What surprises me the most is that people were able to anticipate and prepare for the effects. You don't hear a lot of this kind of news of engineers and scientists having positive, practical effects in the media environment of panic and fear over things like the failure of a single jet engine. A strong dash of hope. Thank you Anton for bringing us these important details :)
Dr. Tamitha Skov, Professor of Heliophysics in LA, also regularly reports on solar activity and its effects or space weather (on the TH-cam channel Dr. Tamitha Skov). She and her colleagues specialize in this and a lot can be learned about it. She also regularly predicts the effects on radio traffic, which can be very important for emergency services and air traffic, for example. She has also reported on the effects on satellite navigation in agriculture. In North America, the last major solar event meant that entire activities such as sowing had to be postponed, which can have long-term effects, including economic effects.
It is also interesting to note that not all layers of the sun move or rotate at the same speed, comparable to effects in the atmospheres of gaseous planets such as Jupiter. And that the cycles of the sun are still a mystery, as Anton has already reported.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy to predict the effects of solar events, especially since it depends not only on how strong the solar eruptions are, but also, for example, whether the earth moves into the emission due to its orbit around the sun and which side of the earth is particularly affected due to the earth's rotation.
Fear mongering sells a divided people better
I got lucky and saw the auroras here in Melbourne. Light pollution also affected how well you can see the lights. I had to travel 10 minutes away from the suburbs towards the beach to get a good view of the sky without any suburbs south of me lighting up the sky. It was a night to remember.
Fascinating episode! I am 66 and had never seen aurora before, despite having a keen interest in astronomy and even having gone to Iceland on a trip to see the aurora - nothing! And then to get such a display on my doorstep, absolutely mind-blowing!
@@PhilW222 I live in Indiana and I missed it but I got to see that monster Sun spot through my telescope something I'll never forget
I went to Iceland as well and got to see it, but it was only green color
Happy for you ....but it happens down in the Southern Hemisphere as well lol...I even met my Finnish GF in Tasmania ...and my wife of 32 years on another trip home ? ...life is crazy.
So cool!! Very lucky! I have similar interests in astronomy and a minor ufo encounter while active duty, while in the middle of the ocean, I am 38 and have never seen an aurora, despite having served on a frigate on the Atlantic, in the Navy, doing ops in the arctic circle, standing watch for seemingly endless hours for sometimes a week, just staring at the sky and ocean, not once did I see it. This event happens, here in the lower mid west, OF COURSE we had overcast skies for the entire week. Someday maybe haha!
@xxACIDVIRUSxx I've seen it many times in Southern Tasmania very beautiful in green and red ..not extremely intense but lending an extra very ethereal glow to stars and the thin pointy clouds i seem to associate with those evenings ..There were signs it was on its way ..with this glow ..a few hours after sundown ..it would reach a peak of intensity maybe ..an hour or two later ..then gradually fade away ..I'm guessing these recent ..ionic storms ..would last much longer .
I may not have seen the auroras but I did get to see the most remarkable solar eclipse for over 4 minutes this year, which was one hell of a consolation prize.
Me too, Mississippi River in Southern Illinois. It was awesome.
@@HedonisticPuritan-mp6xvI took my daughter and her best friend to southern Ohio to see it. We saw it less than 2 minutes, but they said it was the coolest thing they have ever seen 😁
Anton is so unpretentious and calm, I love to listen to your updates.
It makes me happy, at least for the duration of the video, to know there are people like Anton among us. Wish there were many more!
@@christophermartin8366 Success hasn't gone to Anton's head the slightest bit. If you watch an episode of What Da Math from 5 or 6 years ago, he hasn't changed at all. I miss that opening music. It takes me back so fast it's like time travel.
You can tell Anton is genuinely a Wonderful Person!
That’s what makes the mind control so comfortable…a spoonful of sugar.
@@cma4023 what are you on about?
@@cma4023 said the flatearther
I am so frustrated. I was out at 11PM working on landscape lights that night. I didn't look up :( I found out at 6AM the next morning.
I live in a tent.. in canada. I looked north, couldn't even see it. Just black. So don't be too bummed!
Dont worry, I like pizza
If this was a Carrington Event all the apocalypse stuff I’ve heard over the years was total crap.
@@brokeandtiredit wasn’t crap at all. We had one data point to base predictions on. This wasn’t anywhere near as strong. The risk is still real.
@@brokeandtired Because they new exactly how to protect the systems back then from a phenomenon they knew nothing about.
Dear sir - I am an (forced) retired engineer of about 45 years (senior manager for more than 10). You give me joy to see your shows. Thank you
Well hello Mr fancy pants.
Lots of love and light to you, I know how it feels (cancer sidelined me)
A victim of DEI hiring discrimination?
@@donaldcarey114you’re so beyond weird get a life and a job
Hello Jonathan. Do you want to tell everyone what we can do to entertain you since you feel the need to show off @@jonathanwhite3507
I was in Southern Arizona and I could see it but only faintly was my naked eye. When I pulled up the camera in night vision mode, it helped a lot
Also in Southern AZ and we had the same experience. I really don't get it, though. These were X class flares, but not actually big ones. This time we were hit with a X1.5, a X4.5 and several M class flares over days. I've been watching solar weather off an on for decades and this makes no sense to me. The storm and earth effects were indeed remarkable, but the sun didn't do anything out of the norm for a solar maximum. In 2003 I was watching when we took an X13 - and our planet didn't react like it did to these little ones.
Why did all this activity kick off with a little X1.5?
@@PatrickPease night vision and stargazing are amazing! I don't know why people don't put the word out on how spectacular it can be
Yeah the March '89 storm we actually saw the aurora as tall red pillars marching across the sky in the west-southwest in southern NSW, Australia at a rough latitude of 36°13'08S
That was exactly what we saw here in the South Adelaide Hills this year! So different to any pictures I had seen and FAR from what I imagined it would be, but wow did it take my breath away
@@greg_one_izm yeah I missed this year, ACT had cloud :)
So you saw the Aurora Australis. Those kinds of aurora are very rare to see, as they are usually above Antarctica or just outside of it. And even more so when you consider that the majority of the human population lives in the Northern Hemisphere.
In other words, consider yourself lucky.
Dirt mounds might be the best strat for blocking radiation. There's lots of loose dirt available, and not much else. Build the structure in a crater, and fill over. Viola. You might even be able to cause a strategic avalanche along the edge of the crater to fill over the structure at the center in a very energy efficient manner. Use a braced cyllindrical structure to spread out the impact of the avalanche, which will ideally push on all sides with a uniform force.
if your engineering mars based habitats at 8 pm how on earth will you be sleeping before the sun rises tomorrow. im concerned
Sending robotic diggers to dig underground tunnels might be easier, tho
3d printing also would be great to create bricks out of Mars soil
Same can be done on the moon
@@10khz97 I'm thinking explosives. Boring equipment is quite heavy and requires maintainece. C4 is safe to pack into rockets because heat nor impact will set it off. A single rocket full of C4 could collapse many craters.
I live on lake Michigan in WI, and spent that night, and half the next out watching the display, It was mindblowing. I've been watching them for more than 20 years now and seen dozens, most faint nebulous glows that only reveal color to caneras, but a couple vivid and stretching across the sky. I had just driven to the IL/KY border on 4/8 to watch the eclipse, which was no less profoundly amazing. I am desperate to score a trifecta this year with a comet/bright meteor shower or anything that can reasonably share such company. Now if only Betelgeuse would hurry up and pop!
Close enough to it .
It sent my neurpathy into over-drive - The Melbourne Araua Australis , , is closest to where i live . The wildlfe , was very quiet in that time . Most electronics were slower though , such as EFTOS , Tills .
Lovely to see such vibrant colors , so far out of the normal range , and appearing as one sheet of plasma boosted gaseous elements .
Im near on 70 , and the May 24 storm , was the first ive seen personaly , a long way bouve its normal range .
i was so lucky to see it-- i was randomly on a walk with a friend and hadn't even heard about it. I started crying as ive always wanted to see the aurora, i could see it clearly even over the seattle light pollution
As the Earth's electricomagnetic field weakens more rapidly, weaker earth directed sun releases will generate increasingly unexpected geomagnetic conditions and just this last year we've seen exactly that. Eyes Open, No Fear. I appreciate your content Anton. Your voice is comfort.
I watched it for hours, but went to bed around 3:30am and couldnt even fall asleep. Now I wish I had stayed out there and watched every last minute of it until sunrise since it was such a rare event! I was in the PNW, on a remote beach with no light pollution. It was amazing! But man, I should have watched every minute of it!!
I live in the English Midlands just north of Birmingham, and the view from here was simply spectacular, with the aurora not just being overhead but also seen in the sky to our south. It really was the most beautiful experience. I hope that you'll be able to see them the next time the aurora puts on a show like this.
And....thank you for your brilliant videos. They are always so very informative and interesting. Thank you :)
There was a lot of very impressive footage from the British Isles, e.g. that was sent to the BBC by viewers and published by them. You folks were really lucky there, which made me happy. Many greetings from Germany.
And: well said about Antons videos. Thank you very much!
Sorry to hear you live that close to birmingham, hope you're doing okay
I saw a patch of aurora slightly to the south from down in Dorset 😂
It was truly breathtaking, I'd seen them on Skye by eye before, but only in monochrome, and a strong burst meant I got a brief glimpse down in Poole on a long exposure photo.
But this storm? Full colour easily visible to the naked eye.
We're in Oxon and had inherited a handful of clocks. They were all those cheap quartz mechs, two had flat battery and one had no battery, all kept up in the loft. We've been going though them, last year they were put away working and now all 3 are dead. Replacing battery does nothing. I should have checked them before this event i guess. Looking online I'm going to have trouble getting exact new parts
That 2003 event must be the source of why I was seeing red colors slightly flashing in the sky back when I lived in Virginia. I even showed my mother she told me we should go inside in case it had to do with something nuclear. I laughed and told her that wouldn't cause that, but then again I nearly failed the 4th grade because I was more interested in reading books about black holes and neutron stars than leaning clearly less interesting basic subjects.
Of course, the Carrington Event was the largest storm of the twentieth century. But, we should keep in mind, several studies of tree rings have found evidence for even larger storms in our sun's past, with the largest event so far, appearing to be about 14,300 years ago. This storm was said to have been more severe than the Carrington Event by an order of magnitude. Had it occurred today, severe damage to our satellites, undersea fibre optic cables, and electric grids would likely have been the result, with our ozone layer being partly blown off into space. It is possible the next 14,000 years will be a relatively peaceful time for our sun. On the other hand, it could be a particularly active period. We don't know. But a hundred and fifty years since the Carrington Event is a drop in the bucket. We should definitely be preparing for these kinds of events.
Yeah bro you're presentations are on point.
I drove out to the middle of nowhere Montana, and Blessed with a Clear sky, stayed out there for hours! Outstanding show!!
Anton, how are ya doing? I hope all is well on your end. Remember this. You are worthwhile and are a great person.
If it makes you feel better Anton, people drove here to see it after seeing pictures. It was only visible to cameras, so they all missed it.
-Joshua Tree, CA
Awesome work Anton..I remember one in the early 1970's which allowed shortwave communication between USA and Tasmania Australia .during the day ..I think that one was fairly significant ..But now I'm really curious..
That's pretty cool! I've heard of DXing but that is nuts.
The image @8:16 is incorrect. That is not sunspot 3664 which was responsible for the May 2024 solar storm. That is an image of region 2192 from October 2014.
Found the solar physicist.
I saw the G5 May 11th at 2am in Wauwatosa, WI. It was crazy spectacular! It was overhead and at the horizon. It pulsed and danced. It was green, blue, purple and pink. Breath-taking! My satellite car gps gave me crazy directions too.
As always Petrov, your knowledge know no bounds in space. Thanks for your time
Taking advantage of the great dark swath of Lake Ontario to our north here in western NY, I have seen the aurora a few times. Only once did I see multi-colors; green a couple times.
Only one of the three nights in May was unclouded. Directly overhead and even to the south, I observed barely visible cloud like wisps. It took awhile to determine they were not clouds. Once they started jumping around and pulsating, I knew.
Still hope to see a show to equal what many of you saw. Thanks for this update, Anton. I love learning the science nearly as much as seeing the show!
3:26 We did not suspend planting operations, but we had to rely on hand steering a lot of the time. We can still easily see the areas planted without aid of GPS, rather messy and crooked.
Thank you Mr. Petrov, for this information. It is exciting to know this event was captured from space toward earth, and from Mars as well! I am keen to find out what will be learned from studying this data.
I've seen it here in Poland. It was pink and beautiful. I was amazed, just like when I saw Hale-Bopp comet as a child.
I'm in Iowa. At 11 PM at night I thought it was very bright. But then I went back outside at 2 AM and was blown away just how much brighter and faster all the green and purple streams were flying across the sky.
Coming back to watch but on title, No - effects may have seemed like it but they were because the magnetosphere is so low (& dropping faster) & NOT because we had a major solar event.
Academia will not adress this. I respect Anton but this is a lot of spin dancing round the real problem.
I understand the frustration of not being able to see a major astronomical event. I live in Washington state. It'll be clear for days and the night of an asteroid shower, heavy clouds roll in. I havent been able to see so many events in recent hostory, I feel so lucky having been able to witness these aurora.
Personally I feel many scientists are being irresponsible by not adressing the obvious. Those CME's were nothing, they should not have sparked off Auroras like that. Yes we can say the aurora level was on par with the Carrington event but the magnitudes of the cmes that caused the events were no where near the same. Our magnetic field strength needs to be discussed.
I live in Southern Maryland and it was cloudy and I couldn’t see it, but my son in South Carolina took wonderful pictures and sent them to me. He said it looked better on his iPhone pictures than in real life.
I'm from Maryland too, the clouds were pretty unfortunate.
Holy shit.. no wonder we were hitting 45 on the heat index in the Philippines and that hot coffee we drink hits differently. Sadly, my gossiping neighbors lived through this storm. Heart attack and stroke did not do their thing. Thanks Anton! You and Astrum are my favorite Astronomy channels!
I live in Melbourne (Australia) and I got some cool shots on my phone even with lots of light pollution.
It destroyed the radio transmitter of my DJI Mini 2 drone. Lucky for me I had bought a back up Mini 2. So I'm down one drone but still flying. Lesson learned. Do not fly drones during a Carrington Event. My drone didn't fall out of the sky, the return to home function brought it back to its starting point, but the drone itself is now unusable. The onboard radio transmitter is dead.
This was probably the most amazing thing I ever saw
Wonderful video. The fact that we know this much about that storm this soon after it happened is incredible. We're pretty smart monkeys after all.
A marvelous video from a wonderful person.
Apes. We're not monkeys.
You are the best Anton! My nephew 7 years old loves to know what you have to say abouy space. He asks me sometimes "what Anton has said lately?" ;)
I would of never guessed the you were from Quebec, well hello from Magog Quebec
By chance I was camping in southern Minnesota during this event and saw reds and purples along with typical greens which was just wild! Auroras in northern Minnesota happen somewhat often each year but are usually just shades of green. It was a great show.
I remember in Florida, night had a very subtle green-purple hue, and the heat lightning had a vivid orange-red glow and was tremendously frequent for those nights. Heat lightning happens a lot during heavy solar activity, but this time had a very strange orange hue to it
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. ✌️🙂
I live north enough, that I see aurora many times a year, during the high intensity portion of the solar cycle.
What blew my mind was that the aurora appeared so far south, that my northern sky was completely clear!
I had to turn around to look SOUTH to see the aurora! My God, they were magnificent. On the scale from 1 to 10, these were 11+, while most aurora I see are 1~3 in terms of visual spectacle.
I stayed up untill the dawn. By about 5 a.m, it was bright enough outside that it would've been impossible to see any more aurora.
1:53 dont feel too bad, we had cloud cover in southern alberta for that storm so i missed it too
Just across the border in SW Sask, we had excellent display. We were seeding. Cut the tractor lights and watch the sky. But GPS guidance was acting up so could not go far without seeing where we were going. Guidance was actually most troublesome early that afternoon.
I had an SSD drive that refused to function that weekend. That Monday it came back online and has worked fine ever since. I also had a variety of glitchy networking issues despite the fact we were using a fiber optic connection. One of the people we tried to game with was on Starlink though, and we run Starlink as our failover, so that might have had something to do with it.
I had problems with the internet that day too! I have a fiber optic connection and the ping was crazy, jumping to even 1000ms
i missed all the aurora as i only find out after the fact. but then again, that is how aurora always is for me. thanks to that storm, i found out about apps that can alert me when the aurora chances go up. i also learned that usually only cameras can see aurora. so the next storm if there is another one while im alive, im ready for it
Didn’t happen here either but friends from nearly 2500 miles away towards the east coast got wonderful pics. Just amazing
I saw it in central California! Took a couple minutes to adjust to the darkness and actually see it, but I saw it! Amazing! Arguably better than the Eclipse earlier this year!
Wow! Monitoring solar storm activity from Mars. To someone like me, who remembers Apollo missions vividly, this really looks like Sci Fi😮
Had access to the clear sky...not a flicker for me!
CooL stuff Anton! 😎
I wish there was an app to download to our phones that alerts us of things like this 😭 It's rare enough to have clear skies in the west of norway, and then miss it on such a lucky day as well 😭
The biggest Arora was because of the weakened magnetic field please do a video on pole shift and it's effects on interstellar weather
I saw it in the UK, blew my mind, was brighter than the street lights
I had nonidea you were in Quebec Anton! I'm in Longueuil! I absolutely love all your videos! Fantastic stuff and you have a great soothing voice :)
He is from Quebec. I think he lives in South Korea presently.
Southern Ontario Canada. I happen to work very early hours of the day. So I was able to wake up and have a cup of coffee while looking at the northern lights.
I’m impressed by how well all the tech did, it seems like actual thought was put into that system
So glad I was able to take photographs and post a video of this event.
Hello wonderful Anton!
You are correct in pointing out that CMEs are the main cause of the storm, not solar flares. However, you could add more information about the connection between sunspots and CMEs, so readers can better understand the mechanism of storm formation.
Also, the mention of the auroras on Mars is an interesting point, I really liked this issue.
I would like to quote to wish us more and more development on the path of science. Stephen Hawking in the book "Der Spiegel" published in 1988: "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
Thank you.
I captured some very good Aurora pictures and video from Georgia. I was outside when it started. I live in Rural Central Georgia. Very little light pollution from Atlanta.
I posted a short video on my YT channel but it has very low views. I do Jeep and Off roading videos so I think the algorithm didn’t know how to show that video.
Love your videos, I’m very interested in Astronomy. When I out in the Wilderness on Jeep rides I takes lots of pictures of the night sky
It rained the entire week. I'm straight up mad.
Thanks!
I think personal observersions is made when you are young and out / coming home from your hobbies.. I remember watching auroras often when skating/ playing hockey for fun as a ~10 year old( 1983 ) , but as an adult I never stay up to watch the sky : I watch TV now... I feel magnetic and low-pressurewheather very much, but just to check them out aftervards, despytes having problems with fullmoon / midnightsun.... (. I live in Finland)
Thanks Anton - love your content!!!
In Tennessee, I didn't see the aurora, but I did see the big sunspot during the day with my eclipse glasses.
Yeah... a fuse on my brand new dryer went out. I was able to replace it with some elbow grease and youtube. So, yeah, that was great.
I totally relate with your disappointment, Anton! Me and my partner live in "north part of south" Sweden, and as usual we had very overcast nights during this interesting period😒
thank you for this great content; cheers man!
I was in the hospital icu when this hit. Cable was down. Internet was down. Radio reception was horrible. Nurses were pulling out old paper work systems and trying to relearn them. It was a hoot :) They were blaming their computer systems- but it was almost obvious to me we were getting slammed with rf.
Just yesterday evening i came home from work at twilight and the sky was fully pink I didn't know it's rare like that! I was hesitating to stop to take a picture but only had my smartphone on me.
Thank you, Anton
Yeah, I'm in Maryland and should have theoretically been able to see them. It was freaking cloudy most of the time, though. I've been hoping for an event like this and missed it.
Thank you Anton!
Last week we had a KP index of almost 8 again for a few hours in the afternoon here 😀
Dont be upset, we cant see aurora at all. I will so love to see them! :)
I have no idea I did not notice anything. 😊❤ Probably too busy watching you tube videos. 🙃
"Hello wonderful person!" instant like
Great vid. Thanks Anton.
So coool!! We had overcast skies for the entire event unfortunately, ive still never seen an aurora in real life. Dream about em though!
I hear ya, Anton. Our weather wasn’t cooperative here.
Though I was too far south to see the auroras, I can’t complain too much, since I was directly in the middle of the path of the total eclipse over North America.
I went to southern Illinois to see it. I saw the last one there too. It was really cool.
I think we were very close Anton, but the planet Alignments were not the same. This is very important. Due to planet alignments coming ahead, we may be having a pole flip!A certain planetary configuration as well as an asteroid may cause the big one… and a pole flip may also happen soon after that, due to the consistent upheaval via the magnetic grid unrest.
Yeah, my location apparently did have a strong aurora. Alas, as is typical in the area, it was cloudy. Apparently, it's some undiscovered law of astrophysics that whenever something interesting occurs in the sky, it'll be cloudy here.
Oddly, where typically, a geomagnetic storm of modest proportions will result in every computer in my home requiring a reboot due to power glitches, that one did not. I suspect a telluric current under the river outside that drifted a bit farther away, likely due to the magnetic orientation of the CME.
Hadn't seen or heard about that ocean networks data. So that's pretty cool - from deep under sea to Mars
Very Interesting information, thanks 👍😊
It was cloudy and rainy during this entire event in the mid-Atlantic region of the US - never saw one second of the aurora.
Salutations du Québec, Anton! :)
That’s the first I heard of Mars getting the Aurora too. Great footage, I wonder how it looked in color?
During the event, in the northeast it was cloudy for a week straight😤
Reminds me of the movie Brother bear 2003. It was one of the most impactfull movies that I have ever watched and the soundtrack was amazing. Since then I wished that I could one day see the Aurora borealis. Mystical beautiful. The magnetic north pole has started moving and its been predicted that soon It will be over Siberia, The south magnetic pole is also moving. If the poles move maybe the aurora would too?
Our mininvan door kept opening by itself 🤷♂️
I saw brighter aurora from Ireland on Nov 7 1991, it was almost uniformly bright green and bright enough to cast shadows, lasted from about 9.30 pm to 2 am (though I was told it got brighter again just before sunrise). The aurora of 2024 was very colourful, but from my location, not as bright. Maybe this is because eye are more sensitive to green is than red.
By coincidence I returned from the gala premiere of the film Uranus 2324, in which a huge coronal mass ejection plays an important part of the story. We shot the movie in March and April, so right before this event took place. In the film the aurora was visible even further South and during the day, so I wonder how far off the chart that storm was meant to be.
I was in an area that should have been able to see the aurora, I live in West Michigan, but unfortunately anytime there's anything that's going to happen in the sky it's usually cloudy here.
The Carrington event is believed to be caused by an X10 flare. The flares that caused the June 24 event were a great deal smaller. So not really comparable.
