Interesting article. Thanks. Strange they don’t mention the Carrington Event.
Curious why he excluded the 1859 Carrington Event? That set telegraph wires and stations on fire, researchers say it penetrated 3 miles into the earth. My measly fire bunker is only six feet down.
Well that explains the rise of the Vikings................
Ben; Here you be! Coming attractions! Nothing really big expected but good to know.
SOLAR SECTOR BOUNDARY CROSSING: Earth is about to cross a fold in the heliospheric current sheet—a vast wavy structure in interplanetary space separating regions of opposite magnetic polarity. The crossing, called a “solar sector boundary crossing,” is expected on Jan. 10th and could cause geomagnetic activity around Earth’s poles. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.
A mega Carrington event could be a “lets return to grandpa’s time” teaching moment!
Lets hope that when it happens it’s centered on Pakistan and China.
The more important question to ask is “how will this affect our research grant”?
Priorities & all that rot...

● No events identified for next 2 theoretical intervals 84k and 96k but then there’s . . .

About right for a 12,000 solar micronova cycle...
Did anyone living at the time notice anything unusual?
I just want band conditions to improve.
