Named Miyake events after the lead author of the first study to describe them, the spikes occur roughly once every 1,000 years or so and are recorded as sudden increases in the radiocarbon levels of ancient tree rings.
The leading theory among scientists is that Miyake events are solar flares that are 80 times more powerful than the strongest flare ever recorded. But a new study...suggests that the origin of the radiation bursts could be even more mysterious than first thought.
Scientists have spotted six Miyake events in tree rings so far, indicated by sudden, single-year leaps in the concentrations of carbon-14 and other isotopes; these occurred in the years 7176 B.C., 5410 B.C., 5259 B.C., 660 B.C., A.D. 774 and A.D. 993...
To investigate if the sudden carbon-14 spikes were caused by incredibly powerful solar flares, the researchers created a simplified model of the global carbon cycle; inputting the tree ring data to demonstrate how carbon was produced by solar radiation and absorbed into Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land and organisms. By comparing their timeline of atmospheric carbon with the known 11-year solar cycle, the researchers expected to find that the years of the Miyake events corresponded to moments of peak solar activity.
But instead they discovered that the Miyake events did not line up with peak solar activity, and some of the events, unlike the brief flashes we recognize as solar flares, lasted for one or two years.
The... 1859 Carrington Event, which...sent powerful streams of solar particles that fried telegraph systems all over the world...released roughly the same energy as 10 billion 1-megaton atomic bombs. If an equally powerful flare were to hit Earth now, it would cause an 'internet apocalypse'... But the Carrington Event was 80 times less powerful than the A.D. 774 Miyake event.

Only when it gets angry.
Trump’s fault. Womyn and minorities hardest hit.
No, but we can have some reminds of old trees which can be aligned with newer records. After few of those alignments, you get to present.
The 1859 event was NOT a “major” event. It was 80X LESS powerful than the events they are describing. The last Big One was AD 774
It ain’t the Sun.
Shall they rename the ‘events’ after me? /s
iirc, that’s what Texas does.
Where is the 9000 year old tree?
“10 billion 1-megaton atomic bombs”
Remember we humans are changing the climate on earth and not the sun....
The article says every 1000 years or so, then it says they occurred in the years 7176 B.C., 5410 B.C., 5259 B.C., 660 B.C., A.D. 774 and A.D. 993..
If my math is correct, that’s not every 1000 years or so - that’s very irregular intervals of 1766, 151, 4599, 1434, and 219.
So we can safely assume it will happen in 5000 years, tomorrow, never, or any time in between.
Petrified wood ...
Well, after 10,000 years of pummeling, you would think it would give up. Determined little sucker, isn’t it?
Thanks BenLurkin, a twofer.
