do Solar Superstorms Work? | Spark 

Makes you realize how fine a line of existence we humans walk on.

Amazing footage of the sun and flares, its mind-boggling and hypnotic. This man's voice is like warm honey, lulling you into a different time-space. I loved it!

The best narrator! His voice soothes me to sleep.

I never get tired of seeing vids of solar eruptions and flares. Thanks for sharing Spark.

This narrator has that old school voice that is just perfect! Great vid!

I love this narrator's voice. I would enjoy him narrating the contents of a cereal bowl that has letters for sugary food.

This man's voice is such an awesome choice. Love the video!

Dick Rodstein! I could listen to him talk all day/night. Its like my therapy for real... best narration ever!!!

Very impressive CGI! And great narration;) Thanks

wow. looking at this makes you appreciate the beauty of this universe.

Our nature is so beautiful and we should preserve it at any cost

I just love the beauty of space i could sit and watch these documentary for hours.its amazing how everything is affected by the sun sometimes bad but mostly good ✌👍

Thanks a lot.this documentary shows that the sun can give and also take life from us. Such a nice elegant presentation

Better documentary than most on the complexities of solar storms, concentrating on coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Better might've been to create a primer for people to understand when they hear on the news about the oft reported or talked about "solar flare" eruption, as they are different events than CMEs, and the size of one doesn't always correspond with the size of the other. The large CME from the 2012 solar storm, as the documentary somewhat glanced over, occurred during a period of heightened sun activity but wasn't precipitated by a major flare, but rather a strong M-class one on that day (if one at all, this seems somewhat debated). This is an important distinction as the media could misrepresent the power of a solar storm based on its flare class, as M-class flares occur somewhat often but can still precipitate catastrophic CMEs. Likewise, because of several factors, a major X-class flare does not inherently mean a major geomagnetic storm will hit earth. The X-28+ flare from November 4, 2003, for example, bombarded earth with x-rays and fast protons, but because of the storm's location on the western limb of the sun and the slower movement of plasma clouds, the associated CME mostly missed earth.

Ironic how, upon seeing the sheer unpredictable and potentially life-threatening nature of our sun's coronal ejections... our response was to build an absolutely enormous electrical grid that is entirely dependent on that never happening again.

the grace in wich this information is presented IS SOOO SICK AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow finally after watching 100s of the same renamed space docus,I finally found one I have seen amen.

Thanks and respect !

Excellent...outstanding!✌👍

Just look at our Sun. We gotta take better care of our world. It's beautiful

Superb..Really liked the way u presented

I'm a Ph.D. student researching the sun and watching this to charge up my sense of wonder lol. The grind is so grindy.

Wow what a brilliant and quality upload 👌 Thankyou 🤘

The narrator was very easy to listen to, smooth and consistent with a excellent script. And the background music was also smooth and consistent. A very very good presentation. I learned a lot. A big thumbs up.,.,.,.,.

Visuals are great, and so is the narrator. Is it an Orson Welles' sampling? The soundscape is just right.

Fantastic Documentary...truly spectacular, what a great production...thank you so much

I am totally impressed! What kind of breataking pictures e.g. motions!

The sun was the first object to be called and or named the alpha and omega the truth and the light THOUSANDS of years before any religious institution existed......I dont worship the sun I just have a great respect for it and an immense appreciation for the LIFE it breathes into our planet.

Awesome ! Amazing concepts ! Mind boggling cosmos !

I am so addicted to this stuff

I really really enjoyed this , thank you

This was very well done

Mind blowing documentary.

Excellent explanations, for thoses looking to understand how the sun works. With Earth's own magnetic fields weakening it's more important now than ever. I'm afraid of what's to come to our way of life when we are stuck by another Carrington because of this. I wish the press would cover it more. Everyone needs this information and should a certain level of preparation. If a CME is powerful enough we could literally lose power for years.

amazing study About spark

What is the music for the Venus part? I really want to find it so I can listen to it just by itself.

Excellent documentary!

Coronal mass ejections are magnetic forces in this situation and they are super charged with electromagnetic waves like that in a generator that is why the electric power is so vulnerable to our system and is soon to cyclical events that can be used to detect before the next phase..

If the Sun is a ball of gas how can it have a core? some days the sun is lighter and in other days its darker how come? And no one knows what the inside of the sun looks like only because it's too hot to get even near... these questions are actually from my granddaughter LOL she's 10 years old I just happy that she's asking questions about science

that short video from Hinode is wicked

great show, is there some way i might get permission to use stills of animations? I operate Michigan Aurora Hunters, and I would love to use both the stils and video in talks that we might do.

As i learned solar cycle depends on 3 planets . Venus and Earth cause they r close and Jupiter that massive . When these 3 planets aligned. They change magnetic surface of Sun.

I always listen to him when I m in bed to fall asleep at the same time also get into the adventures of cosmos..

Well done.

Fantastic doco!

Nice! muy educativo*

Love the channel :)

It always boggles my mind when I feel the sun cooking me on a hot summers day that that thing is 93 million miles away and we receive only about one billionth of its energy output. Nearly everything on earth is powered directly or indirectly by the sun. Geo thermal and nuclear power are the few exceptions. What an awesome fusion reactor it is.

Muy interesante:2-2-2018

Thanks to SPARK and to the Narrator 😇.

Simply The Best ☀️

Infact this narrator's voice is damn very relaxing i hv found my smooth medicament voice to sleep soo soundly at every 9ight without any chemicals capsule sleeping tablets great nor? 👍..🍁

Love thy narrator, great show chaps

Graphics were incredible! But if a 1859 solar storm would hit today, most everybody's lives would be disrupted in some way in our connected digital world.

Beautifull...wonderbaarlijk...

This narrator's voice is also from SpaceRip!

I need to find the music from this show

Best Narrator Ever Heard ! ! !

Most excellent

This Narrator is amazing and I put my old high school teachers’s face into him lol never went to his class but he was across from my class RIP 🪦 died in 2004 unexpectedly.

this is a man that can read his script well

So what do we do about it? You scared the hell out of me and you leave me helpless in the last few years of my life.

Elementary information, necessary though

Good work .

I love the content of this channel and this one particular, but!!! The ads? Come on now, way to many

I'm surprised you got this ootage from the iss, of the norther lights, I downloaded the space station app, I noticed every time it gets near to the aurora they cut the feed, every single time, it's definitly deliberate, I wonder why they don't want us to see what they see

The observable universe is so much more to study than the world of the very near things such as atoms and subatomic particles !

Excellent

man those volcano holes must be piiiiissed

Look up Tamitha Skov. Space weather.

Great

learning by faith

Great to watch fantastic info bloody annoying ads

Satellites and earth-orbiting spacecraft always get the piss knocked out of them bt violent solar storms, and sometimes even ground-based electrical grids

Saludos cordiales desde Santa Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente 💜 okey el video 📹 💯 puntos 👏 👏 👍 👍👍👍👍👀👍

I’m not watching 10 ads for this video !

Yes

Beautiful

I like it about sun & venus

I remember when the sun spot was so big I thought that we were doomed…it grew to a quarter of the size of the sphere at one point.

So the coagulating electro magnetic force Gives the Sun a perfect sphear shape.

One gigantic power station. Impressive

Am watching until the end

the comentator sounds like the evil twin of Patrick Stewart. THe documentary is ovarall pretty good and worth watching. Thx for uploading and have fun!

Amazing that the sun has been exactly the same for billions of years

From my knowledge of solar activity/mechanisms,we are more prone to a carrington event more than ever in recorded history. Observations of the smoothed sunspot numbers are the lowest for a long long time. And these events are more likely to happen on the uptake of sunspots part of the cycle. Time to build Faraday Cages for our electronic equipment! And with a stroke of luck,take out the human monitoring starlink system. Five jee linked. VK X XXX,radio ham.

Love

is that the eye of modor from hobit?

Hi there just to let u know googles put 18ads in this.thanks for the upload

I love.

Big indeed

VERY INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE VIDEO :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

I IOVE THIS SO MUCH

Pretty much rules out any hope of colonizing the sun.

Earth is a beast, please keep us protected.

1-17-2023. We are now in the midst of a sun spot maximum that will be much worse than usual and at the same time, our planets poles are shifting and our magnetosphere is quickly weakening. Yay

Very nice

Muitos anúncios dificultam a compreensão

@5:30 that is literally Skyrim.

How should we get ready for this?
