  • Eruptions from sunspot AR3664 have created a geomagnetic storm that is delivering jaw-dropping northern lights on Earth. On May 11, 2024, the sunspot blasted X5.8- and X1-class solar flares.
    NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks.

    The CMEs are still erupting. What's hitting us now is just the first of five CMEs that have erupted so far from the same sunspot complex that emerged on the 9th. The biggest of the five CMEs observed so far just happened last night and the plasma these CMEs are ejecting can travel at varying speeds of between 250 and 3000 km/s; the fastest waves reaching Earth within 15 hours, and the slowest taking as long as several days to reach us. Statistically speaking, it's unlikely this CME storm will be as severe as the Carrington Event of 1859, but there's no guarantee of that right now, and no way of knowing for sure until the strongest plasma waves reach the L1 Lagrange Point where the NOAA satellite is.
    If this does turn out to be as big as the 1859 event our first hint would be the total destruction of such Lagrange Point satellites and less than a half hour later the power could go out all over the planet. Since we're nowhere near prepared for such widespread damage to our power grid transformers, it could be as long as ten years before the lights come back on. No power, no internet, no TV, no phones, no refrigeration, and eventually no food at the grocery stores or as at the gas stations. Welcome back to the stone age and the greatest population crash in human history. From over 8 billion today to less than 1 billion by 2050.
    No, that probably won't happen. From what I know about CMEs, Carrington size events only happen on average about once in a hundred years, but that's an average, not a cycle you can set your watch by. And the really big CMEs, from 100 times up to 1,000 times more powerful than 1859 have only hit Earth three times in the last 2,700 years. "Scientists analyzing tree rings detected spikes of carbon-14 in the years 660 B.C., A.D. 774 and A.D. 994 that came from superflares that were significantly stronger than the Carrington Event."

    Hopefully all we'll see out of this is a pretty light show, but if you're wondering what kind of natural event could potentially put an end to civilization as we know it, this one's your huckleberry.
