Earth Harrowed by Strongest Magnetic Storm in Years
 
Quote:

An especially strong geomagnetic storm has started late in the night Sunday, according to the Russian Lebedev Physics Institute.

At the start of the storm, the amplitude of deviation of the magnetic field has jumped from degree 3 to degree 9 on the 10-degree scale.

The storm has continued through Saturday, writes RIA Novosti, but has significantly abated.

According to scientists, it is planetary and can be registered anywhere on Earth. They also have added that the proportions of the event were unexpected.

A geomagnetic storm of similar proportions has last been registered on December 15, 2006.

Geomagnetic storms are cause by eruptions in the sun which send a high masses of highly charged particles off from the star, causing disruptions in the Earth's magnetic field.

A complete electromagnetic wipeout would be an interesting way to reset the economy.

Back to 1865.

Could we still surf GFY?

It'd take a lot of energy for a complete wipe out. I think a lot of our infrastructure has RF shielding.

pretty common happenings for the sun to say the least. space.com goes ape shit anytime something like this happens. They wonder why kids have no interest in space anymore... haha

every 250,000 years or so Earth's North and South poles switch sides, we're due one any time now. this process isn't instantaneous. when this happens there is also a period when global electromagnetic shield is very low or not present (for a few years or decades).

Here is a story about how solar storms could knock power down in some areas for months or even years sometime this decade.

NASA recently issued this very unusual "Family/Personal Preparedness" statement to its employees. There is no specific threat attached to it. Hmm...

... but putting one and one together, it may have something to do with the 2012 solar storms they have been warning about since 2006.

Doesn't sound too harrowing. Shit, I didn't even know about it until reading about it on this message board.
