I know you could see the aurora all over the place but did it actually cause any damage anywhere?
This came up in my feed.

Apparently it “disrupted” Starlink, but hasn’t permanently destroyed any of their satellites like the CME in 2022 did.
As far as I’m aware, it caused some temporary GPS interruptions but no permanent damage this time.
I was traveling across the state on those two days, so I was worried about GPS getting weird, but we didn’t have any issues.
Just gonna put this album here.
edit: Well, I’m surprised this got downvoted considering the entire theme of the album is a CME knocking out telecommunications and computer systems on earth leading to a total collapse of human society. Just a fun thing I came across and was reminded of with all the solar flare memes lately.
Gotta love the censorship in a science community.
If you’d like to see gore porn spam, there are other places for that lmao.
I wouldn’t. But it’s censorship, how am I supposed to know since it’s literally censored. There’s no reason listed as to why.
Enlighten us on the delightful things those usernames might say across several threads at the same time.
