- 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.

People in ontario canada had some beautiful skies, last night/ this morning.
Gonna be clear tonight in WI. I can't wait!
I saw them last night. I’m over in Green Bay well 45 minutes from Green Bay and on my way home from work I saw them you don’t look like what you think they would do.
I saw it last night in Massachusetts. Red and pink toward the horizon, green up above…it was phenomenal…
@@THEDARKNIGHT8657 Very cool! Only an hour or so til dark. I hope they are visible again tonight.
@@manifestgtr WOW. I've seen photos from family in MN and WA. I can't wait to see it with my own eyes.
@@button-puncher I hope you do see them, but I am warning. You don’t get your hopes up and all super bright colors. They’re gonna be very transparent still very cool to see
Yasss yaaa Sekhmet 😊
Southern Australia is absolutely amazing at the moment 🇦🇺
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.
Finding implements to unalive myself just in case. You won't catch me living in Mad Max.
Thank you for this enlightening information.
Perfect The SUN Perfect Nature.
How far apart were they?
There are more to come as the world goes around the sun week and a half
Anyone see auroras last night? cloudy here
we just put out a story about that: www.space.com/spectacular-northern-lights-rare-solar-flares-may-2024
Yes for about 2 hrs .bright blues greens reds and purple. It was stunning.
Yes, and it was amazing.
@@DanCooper404 dag nabbit. i really missed it
Plenty of people have been seeing them in southern parts of Australia.
Have we had this flare hit earth yet? May 13?
Dwayne chéri mon si merveilleux amour Je t'aime si fort chéri
Love so the Sun with u chéri
And love so Auroras like u Dwayne chéri
Its so beautiful so bright so stunning so magic and especialy so moving so emmotionel like u Dwayne Elliot chéri ...
Where in Florida can the Aurora be seen?
Your mom's house
@@SzymczykProductions well, my mother is dead, so…
@@TheNewEarthCollective1 that's not funny
means more aurora all over the globe
Unplug your Cybertruck
So 2 more ? But glancing blow not straight on ?
possibly straight on, its capable of messing with our power grid.
@@daMillenialTrucker yes given the amount we are getting now . With this one it has the potential to be a bit sketchy. We will see how it plays out
@@daMillenialTrucker60% change of regional issues. Only 12% chance of the "killshot" CME.

They do a lot actually, we never had so much green taxes, sabotage of mobility and freedom.
All gods are fiction.
Big quake might be coming . Beautiful yet deadly . Like ringing a bell when it hits can't feel the ding til later on if compared planet size it'll be slow motion till the hit. Us ants will feel it above.
