MARCH, 2015 FLARE. In the NASA video of the flare, the solar flare dramatically shoots out into outer space. In a still shot, it includes a scale image of the size of earth, a mere speck against the flare. If you think that the impact of Covid-19 is bad, imagine this. https://lnkd.in/eb6r2Ym View in LinkedIn

1859 CARRINGTON FLARE. "The so-called Carrington Event would be far more devastating if it happened today, given the greater reliance on electronics and the expanded power supply. However, thus far, it is the strongest storm yet recorded, though scientists think that a powerful CME from 2012 that missed Earth would have wrecked havoc for several years had it collided with the planet." https://lnkd.in/eD93wPS View in LinkedIn

CATASTROPHIC FLARES. “If a giant solar flare hit the Earth, it could knock out the entire power grid. The elecromagnetic pulse—or EMP—created by such an event could wipe out electricity for months on end, creating a global catastrophe. "This is a real and present danger," the White House's assistant director for space weather tells the Post. Something like that almost did happen in 2012, when NASA says we were nearly hit by two large plasma clouds. “If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces." https://lnkd.in/e2DG6re View in LinkedIn

SEPT 28, 2015, SOLAR FLARE. "At 10:53 a.m. EDT (1458 GMT) on Sept. 28, a solar flare caused a blackout in low-frequency radio communications over South America and the Atlantic Ocean, with weaker effects farther out. The unruly sunspot may prompt more solar flares, according to NASA." https://lnkd.in/ei_pJCJ View in LinkedIn

CHANGING BEHAVIOR. “There is growing evidence that laboratory rodents (Siberian hamster and C57Bl/6J mice) can be taught behaviours that can be affected when exposed to altered static magnetic field components of the geomagnetic field.” http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/81/20121046.short View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC SHIELD. “Earth is largely protected from the solar wind, a stream of energetic charged particles emanating from the Sun, by its magnetic field, which deflects most of the charged particles.” https://lnkd.in/ejihD2J View in LinkedIn

EXTREMELY WEAK MAGNETISM. “Underground Extremely Low Frequency antenna generating 0.1–0.5 µT between 72 and 80 Hz can disrupt bird orientation, which supports an account of effects of geomagnetic disturbances on orientation in birds.” http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/81/20121046.short View in LinkedIn

EXEMPLARS. “Weak extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (wELFMF). the minimal fields detectable by honeybees were 4.3 µT at 10 Hz and 430 µT at 60 Hz...effects on tail lifting behaviour could be observed in a species of lizards at 6 and 8 Hz for a peak field of 2.6 µT...disruptive effects on alignment of ruminants by a 50 Hz field from high voltage electric power lines continued out to a distance between 20 and 100 m, where the field strengths are between 0.1 and 1 µT...1 µT 0.5 Hz magnetic field affected c-Fos expression, a measure of neuronal activity, in the navigation circuit in Ansell's mole-rats.” https://lnkd.in/dyFKDiU View in LinkedIn
