Wow! Did We Just Live Through an Actual Carrington Event? Maybe... 

We can call it the Pride event

How come those *_cheap Chinese satellites_* don't fall down from the sky ?

Sure wish the data on our magnetosphere was more transparent. Each release of information is more sporadic and what does become public lately has been released from China and Russia. Both have recently launched satellites in an effort to map and quantify the current field strength for themselves. So many red aurora lately at very low latitude, why?

Solar Flares generally are what cause the CMEs and you can even tell when we have a solar flare happening because the suns rays are extra spicey but you are correct but what we need to be worried about is Miyake

@@verypleasantguy because Starlink is barely earth orbit and relies on the lightness of their satellites and the earths atmosphere not getting thicc like when we have CMEs that create geo storms etc Chynar Spy/Commercial Sats are duel purpose and not shitty by any stardards lol

I knew I forgot to mention something! thank you

Thanks! i didn't know this!

Oh wow......I never knew you could hear them.......

If I understand it correctly, Meteor Showers also make this cracking sound. But so far as I know, there hasn't been a good explanation for where the sound comes from since there is no delay between seeing the light from the meteor and hearing the sound.

YESSSSSS

T.T I needed to hear this. Thank you.

I needed to hear this also

But the telegraph thing was because it happened in 1859, it wouldn't do anything like that nowadays

It would still be a massive EMP though.

I agree, there’s simply not enough empirical data from the Carrington event to say how it compares to the one we just experienced. The instruments simply didn’t exist back then, and we still have lines which I believe are comparable to telegraph lines (old-school telephone lines in rural areas that would have been affected if this storm were as bad. Simply knowing the size of the sunspots isn’t enough, there’s the velocity of the solar wind, amount of material spewed by the CME, whether this was more of a glancing blow and 1885 was a direct hit etc. Not to mention that there is evidence in nature that the Miyaki event was even more powerful than the Carrington event. Don’t get me wrong, it was an impressive event and I’m very glad it wasn’t stronger, or we potentially would not be watching Anton videos right now. It’s also possible that this sunspot group might survive the trip around the sun and return in 2 weeks, let’s wait and see what happens.

the point is that it didn't do that, the cranks and doomsayers were wrong again

The last category will never happen. I'm also fairly sure that quality electrical lines are unlikely to blow

Thank you thankyou for commenting this. This is exactly what I wanted to know

@@lindarocco9974 True, it is weaker, but not drastically. It's strength varies significantly (to the tune of max beeing 300% of min), and it's considered normal, so we may barely notice the difference due to that.

Are there any steps on an individual level we as citizens could do to protect our electronics when we get a G5 warning? I feel like we should be helping, for example by not using as much electricity so there's less load on the electrical lines or something. Also, I've heard of make-shift Faraday cages being used to protect devices placed inside but I have no idea if they work in reality? I am not a formally educated person so perhaps what i am about to say is silly but I'm also concerned about phones that have induction coils for charging potentially getting fried just from the electrical charge in the air from such an event (if that's actually possible and I haven't misunderstood how the tech works) Should we be unplugging what we can of our electrical devices during G5 storms in your opinion?

Plus our geomagnetic field is very weak right now...

Oh sure... just dash my hopes for an extended vacation allowing me to prove how right I've been preparing for catastrophe.

But hysteria is fun man. Heh, thanks for the info, good stuff!

Funny thing about stocking up food, though, is I stocked up a bunch of food, because of the C-One-Niner, but much of that is starting to expire, requiring me to re-stock, but the prices are so GD high, now, I tend to find I only have enough, as many of us do, to basically eat what I buy, along with the old food, where very little is being saved. If this happens tomorrow, I'll have to subsist on tap water and stale rice and various random canned vegetables, until that runs out. So much for my big plans! 🤣🤣🤣

LOL. Better late than ever.

My jaw dropped when I took a long-exposure shot. Never going to forget that

Literally, I was about to set up my astrophotography rig that night in Bellingham but I just decided to enjoy the aurora. Plus the aurora was creating a nasty gradient in all of my images😂

Next day I was ready for a Timelapse and was going to use my iPhone instead of my fancy dslr. iPhones did an amazing job poping up those colors

It looked 'funny' using a FLIR (FLIRONE Pro) camera in Seattle...there was a temperature gradient plain to see, but the aurora themselves didn't look like much. At Zenith the temp read -30C, near the horizon it hovered around -5C Usually don't get meaningful readings (hovers between -40C and error) with a FLIR on a clear night. Sadly, there was too much 'city lights' where I live to see it with my eyes...never occurred to me to take long exposures.

Dear Planetary Spokesperson: We regrettably must ask you to step down from your position. Your preference for the company that you keep is not in our best interest. Thank you.

I was trying to think of a funny name to give this event. Nothing I could think of would be as good as your suggestion.

what the fuck is that pfp

Absolutely bang on. Delta or "Rate of Change" makes a huge difference. When solar flux spikes and pullsback suddenly, depending what range level that flux occurred, can sometimes create large earthquake(s). However, if the earth experiences continual Class X flares, one after another, the energy input to the earth may be elevated, but the delta is not, as it becomes too steady and thus no large earthquake(s). These are my observations.

The universe revolves around magnetics to the point where we barely grasp. They flow through every planet that exists and is why our planet spins. The scale is just mind blowing. Everything we build, even all life, is bombarded by daily by these effects and some materials simply do that better than us water based being. There are also many atoms of energy we dont yet understand. It takes physical mountain size projects to even acknowledge they exist for us to study. For which they pass through all matter like nothing is even there as they travel across the universe. Though not specific to explain your problem as its off the top of my head recalling information. Maybe the picture of grander scale of the universe could help narrow down your anomalies.

@@jryer1 Thanks.

@@geronimo5537 actually because we are made up of atoms we are JUST as much electromagnetic as everything else lol. Science even states “Even when you ‘touch’ something or someone else. You are never actually touching said object. Your molecules could never fully touch another molecule because your molecules have an electro magnetic force field deflecting each other from touching. You’d have to be moving at high speeds and have a high temperature then collide with another molecule to achieve this.” And even that last part would be momentarily in a fraction of a second unless you start getting into nuclear fusion. At least that’s my understanding 🤷‍♂️

For nukes, you must wait.

Is the flickering/twitching not normal?? I'd never seen them before.

Had that here in Montana too, the weird part was it didn't have any colors ,it was grey unless you looked at it through a camera or phone camera and then you could see a little bit of colors. I've seen the northern lights many times and they've always been colorful.

​@@LANCEtheBOILhad grey-ish here in E. TN also.

Comox BC. It was mostly pink which was weird. I’ve seen lots in the NWT that were green. It also looked like it ‘hit’ right above us and its rays were spreading down in a ring, as apposed to the streaking across the sky look you normally see.

@@jbrow397 It was 1:30 am Pacific Coast time, and it looked like it was mostly right above the US Pacific Northwest where I was.

Think about how far technology and infrastructure has evolved since 2003, everything is fairly well insulated, all silicon chips tend to have intense coatings on top of them before they get specialized metal heat dyes covered again by heat sinks, technology is in a much better state than 03

​​​@@OverAndOverAndOverThat's just not true. And regardless, the point I think you are missing, along with Anton, is that a mere x5.8 flare caused record auroras worldwide. By comparison, the last event that caused Aurora as far south as Puerto Rico was an x40. That's a logarithmic scale so we are talking tens of thousands of times stronger. The simple fact of the matter is that our magnetic field got totally rocked by a relatively weak flare - indeed, very likely due to the ongoing geomagnetic excursion. Translation: our magnetic Field is weaker than ever before. This is clear evidence that we are further along into the upcoming magnetic pole shift than anyone had realized. Everyone should really start educating themselves on what's coming and start getting prepared to operate without power if indeed a bigger flare comes our way.

​@@OverAndOverAndOveri believe we had functioning electic cars in the 1920s and carburetors that got you over 100mpg. Its just the technology thats allowed for money purposes. We could actually create and destroy storms with frequency id only argue weve made them.

There was a good video on here about a book on evolution written by an American university professor. His theory is that evolution does not occur on a linear scale over time but is concentrated around pole reversals.

Forgive my ignorance but whats an Annie?

Eid: National Geographic over 10 years ago had an article with graphics asserting that our young sun is heating up. A sun that is heating up might be expected to throw energy around more often.

@@AmericanStuff2024 Yes but very slowly by out standards the heating so small each year it has negligible effect on global warming. So it not that. Now before a Billion years are up this effect will add up and boil the oceans unless man goes out and starts putting up sun reflectors at the L1 point something we could even do now but it be stupid expensive so we not going to do it now.

Man, I'm envious! I was stuck in Mississauga during the whole thing. Didn't have a chance to get out of the city to see anything, and it was way too overcast at the time, even if lights managed to make it all the way here.

​@@TrueNativeScotYou need to get help for yourself

@@TrueNativeScot. It’s Africa. Are you saying that the indigenous majority (80+%) should not be running most of the country? Corruption is universal.

The problem is that this would’ve had the greatest and most immediate impact on the public. No work because of power outages, means no job, no pay, less money and resources all around, in addition to no entertainment, no internet, no phone service, that’s in addition to the greater economic impact which is most impactful on the general public. Most of the officials and policy makers would just have to deal complications for few of days, if anything, the weakest links of the lowest rungs would be out, while the positions of most corrupt would remain secure.

@@TrueNativeScot Na they do very well in some places like Cayman Islands. And they developed the sister civilization of Kush up the river from Egypt with an major set of impressive buildings. This is common for post colonial governments world wide the process destroyed any ability to have a culture good for running it self especially as that area primitive first. Also common for traditional Latin American Countries which have been ran by whites from their founding by Spain and Portugal and they white. In that case they imported the feudal system of Europe somewhat modified and thus things stayed locked in poverty and misgovernment. There many very compliant African Americans in US military. The problem is cultural and in part the cultural problem is they don't want to look at fixing their culture they rather blame it on outsiders which is tradition in Latin America for hundreds of years. Again leadership in Latin America is mostly whites that had major taboos on marriage of non whites and instead married themselves and whites from all over Europe thus the blond hair real, light white skin and blue eyed hispanics.

I didn't see anything in NC :-(

the few clouds in the sky were oddly red-hued in southwestern Ohio, but it came out much more vividly when photographed!

It was in every direction here in Montana but it barely had any colors the coolest thing was to the southe it was pulsating waves of light from the horizon up, but other than that it was grey

States view weeks as a way to determine life and its right to life. They view two bodies as one and take the mothers will over the fetus. We have technology now for fetus to be grown in synthesized womb. Signs in the sky.. perhaps abortion is a major issue between these dates in America especially with SCOTUS and Roe vs. Wade.

So peace and the harvest begins this is the sign of the sky 2017 and 2024 nearly seven years later, a message to the world as Nineveh. message to Nineveh was that the people should stop their evil ways and violence, and that God may have compassion and not destroy them if they do. Gun and blade violence, war, these all are escalating. From fetus to old age the blade or bullet are a certain threat. This is evil. Apostasy is in the torrent flood from the mouth of the serpent. Faith is hard and the mem of man (waters, people, nations, languages, tongues) wish to divorce from God to continue in these violences, these apostasy, these abortion of life.

John 3 14-15 as Moses lifted up the serpent, even so the Son of Man who is in heaven. That whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. The way to eternal life is in Christ the one we pierced as artificial. Jesus was fully man and glorified. His mother had an immaculate conception. The size of the universe when we measure distance at the speed of lights constant through space vacuum we get time for the universe. Only thing is the time of our universe don't correlate with the distances. Meaning our universe is bigger than the time we measure it. Edge to edge its about 46.5 billion years. We measure it at 13.8 billion years old. Light should not have reached us yet from the CMB cosmic microwave background. How can the observable universe be larger than the time it takes light to travel over the age of the Universe? This is because the universe has been expanding during this time. This causes very distant objects to be further away from us than their light travel time. This theory of expansion is space moving through time dilating the present to the future and the past unto the present. Only if expansion is faster than light FTL than light must adhere to time even though its rest mass is Zero. Light is time. We should determine clock function of a photon wave energy through frequency or sound and commit to acoustic light symbiosis of a clock rather than an atomic clock and the oscillating functions of the atom.

Exactly. The Carrington event happened in 1859....

Now you have sparked my curiosity, probably, maybe, sound waves but I don't really know

There's another thread in the comments discussing it, which started with "Fun Fact". You're not delusional, as they do produce a cranking sounds... Crazy! 😊

You can clearly hear it with special radio equipment. It can sound like radio noise, rain falling on a metal roof, or birds tweeting. But a lot of people up north swear to hear it with their own ears on cold silent nights, describing it as a crackling and whishing sound. The Sami name for aurora, guovssahasat, means "light that you can hear". I read an article about scientists in Norway who have a hypothesis that electromagnetic waves might cause audible sound from vibration of small things, maybe even hairs. It's a difficult phenomenon to study, but they're on it.

I think it makes sense that electric plasma in the ionosphere could make some sound. If you ever get a plasma ball from a novelty toy store like Spencer's gifts, and put your ear near a plasma ball toy, it does make a bit of sound. It's like a fuzzy hummy sound, because they are like a tiny Tesla coil in a glass sphere.
