A mysterious shock wave in a gust of solar wind has sent a barrage of high-speed material smashing into Earth’s magnetic field, opening up a crack in the magnetosphere. The barrage of plasma could lead to a geomagnetic storm today (Dec. 19), according to spaceweather.com.
The shockwave’s origins aren’t exactly known, but scientists think it could have come from a coronal mass ejection launched by the sunspot AR3165, a fizzing region on the sun’s surface that released a flurry of at least eight solar flares on Dec. 14, causing a brief radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean.
Sunspots are areas on the sun's surface where powerful magnetic fields, created by the flow of electrical charges, knot into kinks before suddenly snapping. The resulting release of energy launches bursts of radiation called solar flares, or plumes of solar material called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Once launched, CMEs travel at speeds in the millions of miles per hour, sweeping up charged particles from the solar wind to form a giant, combined wavefront that (if pointed toward Earth) can trigger geomagnetic storms.

More climate change... BTW... Somehow, some way... This will be our fault.
I must have missed it ,LOL
So, will tin foil help block these? Asking for a friend./s. Don’t Look up.
Can it be repaired with CO2 ?
Shiny side out.
(Or is it shiny side in?)
Darn cows
This sounds like an excuse…are scientists in reality playing around with the earth’s magnetic field and using this as an excuse to cover for what they know can potentially have devastating consequences if it gets out of control?

Could this trigger a rupture/tear in the space/time continuum?
That big dam in China caused this and global warming.
Note to self: pick up some Sunspot Block, it's right next to Sunblock in the personal care aisle.
Man, I sure hope so.
Shock waves from the sun can cause hormonal disturbances in women, turning on mating urges normally turned off.
The Egyptian Pharaohs, the Aztecs, the Incas and the Babylonians knew this.
This is why they worshipped the Sun-God.
climate change plus + trust the science equals = We’re all gonna die “AGAIN”.........

There goes Biden phasing out oil idea some solar flares in early 1900’a caused power lines to go up in smoke.

Old reports and photos can be found go for it.
