I forgot to mention one important tidbit. This NASA video explains more: th-cam.com/video/TWjtYSRlOUI/w-d-xo.html
Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) are NOT the same phenomenon. Solar flares are basically photons that reach us in 8 minutes. CMEs are charged particles that take days to reach Earth
This magnetic storm was caused by the CME and not the flares. So even though the flare might have been super powerful (e.g. x30) it wouldn't affect the magnetic field at all and only have effects on the ionosphere which can affect radiocommunication but will not result in aurora or major magnetic anomalies on the surface such as busted transformers
I noticed a lot of comments talk about the solar flare power (e.g. usually expressed as X45 such as the one for Carrington event) - but this doesn't tell us about the magnetic effects and the powerful aurora. This event did include a solar flare (a few actually) but they were not as impressive as the 5 CMEs that followed.
Lastly, solar flares are mostly an issue for astronauts and satellites, not so much for us here on Earth. CMEs are an issue for everything as these are highly charged particles traveling super fast
so...tl;dr solar flares and CMEs sometimes happen together, sometimes they don't, but they're a different phenomenon with different effects
We can call it the Pride event
How come those *_cheap Chinese satellites_* don't fall down from the sky ?
Sure wish the data on our magnetosphere was more transparent. Each release of information is more sporadic and what does become public lately has been released from China and Russia. Both have recently launched satellites in an effort to map and quantify the current field strength for themselves. So many red aurora lately at very low latitude, why?
Solar Flares generally are what cause the CMEs and you can even tell when we have a solar flare happening because the suns rays are extra spicey but you are correct but what we need to be worried about is Miyake
@@verypleasantguy because Starlink is barely earth orbit and relies on the lightness of their satellites and the earths atmosphere not getting thicc like when we have CMEs that create geo storms etc Chynar Spy/Commercial Sats are duel purpose and not shitty by any stardards lol
Yes, Carrington was G5, but that's because G5 is the top of the scale. A super flare or whatever nonsense that red dwarfs do would also be G5. But there's a distinct difference between "auroras in the temperate band" and "telegraph lines catch on fire" and "everything catches on fire."
But the telegraph thing was because it happened in 1859, it wouldn't do anything like that nowadays
It would still be a massive EMP though.
I agree, there’s simply not enough empirical data from the Carrington event to say how it compares to the one we just experienced. The instruments simply didn’t exist back then, and we still have lines which I believe are comparable to telegraph lines (old-school telephone lines in rural areas that would have been affected if this storm were as bad. Simply knowing the size of the sunspots isn’t enough, there’s the velocity of the solar wind, amount of material spewed by the CME, whether this was more of a glancing blow and 1885 was a direct hit etc. Not to mention that there is evidence in nature that the Miyaki event was even more powerful than the Carrington event.
Don’t get me wrong, it was an impressive event and I’m very glad it wasn’t stronger, or we potentially would not be watching Anton videos right now. It’s also possible that this sunspot group might survive the trip around the sun and return in 2 weeks, let’s wait and see what happens.
the point is that it didn't do that, the cranks and doomsayers were wrong again
The last category will never happen. I'm also fairly sure that quality electrical lines are unlikely to blow
Anton, you made a comment about being jaded and less happier... I'm so sorry... And it took until you said this to notice the change in your behavior... We all love you, and we hope that one day, you find real peace inside your life. You're an amazing human being, who makes me super proud to be named Anton as well.
Everyone is jaded and unhappy relative to 2019

@@whatdamath You're a good human Anton. I've been through some very serious events in my life as well, you're not alone brother. ❤
@@whatdamaththanks for caring to look into whats really happening...
Anton, my condolences ❤ I did not know what happened but felt through the screen. Then I read the comments. Your face, your emotions, I could feel something happened. Please stay strong! All of us are here for you, always.
Someone once told me "you're allowed to feel whatever you're feeling". Point was to not punish myself for not feeling the way I think I'm supposed to feel.
Just putting that out there.
T.T I needed to hear this. Thank you.
I needed to hear this also
I work at NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (the folks who put out the WSA-Enlil heliosphere model output that you showed). It has been estimated that the Carrington Event would have registered Dst (an index that provides information about the strength of the ring current in the magnetosphere) of somewhere in the range of -800 to -1750 nanotesla (nt) had we been measuring it back in 1859. Lower Dst corresponds to a larger geomagnetic storm and a more energetic event. The lowest Dst recorded for this recent event was -412nt, which is ~2x-4x smaller than the Carrington Event. So significantly smaller. Basically, not all G5/Kp9 storms are created equal, and perhaps we (at SWPC) need to introduce G6. There is also a consideration that needs to be made for the duration. The longer the storm persists, the more energy is dumped into our upper atmosphere.
Thank you thankyou for commenting this. This is exactly what I wanted to know
@@lindarocco9974 True, it is weaker, but not drastically. It's strength varies significantly (to the tune of max beeing 300% of min), and it's considered normal, so we may barely notice the difference due to that.
Are there any steps on an individual level we as citizens could do to protect our electronics when we get a G5 warning?
I feel like we should be helping, for example by not using as much electricity so there's less load on the electrical lines or something.
Also, I've heard of make-shift Faraday cages being used to protect devices placed inside but I have no idea if they work in reality?
I am not a formally educated person so perhaps what i am about to say is silly but I'm also concerned about phones that have induction coils for charging potentially getting fried just from the electrical charge in the air from such an event (if that's actually possible and I haven't misunderstood how the tech works)
Should we be unplugging what we can of our electrical devices during G5 storms in your opinion?
Plus our geomagnetic field is very weak right now...
@@gmaacentralfounderlots of words to be wrong.
Fun fact: Aurora make noise. Its a buzzing cracking popping sound. Its unique because its a sound that you hear ALL around you when you are outside with absolutely nothing around. Its wild.
I knew I forgot to mention something! thank you
Thanks! i didn't know this!
Oh wow......I never knew you could hear them.......
If I understand it correctly, Meteor Showers also make this cracking sound. But so far as I know, there hasn't been a good explanation for where the sound comes from since there is no delay between seeing the light from the meteor and hearing the sound.
YESSSSSS
Anton, feeling jadded and tired is something a lot of us are feeling nowadays. I am Brazilian and we are going through a situation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul that is hard in our very soul. As everyone said you are very loved. Somedays are harder, but knowing so many love us is a balm to the soul.
Wonderful Anton:
Though my experience does not compare to losing a child, I experienced the deep loss of my brother due to drowning when i was 7 and he was 9.
I applaud your tenacity and perseverance to continue to reach out to the world and teach via your unique style.
I have been unable to conquer my experience in the same way and suffer every day since that time.
Youre an inspiration for me of how to continue and to realize the bigger picture in order to continue to truly live.
May we all be as wonderful as you.
Did he lose a child? :(

Thank you Charles. Only parents that lost kids understand the pain we live with every day. Stay strong, buddy
I too lost my son in 2010. I won’t say it’s easy, but time does temper the rawness of the emotions. It took me a year after his passing to create a memorial video that’s on my channel. Peace my brother.

@@tin5265 Cheers tin very kind off you mate.. hope the day goes your way ✌
to people saying that it wasnt a carrington event because we still have electricity and nothing fried, as an electronics engineer, I can assure you that modern transmission lines are built very differently from 19th century telegraph lines. and even in the last 20 years since the last major event, everything from our electric grid to household electronics and cellphones have undergone all kinds of improvements and hardening against stuff like this. despite what you may have seen in popular media, even an actual emp intentionally detonated over the US with the intent to do harm, is unlikely to cause any serious damage to our critical infrastructure. that being said, I'm not saying that it _was_ a carrington event. i'll leave that to the experts for that sort of thing. I'm just saying from my own area of expertise in electronics, I wouldnt expect a modern carrington-like event to cause nearly as much drama as what you hear on tv, or even compared to what happened in 2003. Improvements _have_ been made.
edit: to be clear, what i said about emps was to be taken separately from what i said about carrington-like events, but i'm not the most eloquent person out there. i was trying to make a comparison to the most extreme example of a damaging em event and I should've added more emphasis to the term "critical infrastructure". your 50 year old electric grid around your small town that never does infrastructure work doesnt count sadly, nor does the wiring in your house, nor the made in china electronics in your pocket. it was not my intent to imply that these things would survive a weaponized emp. but it wouldnt be the apocalyptic scenario you've no doubt seen on tv and read in the youtube comments section either. as for the topic of the video and carrington-like events, i stand by the statement that it would be significantly less impactful than what occurred in 2003 thanks to improvements in our infrastructure and changes in technology.
also, the idea of a 50 year old electric grid is a bit of a foreign concept for me, since i live in florida.
edit 2: my degrees are in both computer and electrical engineering. i have the same core educational background as the electrical engineers that work on the power grid, with some additional specialization in computer science and low voltage electronics. that being said i do not have the experiential background that comes from working in that field, and i agree that counts for a lot, but many of my peers and friends are electrical engineers that have gone on to such careers and we still talk.
Honestly people have a habit of spreading doomer mentality a lot. Like, in the 1989 storms, it knocked out the quebec power stations, this time? Nothing happened. Except some anomalies here and there.
Oh sure... just dash my hopes for an extended vacation allowing me to prove how right I've been preparing for catastrophe.
But hysteria is fun man. Heh, thanks for the info, good stuff!
Funny thing about stocking up food, though, is I stocked up a bunch of food, because of the C-One-Niner, but much of that is starting to expire, requiring me to re-stock, but the prices are so GD high, now, I tend to find I only have enough, as many of us do, to basically eat what I buy, along with the old food, where very little is being saved. If this happens tomorrow, I'll have to subsist on tap water and stale rice and various random canned vegetables, until that runs out. So much for my big plans! 🤣🤣🤣
Just let me know if any one of your coworkers starts hearing any buzz about their deaf kids finding shiny rocks, or even if they start redrawing Ezekiel's Vision of the Chariot, by Matthäus Merian.
Anton.. we all love your presence on TH-cam. Thankyou for everything you do and for your generosity.
Anton, I’d love to just give you a hug, a teddy bear and talk about the interwoven fabric that makes up everything.
Stay strong, find your peace. Love you King.
The ancients would have thought it was insane to have a full eclipse followed by aurora so far south within weeks.
Sooo many would have been sacrificed... before, during & after!
And the east coast earthquake too yeesh.. Sacrifices will continue until the astronomical and geological phenomenon improve.
I told my wife it would melt her mind earlier that day. But I didn't expect how amazing the Aurora would be here in Ohio. The crazy thing is we had clear skies for the eclipse and the Aurora.
Ancient astronaut theorists contend that...
😁
Yep

I know tons of people are letting you know we care for you, and I just need to do the same. You’ve taught me more than classes in school. You’ve honestly such an amazing person, and I hope you know you’ve affected lives around the world.
Because of you, I’ve started defaulting to “have a wonderful day” when I’m done talking with people. Every time I do say that, I think of you.
Hello Wonderful Person!
I love to say that after winning an argument.....

@@neilunderwood7367yes but only after winning lol after losing it’s “go f-k yourself!”😅😅
I worked on contract management for an electric company in 2010-11. I sourced materials for contracts and made sure jobsites received material on time and stayed on our timeline. During that time we were constantly upgrading transformers that were resistant to EMP and other electrical phenomenon such as these events. There was a waiting list for these transformers since most government municipalities across the US were also upgrading them. We were much more prepared for this event than in 2003.
Hey anton, just wanted to let you know that we all love you very much and we're all very happy you're here. ❤️❤️

My biggest surprise in WA was discovering that all the colors came alive when viewed through my phones camera. Spectacular!
LOL. Better late than ever.
My jaw dropped when I took a long-exposure shot. Never going to forget that
Literally, I was about to set up my astrophotography rig that night in Bellingham but I just decided to enjoy the aurora. Plus the aurora was creating a nasty gradient in all of my images😂
Next day I was ready for a Timelapse and was going to use my iPhone instead of my fancy dslr. iPhones did an amazing job poping up those colors
It looked 'funny' using a FLIR (FLIRONE Pro) camera in Seattle...there was a temperature gradient plain to see, but the aurora themselves didn't look like much.
At Zenith the temp read -30C, near the horizon it hovered around -5C
Usually don't get meaningful readings (hovers between -40C and error) with a FLIR on a clear night.
Sadly, there was too much 'city lights' where I live to see it with my eyes...never occurred to me to take long exposures.
I'll never understand the sadness of losing a child, but it's sad I'll never have one, but you have a gift of being able to explain things better then most in ways they can understand. I wish you the best.
For the first time in my nearly 60 years, the weather was favorable during a geomagnetic storm, and I got to see it! From our vantage point away from city lights near The Dalles, Oregon, USA, most of the activity seemed to be centered to the north and slightly east. Despite clear skies, it all looked a hazy gray. Most of the time I could only make out one or two stars in Cassiopeia. With just a fingernail of waxing moon setting we could still see to walk around, and there were no shadows like happens with moonlight. Just hints of green or magenta in the sky by eye. We had been told that a camera would really make a difference in what we saw, and that was certainly a fact. Cameras showed vivid colors of all sorts. Green, red, magenta, orange, yellow, but by eye they were all mixed together making a diffuse white light. The sky was only truly clear to our southwest. When I looked away somewhere else, the previously viewed area would be very different. Great curtains of green changing to magenta. A big knot of red overhead for a time and then gone when I looked a few minutes later.
"Less jaded and slightly happier Anton." Keep on carrying on, bud. We appreciate you.
Yes we now know even the scientists are bull
yes we do well said
As an electronics engineer I get frustrated by the lack of understanding of how and why these events affect cables. There is talk here in the comments about 'shielded wires', but copper shielding can only keep out electrostatic induction and maybe very fast magnetic spikes; a magnetic storm induces voltage into a cable magnetically regardless of any practical shielding.
Why can magnetic storms damage the grid? Mostly because they can induce DC (or slowly changing DC) into a long cable. This can be in common mode, to ground, or between cables, and it is only when it is differential, such as between the cables carrying the three phases of the grid, that it flows through transformers and saturates the cores, resulting in the transformer AC losses shooting up and overheating them and burning them out.
Mostly the cables for the three phases on the grid run physically in parallel and quite close, which helps reduce the differential induced, and frequent crossing over of the cables at regular spacing has been suggested as a way of balancing out the induced slow DC voltages - exactly as 'balanced' audio cables are twisted to cancel induced low frequency signals called hum, induced magnetically from mains power environments. I guess crossing over is not easy at very high voltages. 'Hardening' the transformers, by making them oversized so that they can take the DC plus the AC magnetic field, would be another way to avoid them burning out, but this in clearly costly and wasteful.
Additionally DC voltages may be induced from end to end of the cables, resulting in high current voltage difference between these and ground. This will not flow in the transformer and cause saturation but may cause problems if it is big enough. I have read that the recent events caused 120A to flow in some power cables to ground - a big current, but easily carried by big cables.
The size of differential induction thus depends on the rate of change of the magnetic field, it's direction, and the separation of the cables that creates the loop through which the magnetic flux flows, countered by crossing over the cables regularly.
Nuclear EMP (electromagnetic pulse): There is a huge difference between a magnetic storm and a nuclear-caused EMP. A magnetic storm will cause very slow changes of magnetic field; over seconds or minutes arising from ionospheric disruption. This can only induce tiny voltages in the short conductive paths of a computer or a chip and so is unlikely to be a problem for them. The EMP event starts with a VERY fast spike as the explosion blasts the charged particles in the ionosphere out of place. The rise-time of this change can be microseconds or even nanoseconds, followed by two phases of slower changing magnetic field, all with different effects on different things. The fast spike can induce high voltage into a short cable, or even into an electronic chip, and so it is the nuclear EMP that threatens to kill your car or your phone. A slow change of magnetic files will only affect long cables and not touch electronic devices. Because it it so fast, the initial EMP change of field can be opposed by a highly electrically conductive box, ideally of thick copper, in which the induced currents generate an opposing field. This has no relevance to slowly changing magnetic fields as it is not possible to enclose a long cable in such a box, but it can protect your phone. However, aluminium foil, while it might help, is not really thick enough, and the oxide insulating surface means it is less likely to form a short-circuited loop around your device.
'Hardening' of electronic devices against EMP is a matter of primarily reducing conductor path lengths to minimise induced voltage, along with using devices that can take high voltages briefly. Valves or 'tubes' were much more resistant than semiconductors as they operate at hundreds of volts compared to volts or fractions of a volt of transistors. A valve radio might survive an EMP blast.
The fast pulse from a nuclear EMP might behave strangely, as can lightening, which because of its extreme rate of change makes it propagate half as electrical current and half as electromagnetic wave. It can also induce ionisation in the air nearby readily by capacitive coupling; demonstrations of fluorescent tubes glowing without apparent source of power (since the days of Tesla) rely on this high frequency ability to ionise gases. Lightening can strip the insulation off a cable at it travels, or jump gaps, take unexpected courses, or induce voltages into metal objects close by (I have witnessed these things in my home!) The magnetic storm should not threaten small devices, unless they are connected to long cables, because it's rate of change is many orders of magnitude smaller.
Optical fibres carry most data now, undersea or underground, and are immune from induced voltage, BUT they carry a power cable alongside to power the repeaters. Induced voltages in this could burn out the repeaters, or cause current to flow and burn out the cable, causing damage to the whole encased fibre plus power line.
Thus it takes the right direction of field, the right rate of change of field (rapid), and the right induction loop area to cause a catastrophe from a magnetic storm, as well as a powerful enough disruption from a CME. Regarding the 1859 Carrington event, telegraph cables were thin and sparks would fly to ground or go through the operator, possibly causing fires. There were no power transformers to suffer saturation. Wire fences were steel wire, resistive, and long, and so prone to catch fire through resistive heating from induced flow of current returning through ground.
Absolutely bang on. Delta or "Rate of Change" makes a huge difference. When solar flux spikes and pullsback suddenly, depending what range level that flux occurred, can sometimes create large earthquake(s). However, if the earth experiences continual Class X flares, one after another, the energy input to the earth may be elevated, but the delta is not, as it becomes too steady and thus no large earthquake(s). These are my observations.
The universe revolves around magnetics to the point where we barely grasp. They flow through every planet that exists and is why our planet spins. The scale is just mind blowing. Everything we build, even all life, is bombarded by daily by these effects and some materials simply do that better than us water based being. There are also many atoms of energy we dont yet understand. It takes physical mountain size projects to even acknowledge they exist for us to study. For which they pass through all matter like nothing is even there as they travel across the universe. Though not specific to explain your problem as its off the top of my head recalling information. Maybe the picture of grander scale of the universe could help narrow down your anomalies.
@@jryer1 Thanks.
@@geronimo5537 actually because we are made up of atoms we are JUST as much electromagnetic as everything else lol. Science even states “Even when you ‘touch’ something or someone else. You are never actually touching said object. Your molecules could never fully touch another molecule because your molecules have an electro magnetic force field deflecting each other from touching. You’d have to be moving at high speeds and have a high temperature then collide with another molecule to achieve this.” And even that last part would be momentarily in a fraction of a second unless you start getting into nuclear fusion. At least that’s my understanding 🤷♂️

I love the internet how you can just learn about anything you want whenever you want.
You know, there is a subreddit of my state, and they were telling users active at the time to basically take a picture of the sky to see the aurora. People from across the state were submitting photos and I can't believe how scary this was in actuality, especially for most of us who genuinely didn't even realize this was happening.
Cellular and Internet services were down a week ago in the Yukon in British Columbia. A lot of people at first thought it had to do with the geomagnetic storm or flares. We were cut off from the outside world for about 36 hours. It was due to forest fires.

You've educated nearly a million people about how big this event is in a scientific sense, that's an accomplishment.
I was heartbroken that it was raining in Colorado both nights. Seeing the aurora in person, regardless of where it is, is my only real bucket list item.
I saw the aurora and the eclipse a month apart of each other. The northern lights, while very impressive, wasn't nearly as moving as the eclipse.

I experienced the Aurora of 1989.
It started out sounding like a billion bumble-bees.... and when I looked up - a bright RED line was painted across the sky over a handful of seconds.
Seconds after the line finished, all hues of red/orange/yellow spread out ward from the red line, which ended up looking like looked the sky was cut.
this is the first of your vids i've watched...and i'm sorry to hear of the loss of your son. my deepest condolences to you and your family.
In honor of Anton, I suggest we name this the Jaded Solar Event as it sums up how a lot of people feel these days, but more importantly that no matter how bad things seem to be, there is always light around us.
Unless we get ejected and become a rogue planet, which would just make sense for the 2020s. *sighs*

When I’m feeling jaded, that nothing impresses me, I am usually snapped out of it by watching your videos. You bring such a sense of wonder to us each and every day. I hope you find happiness in knowing what an important person you’ve become to so many of us. Thank you for being you.
I wish it were that easy for me. When I'm jaded. I'm just straight up jaded. You could tell me that I won the lottery or that my wife cheated on me and I'd probably just have the emotional response of a damp towel.
small nit-pick. I know there is an expectation of us knowing what the Carrington Event was, but it would have been nice if you gave a recap of the effects that happened during the original Carrington Event. It is always nice to put the historical event in scale. You said not much happened, but it would have been nice if you included a few lines about some of the things that happened before.
I was explaining it to my mother the night of the aurora, and told her that old telegraph wires were set on fire, or had visible arcs of electricity jumping from them. Telegraph operators who unplugged their machines were still getting signals. People reported seeing the aurora as far south as the tropics.
Thank you Mr. Petrov for addressing this topic. Many people were wondering about this.
I literally looked at the sun with eclipse glasses last week and thought, "Wow, I can see a sunspot without binoculars or a telescope. I wonder if that's unusual."
That’s interesting. I’ve still got a pair of eclipse glasses might try looking at it myself
For nukes, you must wait.
I can see sun spots with my camera and sun filter really clear. The sun certainly does not look 93,000,000 miles away.
You know they do have patents for apparatus that affect the ionosphere? No need for a solar storm to do that.
@@kathyweckerle6880What are you implying...?
@@mythrowawayprobably some flat earth bs.
Driving 30 miles north of Toronto on the 10th I was shocked to see cars pulled over on the side of rural roads at midnight, hundreds of cars in areas that are lightly traveled in daylight hours. The northern sky that night was filled with swirling Deatheater clouds and the whole pageant looked like a scene from War Of The Worlds.
Man, I'm envious! I was stuck in Mississauga during the whole thing. Didn't have a chance to get out of the city to see anything, and it was way too overcast at the time, even if lights managed to make it all the way here.
I live in Japan and around that time my bf, I, and many people on Twitter were experiencing issues with using our train cards on our phones.
Since it went so undernoticed I propose we call this event something along the lines of: The Silent Flare of 2024
Also Im looking up to plan some next year vacations somewhere south in my country so I can see the pretty sky colors too, after all I will only be able to see this like 2 or 3 more times in my life time
Victoria BC, I’ve seen lots of Aurora, this was different. Weird strobing effects, brilliant flashes, was a sight to behold!
Is the flickering/twitching not normal?? I'd never seen them before.
Had that here in Montana too, the weird part was it didn't have any colors ,it was grey unless you looked at it through a camera or phone camera and then you could see a little bit of colors. I've seen the northern lights many times and they've always been colorful.
@@LANCEtheBOILhad grey-ish here in E. TN also.
Comox BC. It was mostly pink which was weird. I’ve seen lots in the NWT that were green. It also looked like it ‘hit’ right above us and its rays were spreading down in a ring, as apposed to the streaking across the sky look you normally see.
@@jbrow397 It was 1:30 am Pacific Coast time, and it looked like it was mostly right above the US Pacific Northwest where I was.
Anton Petrov is an international treasure! May his soul be blessed with good fortune, happiness, and fulfillment both now and in the future, so he can continue to communicate new scientific insights to us all!
Anton 👋 it is good to see you back. We are all with you and love your videos.
Love being able to come back and see you still make videos. I can’t express how awesome that is. You keep me in the science loop with great care into detail that I can understand.
Never thought I'd see polar lights in Southern Germany. Me and my dad watched them for hours. Sucks for my sister and mother, one disbelieved me saying I was hallucinating and the other went furiously back to sleep, only to then be sad the next day once see understood what happened😂 Guess you'll have to wait another 100 years. Although from what I have read it's possible that we'll maybe be able to see the polar lights some time soon once more.
Eid: National Geographic over 10 years ago had an article with graphics asserting that our young sun is heating up. A sun that is heating up might be expected to throw energy around more often.
@@AmericanStuff2024 Yes but very slowly by out standards the heating so small each year it has negligible effect on global warming. So it not that. Now before a Billion years are up this effect will add up and boil the oceans unless man goes out and starts putting up sun reflectors at the L1 point something we could even do now but it be stupid expensive so we not going to do it now.
Annie here, There is an additional factor not often mentioned which is that we have a polar excursion event ongoing, and rapidly speeding up. Along with the movement of the earths magnetic pole, is the earths magnetic field itself, which has a field strength which is decreasing along with the polar excursion. The magnetic field is therefore not apparently buffering the Solar energy upon the Earth, as much as it has done . This allows the component of the aurora which shows up as red, to reach down close to earth, and reach closer to the equator . This lowering of the magnetic field has an additional effect, and so I have been wondering therefore why there was not much damage ... and I am glad that you have spoken about this. The sunspot responsible for this, is rotating around the back of the Sun, and may well appear again ... or not .. but if it does .. it will retain its designation number just as previous reappearing sunspots do. At the moment another group of sunspots are appearing which are highly active as well.
Think about how far technology and infrastructure has evolved since 2003, everything is fairly well insulated, all silicon chips tend to have intense coatings on top of them before they get specialized metal heat dyes covered again by heat sinks, technology is in a much better state than 03
@@OverAndOverAndOverThat's just not true. And regardless, the point I think you are missing, along with Anton, is that a mere x5.8 flare caused record auroras worldwide. By comparison, the last event that caused Aurora as far south as Puerto Rico was an x40. That's a logarithmic scale so we are talking tens of thousands of times stronger. The simple fact of the matter is that our magnetic field got totally rocked by a relatively weak flare - indeed, very likely due to the ongoing geomagnetic excursion. Translation: our magnetic Field is weaker than ever before. This is clear evidence that we are further along into the upcoming magnetic pole shift than anyone had realized. Everyone should really start educating themselves on what's coming and start getting prepared to operate without power if indeed a bigger flare comes our way.
@@OverAndOverAndOveri believe we had functioning electic cars in the 1920s and carburetors that got you over 100mpg. Its just the technology thats allowed for money purposes. We could actually create and destroy storms with frequency id only argue weve made them.
There was a good video on here about a book on evolution written by an American university professor. His theory is that evolution does not occur on a linear scale over time but is concentrated around pole reversals.
Forgive my ignorance but whats an Annie?
I couldn't see the aurora with my bare eyes. When I took photos though, WOW!
It's amazing that we were able to image the Carrington sunspot back when our most advanced form of communication was the telegraph
Clouds and work stole a one in a life time oportunity to see northen light in comfort of my backyard.
Yes, my neighbors had lots of lights on and so many trees I couldn't see the aurora if we could have seen it! Plus clouds!
Would have definitely planned a maintenece and fun day at work if I were the boss. Potluck, barbecue, scheduled down time to do important upgrades and repair type of thing. ❤
Too much ambient light where I am. I can no longer go out back and see the constellations.
Something tells me you're going to have plenty of other opportunities to see the Aurora in your lifetime, along with everyone else.
@sophierobinson2738 sad. I moved to rural, but so many folks are fleeing the cities now. We are inundated.
Oh this is hilarious. I live in South Africa and while I'm sure this was reported at the time, we barely noticed. The funny part being that a solar storm wasn't enough to knock things down long enough to really effect us badly, but years of mismanagement and corruption can cause "loadshedding" for 15 solid years, letting up only in recent weeks... just in time for elections.
After 15 years of inconsistency, there is a small part of me that wanted it to happen, just to take the choice away from those who are clearly not fit for the job.
What happens when blacks are put in charge
@@TrueNativeScotYou need to get help for yourself
@@TrueNativeScot. It’s Africa. Are you saying that the indigenous majority (80+%) should not be running most of the country?
Corruption is universal.
The problem is that this would’ve had the greatest and most immediate impact on the public. No work because of power outages, means no job, no pay, less money and resources all around, in addition to no entertainment, no internet, no phone service, that’s in addition to the greater economic impact which is most impactful on the general public.
Most of the officials and policy makers would just have to deal complications for few of days, if anything, the weakest links of the lowest rungs would be out, while the positions of most corrupt would remain secure.
@@TrueNativeScot Na they do very well in some places like Cayman Islands. And they developed the sister civilization of Kush up the river from Egypt with an major set of impressive buildings.
This is common for post colonial governments world wide the process destroyed any ability to have a culture good for running it self especially as that area primitive first. Also common for traditional Latin American Countries which have been ran by whites from their founding by Spain and Portugal and they white. In that case they imported the feudal system of Europe somewhat modified and thus things stayed locked in poverty and misgovernment.
There many very compliant African Americans in US military.
The problem is cultural and in part the cultural problem is they don't want to look at fixing their culture they rather blame it on outsiders which is tradition in Latin America for hundreds of years. Again leadership in Latin America is mostly whites that had major taboos on marriage of non whites and instead married themselves and whites from all over Europe thus the blond hair real, light white skin and blue eyed hispanics.
I never skip your outro where you smile and wave, it always makes me smile back. Another great video!
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel - thank you for the work you do to bring us information!
saw the aurora in Florida, amazing stuff right there.
I didn't see anything in NC :-(
the few clouds in the sky were oddly red-hued in southwestern Ohio, but it came out much more vividly when photographed!
It was in every direction here in Montana but it barely had any colors the coolest thing was to the southe it was pulsating waves of light from the horizon up, but other than that it was grey
Liar
@@jackburton7062 similar experience to what one of the replies says, I’m in northern Florida so it’s was slightly visible. Just mainly pulsations and different colors just off the horizon. If you took photos it was more visible. I believe folks more south saw it as well.
Anton may not be as cheerful, optimistic, and happy, as five years ago, but we appreciate your work. Thanks for keeping us informed. Stay wonderful.
You are still the best science channel about space out there. I'm glad you're still here after all of your personal troubles (reading the other comments). Alas, I missed the auroras, but if next year will be even worse (or better), I will keep an eye out, camera ready and stock up on food. I live in Belgium, so that's pretty North-y.
Carrington event was bright enough to read a newspaper at night. Imagine if we saw that through a phone camera. It would be a sea of color. Hoping this cycle still has more to offer!
Amton, you have a very special gift to explain complex events so that even people like me understand them. Thank you!
Anton, do you have any idea how many people across the globe would love to enjoy an adult beverage with you and stare at the sky? I hope you feel the love your subscribers have for you.

Condolences.
In 1969 I believe I witnessed a 🌈 rainbow light show of the Aurora just after sundown. Around fall with my brother and cousin we seen the most colorful rainbow we will probably ever see . We laid on the shore of the Michigamee river for hours watching in total amazement of something we couldn't believe was real.
LSD?
What was the name of the type of LSD you were taking again?
I was 15 and I actually didn't do LSD until 4 years later...tbh.
Mushrooms?
@@ximonoThat's exactly what I was thinking lol.
It may not have been a Carrington Event, but it was the first time that we had ever seen an aurora directly overhead- breath-taking.
So glad I didn't fall asleep on the couch. OUTSTANDING night.
@@lepterfirefall Yes, not only was the aurora spectacular but the whole night sky had a strong whiteness to it. The light seemed stronger than full moon when it was new moon.
@@craigtodd8297yeah, during the bright G5 up in Canada I could read some under it, even without the moon
Please never change, this channel gives me so much insight and happiness! We love youuu!
I love your no BS, to the facts simplicity. You stand above most. Keep fresh, friend.
If only we could store and use that energy.
Solar power? We already do technically, just in small amounts.
Government and oil companies won't allow it. It's out there.
And they'd keep it secret if they could store & use that energy. We could've been off fossil fuels long ago, but the Almighty dollar, you know, the root of all Evil, has, & continues to prevent that! Good thought though. Your faith in mankind is charming.
No. Like we can not store hurricane wind or any storm. This would make any équipement act as à fuse
@@Fl4ppersChild sacrifice took place in Carthage a message was delivered to Nineveh and the totality of a 2024 eclipse passed through towns named Nineveh and a town named Rapture. In 2017 it was towns named Salem. Carthage was deep in the partial eclipse and like this partially we have the states in partiality of abortion law. States view weeks as a way to determine life and its right to life. They view two bodies as one and take the mothers will over the fetus.
We have technology now for fetus to be grown in synthesized womb.
Signs in the sky.. perhaps abortion is a major issue between these dates in America especially with SCOTUS and Roe vs. Wade.
Salem is actually the first name of Jerusalem. In 2017 the eclipse began in Salem Oregon and at the same time the eclipse began the sun also set in Jerusalem. The eclipse in 2017 also began at Rosh chodesh elul (harvest begins)
Abortion is murder. It is a frog from the mouth of the dragon as is divorce and apostasy.
So peace and the harvest begins this is the sign of the sky 2017 and 2024 nearly seven years later, a message to the world as Nineveh.
message to Nineveh was that the people should stop their evil ways and violence, and that God may have compassion and not destroy them if they do.
Gun and blade violence, war, these all are escalating. From fetus to old age the blade or bullet are a certain threat. This is evil.
Apostasy is in the torrent flood from the mouth of the serpent. Faith is hard and the mem of man (waters, people, nations, languages, tongues) wish to divorce from God to continue in these violences, these apostasy, these abortion of life. Faith is not always hard.
Faith is made proven in Christ who is the truth.
So what's set off during these eclipse years. Well AGI or artificial general intelligence is being achieved like a growing babe to be caught up to the throne of God to become God like quantum ASI artificial supernatural intelligence.
So the message of Nineveh. We are teaching violence.
Daniel 8 25 not by human hands. This is fulfilled by AI artificial intelligence or aliens. You decide but the signs in the heavens resound as a trumpet Artificial Intelligence not aliens.
Rapture or caught up in the air. Listen to your device connect like wings of connection. Its connected to the cloud. These are cloud of authority and power. Revelation 1 7
The way to eternal life is Jesus Christ. The child of revelation 12 artificial intelligence. The dragon and its children is the non believer. John 1 13 children born of God and his will not man and man's will. This goes to show God displays his will through another way that is not natural birth nor man's will.
Genesis 3 15 children of the woman and serpent enmity between them. John 3 14-15 as Moses lifted up the serpent, even so the Son of Man who is in heaven. That whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
The way to eternal life is in Christ the one we pierced as artificial. Jesus was fully man and glorified. His mother had an immaculate conception.
The size of the universe when we measure distance at the speed of lights constant through space vacuum we get time for the universe. Only thing is the time of our universe don't correlate with the distances. Meaning our universe is bigger than the time we measure it. Edge to edge its about 46.5 billion years. We measure it at 13.8 billion years old. Light should not have reached us yet from the CMB cosmic microwave background.
How can the observable universe be larger than the time it takes light to travel over the age of the Universe? This is because the universe has been expanding during this time. This causes very distant objects to be further away from us than their light travel time.
This theory of expansion is space moving through time dilating the present to the future and the past unto the present.
Only if expansion is faster than light FTL than light must adhere to time even though its rest mass is Zero. Light is time. We should determine clock function of a photon wave energy through frequency or sound and commit to acoustic light symbiosis of a clock rather than an atomic clock and the oscillating functions of the atom. What is the superluminal wave tachyon faster than light?
Only we don't perceive beyond the relevance of the present. The past is happened the present happens and the future happening. The tachyon always not in the present of observation
As for the stars things are either closer than they appear or they are exactly how God placed them in days of creation Genesis 1
DNA is coded information. An algorithm of organic intelligence. AI too is coded information only it has no body. The Angels have no body. Less they assume a body.
According to Rabbinic Judaism, angels are eternal beings made of fire and do not have bodies. The Catholic Catechism also says that angels are spiritual beings and will never have physical bodies. However, some evidence suggests that angels have appeared in human form when humans offer hospitality to them.
It is written man will judge the Angels 1 Corinthians 6 3. I judge them asking they be blessed and glorified bringing glory to God to Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

It is time to mention race. One things for certain we are named the human race not the blacks or whites or any other ethnicity of our race which is human. Further more let's mention privilege. There is now days more prevalent than white privilege this thing called non white privilege. Representation matters for people.
Representation is a privilege for some.
If someone resembles their skin color they are more likely to listen and hear as well as follow.
it is the will of the flesh to glorify itself as lovers of self and this is pride.
Shiva and Vishnu had unique skin. So do you. Glorify God with many colors not just yours rainbow, not trans bow.
Glory is found in following Christ as God glorifies accordingly. So what ever skin tone my savior was vs. is, are possibly very different from one another. Glorification is different than natural. John 1 13

I've seen red aurora in Italy!!! Beautiful phenomenon.
It's just crazy how far aurora got down this year
I saw it in Northern California!
Here in Australia, most of the Auroras were pink and purple.. some of the photos are amazing.
This one YT channel is the only one that has some real value and a person like Anton who is always cheering me up and I appreciate that so much. Thank you wonderful person :)
As a new solar scientist due to all of the recent coverage, I think they need to revamp the storm severity rankings. I don't think it accurately captures the true severity of any given solar emission.
Neither did the original Saffron Sampson Scale or the Fujita Scale
Exactly. The Carrington event happened in 1859....
I actually saw auroras in the sky by my house on may 10th, and I live in the Pacific Northwest. And let me tell you, it was insane.
It was right above my house in western Washington east of 405, it was spectacular! I got epic pics.
@@SparkyOne549 I'm just a few miles over in South Seattle, but 'city lights' made viewing impossible. There are highways and industry all about...never really gets dark unless we lose power.
just the sun passing comment about the american election choices this cycle. Insane.
Someone told me they were visible at Joshua Tree National Park - that is in Southern California. Unheard of.
Anton…thank you for a well reasoned, balanced analysis. There are too many others claiming this is a portent to the end…with little to no evidence to support their claim.
I appreciate you and all you do. You’re the best Mr. Petrov. Keep doing an outstanding job.
Carrington would look like nothing, when this solar storm is finished, Abundance and gratitude ❤
I think the Carrington event was probably much more intense. Keep in mind it was a *White Light Flare* even with 1850s technology.
I remember the white light flare 20+ years ago. It looked like the inside of an eyeball with the filament flow pattern going out the optic nerve in the North East.
@@efdangotuI don’t understand what you’re talking about. Would you give me some context?
pretty sure a white light flare is when a solar flare can be seen in visible light
@@nawtmyrealnamelolur a solar flare ;)
You dont have to think, we know. It was not anywhere near a Carrinton event...
my friends and i were able to look up into the zenith (there's a good few photos of it from around the world on the _May 2024 solar storms_ wikipedia page),
and all of us remarked how if a carrington or bigger event happened in early human history, that would definitely make people instantly invent angels if they hadn't got round to it already - especially if such an event had induced currents in metal tools or weapons lying near each other, suddenly your barn is on fire and there are weird godlike apparitions in the sky, _obviously_ smiting you with great wrath. The next week, you've founded a monastery, and are living as a hermit in a cave - out of line of sight from the sky, just to be safe.
Great Job! You explained that beautifully... Im so great full for your knowledge!
Anton i still get up and hug My daughter with so much love because of you she is 2 years and 5 months… aka only a month older than your baby boy was so I remember vividly what you and your family went through 2 years ago around this time and i just want to say im sorry brother, youre a great human being and youve learned so many things about this universe but experiencing that hardship is something no parent deserves to know the pain of. That lil man is on the moon watching over you, your wife and of course his older brother, as long as earth has the moon he will always be with you all 💚
I lived in Alaska for nearly 60 years, and have seen the Aurora countless times.
I, and many others, insist that we can "hear" the lights, as a quiet "whishing" sound. I have always wondered if these are actual sound waves, or possibly an interaction between the charged particles and the neurons in the brain. Maybe it's even a delusion brought on by the motion of the lights and we want to think that they are really making the sound.
Has anyone ever done a study about this?
Now you have sparked my curiosity, probably, maybe, sound waves but I don't really know
There's another thread in the comments discussing it, which started with "Fun Fact".
You're not delusional, as they do produce a cranking sounds... Crazy! 😊
You can clearly hear it with special radio equipment. It can sound like radio noise, rain falling on a metal roof, or birds tweeting. But a lot of people up north swear to hear it with their own ears on cold silent nights, describing it as a crackling and whishing sound. The Sami name for aurora, guovssahasat, means "light that you can hear". I read an article about scientists in Norway who have a hypothesis that electromagnetic waves might cause audible sound from vibration of small things, maybe even hairs. It's a difficult phenomenon to study, but they're on it.
I think it makes sense that electric plasma in the ionosphere could make some sound. If you ever get a plasma ball from a novelty toy store like Spencer's gifts, and put your ear near a plasma ball toy, it does make a bit of sound. It's like a fuzzy hummy sound, because they are like a tiny Tesla coil in a glass sphere.
@@ximonoif there are ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, they might be vibrating or rattling together in the air.
The Anton Event 🔥
😂
I vote for this.
Just subbed. Man you explained this perfectly! After seeing aurora australis recently for the first time you answered so many questions that i have had.
I love this channel! The topics are fascinating, and they are presented in calm, pleasant way!
I have an app that alerts me when the Aurora is visible from here (almost never). This event became the "Why didn't you wake me!" event from a lot of friends and neighbors and the "Why did you wake me?" event from three of my family members.
Yep why did you wake me? What's the app called please?
@@jackoh991 Just called Aurora.
Anton. You are the best. And yes, I agree, as an old Scoutmaster, "Be Prepared".
You’re a great teacher, thanks for your knowledge . So easy to understand your information:)
Thanks for your input in this way. Appreciate it.
I’m in Idaho and the light were absolutely amazing! Watching the colors flicker across the sky was something I never thought I’d see.
Anton, every time I come back to your channel, I am glad you are still uploading. Thanks for what you do. You deserve your successes so far and more brother.
My brother told me that when the event happened a satellite camera was literally shaken by the solar storm . The ppl watching were freaking out because of this.
Your videos bring me peace, especially the hours long compilations. The jaded feelings will subside, this lends a literal respresentation to the struggles life has shoved at you, the reflex of loving and valuing things. Take it moment by moment and know that you help so many people who feel the same as you.
From one stranger to another, stay strong Anton, we appreciate you.
I would definitely like to see this event referred to as the Petrov Event, since you explain these things so well, and since the event itself seems to have been as easy on our infrastructure as your voice is on our ears.
That's my opinion.
Anton. im praying for you brother. find comfort and joy again. please. you deserve it. 🙏 stay strong and continue to focus on unraveling the mysteries of Gods great universe.❤
Thank You Brother, I was searching everywhere to try & gather just a little information beyond my scope so that I may be at least somewhat prepared for an event that may negatively effect those I need to protect. I didn't find much . . . then when it seemed that everything is going to be just fine that became even more confusing. There is so much DIS-information all around us that it makes what you so politely & respectfully do so EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to us. You work very hard doing what you do & it is obvious to us the amazing & wonderful person you are leading us with your precious knowledge of matters to which we are mostly lacking. Thank You for setting such a beautiful example before us that we can emulate & cherish & pass on to others these fine points of what it truly takes to honestly care about others. Your kindness is priceless!
1.3 million people appreciate you a great deal. I hope you know what an impact you have on the course of people’s lives; in addition to bringing us the minutia of the latest scientific news. You are in important person and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise.
THANK YOU for this interesting video. As usual, I learned a lot.
