[ARTICLE] Scientists Think Solar Storms Will Knock Out Internet And Electrical Systems
[link to www.giantfreakinrobot.com (secure)]

Back in 1859, long before the internet, a massive geoelectrical storm knocked out the fuck off systems in the world. Reports were given of telegr4ph (word is banned here on glp) operators being shocked, the paper catching fire, and the equipment being operated without the batteries being connected. This was caused by the massive surge of electrical power caused by the storm. These storms occur when a bubble of superheated gas from the sun hits the earth. These storms cause massive damage to our solar system. This occurrence causes a massive surge in electrical activity and damage. Scientists studying these events have concluded that they occur every 500 years. The event in 1859, known as the Carrington Event, was the most recent. This could mean that in the year 2,359, another storm would wipe out the entire internet.

Solar Storm to Hit Earth, Prompting Monitoring by Airlines, Electric Grid Operators

Researchers won’t exactly know this storm’s strength until it reaches a monitoring satellite about 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth, at that point the waves will be about 90 minutes away, and the forecast could be updated.

Solar eruptions—called coronal mass ejections—burst from the sun in two waves Monday (yesterday), and are building up enough energy to potentially become a level 3 geomagnetic storm when it hits.

I've been monitoring the sun at www.spaceweather.com on almost a daily basis for the past 10 years and never have seen it as active during all of those years until recently. It just keeps throwing out one CME after another. So, yes, this is a significant concern.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Re: [ARTICLE] Scientists Think Solar Storms Will Knock Out Internet And Electrical Systems
SOLAR CYCLE UPDATE: New sunspot counts from NOAA confirm that Solar Cycle 25 is racing ahead of the official forecast--and the gap is growing:

Sunspot counts have now exceeded predictions for 18 straight months. The monthly value at the end of March was more than twice the forecast, and the highest in nearly 7 years.

The "official forecast" comes from the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel, a group of scientists representing NOAA, NASA and International Space Environmental Services (ISES). The Panel predicted that Solar Cycle 25 would peak in July 2025 as a relatively weak cycle, similar in magnitude to its predecessor Solar Cycle 24. Instead, Solar Cycle 25 is shaping up to be stronger.

In March 2022, the sun produced 146 solar flares, including one X-flare and 13 M-flares. Auroras were sighted as far south as Colorado (+38N) and Nebraska (+42N). Multiple shortwave radio blackouts disrupted communications on ships at sea and airplanes flying over the poles. If current trends continue, April will be even businer. Stay tuned. Solar flare alerts:

2025 is the predicted peak of cycle 25. This could be one of the most active cycles since the Carrington event. With the earth's weakening magnetic field, that could leads to some serious problems, particularly in northern latitudes.

I bet the "nothing burger" trolls will eat their words.

Your electrical panel is not likely to be damaged, it's sensitive electronics are the most susceptible. The problem today is almost everything has a microchip, including electric meters.

All can be shielded in a metal box/cage know as a "Faraday Cage", but knowing when to do that and have on hand is the question. If there was a serious threat, I doubt the govt. would notify the public for fear of the panic.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80479679


There are many parts of our grid that aren't sheilded. The issue really boils down to frequency of the electricity on an AC system. A CME/EMP can cause localized failures in places that are near impossible to predict. So you lose a portion of what is currently under load. This can cause the frequecy to spike, which creates feedback to the generator systems. That are protected. This is why its necessary when the system is under peak load for them to do rolling blackouts.

Look no further than what happened last year in Texas. The AC frequencies were getting to be very unstable. Necessitating them shutting down large swaths of the grid to protect generators and equipment. If you have sudden failures of systems.

Its conceptually similar to your car. Say you're cruising along in 5th gear at 70 MPH. Everything is happy and can handle the load from the engine. And you suddenly shift it into first. I know what you're going to say. "Thats mechanical, the grid is electrical."

Well yes that's true, and is kind of apples to oranges. Until you get to the generators, that ARE mechanical. And the amount of physical resistance they have is directly proportional to the amount of load thats on the system. They have to synchronize the generators when they bring them online as to not destroy the equipment.

A sudden loss of load on the system can cause all sorts of unforseen issues. And suppose they could even shut down the grid in time. Bringing it back up is a challenge. This is called a "black start." Where at every station and substation, transformer, breaker and switch needs to be set and prepared to be brought back online.

CMEs are a major threat to our grid. And to anyone paying attention. That little burning ball in the center of our solar system is starting to spit. Nothing devistating as of yet. But it has spit some nasty stuff before. Like in 1859... and it WILL again. Its only a matter of time. The question is when.
