If you find anything interesting about sun phases please share them. I've been noticing a lot of articles coronal mass ejections and solar flares and such.
I'm trying to figure out if my web browser is just finding me more articles on the topic because I've read a few or if there is an actual increase of these things.
I read a book that was largely based on a CME back in the late 1800s. It was called the Carrington Event, I think. (I'm too lazy to go look it up.😁). It fried telegraph wires and started fires in some telegraph offices. If we are hit by another CME like that, it would fry most of the electric grid, knock out satellites and cause tons of problems. And those things would take months, if not years to rebuild or repair.
That type of thing is really concerning, because there's nothing we can really do to prepare for it, and we can't control the sun, so....🤷♀️
