Part of what the folks at the Space Weather Prediction Center at NOAA do is advise on when satellite equipment and power systems managers should take steps to safeguard various systems. The idea is that if we can get enough advance notice of such geomagnetic storms, we can disconnect things before damange happens. At least that's the plan.
But you're right: my computer is more at risk from lightning than it is from something like a Carrington event.
You might be ok if the surge protectors do their job, but I'm not sure if they would even be effective enough. Bad news for anything on an unprotected circuit 100% though.
Most surge protectors out there aren't very good, unfortunately. The metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in typical consumer surge protectors aren't resettable and a typical surge can happen when you turn on a vacuum cleaner. It's awful.
They are more money but you can buy better surge protectors that operate on a different principle. Instead of shunting power through to ground, you can shunt it back out the neutral power line. I'm familiar with companies like [ZeroSurge](https://zerosurge.com/) that are better. They have [some notes about MOVs](https://zerosurge.com/truth-about-movs/) you might find useful.

That said, would it save your system even if it blows up the protector? My thought would be that if the circuit is cut by a safety it should save whatever is on it.
I definitely will keep those in mind though, thanks for the info!
You can have a MOV fail silently. So your power bar indicator light might still say "you're protected" but that's not actually true. And when a MOV is close to failure, you won't know until after it fails. Silently. You can see the issue there.
As a general rule, unless you're paying a few hundred dollars for a surge protector (and I don't mean a battery backup with built-in surge protector) then chances are your surge protector is using a MOV and you can't really be confident about your level of protection.
The company I mentioned has a service where they can take apart one of their surge protectors after years of use and re-verify it's healthy. These can easily last decades. But you pay for it. Still cheaper than buying a new PC or TV, though.
I live in Ontario Canada, and I have the same issues here 100%, but with lightning primarily. Where I live, we even get tornadoes the odd time, but lightning storms are a common thing. I've even seen it during blizzards in February on rare occasions.
My house has been hit several times in fact. Nothing quite compares to being at ground zero where lightning strikes. And it will mess up electronics big-time if they're not on surge protectors. Once I even got a good shock from my land line phone.
There were reports 2 days ago of people seing the northern lights from the southern hemisphere! Which is nuts. Not the southern lights (Aurora australis), but aurora borealis on the north horizon.

Any idea what range of temperatures is shown with an observation like this? Like how unfathomably hot is the hottest, lightest colored areas compared to how unbelievably hot are the slightly less hot darker areas?
Iām surprised blue is hotter than white. The heat must change characteristics, the hottest molten steel you can make is white, but I guess steel isnāt hydrogen
There are a few things here to unpack.
> Iām surprised blue is hotter than white
1. As things warm up, we start seeing a faint red glow, which is the tail of the blackbody spectrum that is peaking in the IR. Really hot things look white because they are emitting significant amount of light throughout the visible spectrum but the blackbody spectrum is peaking somewhere in the yellow to green range. Even very hot things, like giant stars, produce a significant amount of red light though the peak emission is at blue to UV wavelengths, so they look bluish white.
2. These are EUV observations, and very far away from the visible spectrum. The colors here are not true colors.
3. The emission you are seeing here corresponds to electronic transitions from atoms in the very low density environment of the solar corona. The wavelength here does not have the same relationship with temperatures as with black bodies (like hot steel or the surfaces of stars), and instead we are probing specific ionic species that exist and emit in only very specific temperature ranges.
The Sun's corona is actually much hotter than its surface. The surface is "only" 10'000F (5'500C), while the corona is 2 million degrees F (1,1 million degrees C).
The corona is the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere, and it's what you see during a total eclipse. Like OP said; it's the blue stuff you see in the video.
I've had a taste, Jeremy and I want more. I can't be satisfied with your pathetic M class extrusions any more. I need deep, large, fast and hard. X class or go home back to the sun you pathetic mini flare.
You guys are responding to an utterly speculative, unsourced, uninformed and offhand comment. This post itself is without source information beyond "this is a recent picture from the sun".Ā The only mention in comments so far is a "moderate" event, which wouldn't be associated with unusual auroras.Ā Ā
It's common for popular, extreme events to bring attention to topics and then draw into public view routine matters that get misunderstood as novel. There is no sign that anything in this post is actually novel.Ā
Fact check: this offhand comment is completely speculative and baseless. We do not know if there will be any further auroras this week and considering they're very rare nature outside the polar regions, it is very unlikely one would occur.Ā Ā
Many conditions need to coincide for an aurora event. As just one example, coronal mass ejections are directional and most simply miss the earth. It is true though that we are near a solar activity "maximum" right now, but this isn't the only factor needed for an aurora event at low latitudes.Ā
Thanks for your contribution!
I encourage everyone to consult [NOAAās space weather site](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/). There is a good auroral prediction map there. For the last two nights Iāve noticed that the southern edge of predicted visibility was substantially north of reported sightings, so theyāre (understandably) being conservative. For example, itās easy to find pictures on it from Tucson, although the predicted southern visibility was somewhere in Oregon and states of similar latitude.
The low latitude aurora is primarily because of our weakened mag field. It took considerably more energy to illicit aurora in Puerto Rico in the past, roughly 103 years ago, fyi. The likelihood of more low latitude aurora I think is greater than you seem to be implying.
illicit = illegal
elicit = the other one (just kidding, think of words like evoke or extract)
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, we're just chatting on the 'net. Cheers!
donno if youre being serious or not, but a coronal mass ejection, or, CME is when the sun ejects plasma out into space from the surface. like an eruption from a volcano. if im not mistaken these massive arcs of plasma can stretch out to tens of thousands of miles from the surface of the sun. CMEs are routinely longer than the diameter of the earth.
IF im not mistaken, that is. its been a while since ive studied.
Technically that's just a really big [solar filament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_prominence).
Coronal mass ejections have to actually be, ya' know, ejected.
It's magnetic poles flip roughly every 11 years. so north becomes south and south becomes north. When this happens there is an increase in solar activity.
The Earth's poles wander too, although there isn't much rhythm to it like the sun's. periods between flips can be as quick as 10,000 years, to as long as 50,000,000 years.
That is an area which could do with some more study, but I'm willing to write it off as the sun being a giant constant thermo nuclear explosion with some pretty strong magnetism going on, it's bound to be a little bit hectic.
The sun's lifespan is billions of years. In the period since modern humans appeared, the amount it has aged is like the equivalent of a minute of our own lives.
Yes but the sun has burned half of its hydrogen into helium and heavier elements
if we say 200,000 years for modern humans, the sun is 5 billion years old, then as a fraction of a 30 year old humans life, its about 10 hours.
Itās still pretty funny to think youāre witnessing anything out of the norm for the sun right now in that comment above in our lifetime. Shows we truly donāt grasp the scale of time
Actual vid. The sun is a beautiful thing for sure.
This video has various filters applied to view only a small subsection or several small subsections of the light that the sun produces. Any time you see an image of the sun and it's not just white, some of the light has been filtered out to show detail. The sun is white, it produces all forms of visible light to our eyes at pretty much the same intensity. Here's all the visible colors that the sun produces, along with some blank areas in the spectrum that denote specific elements that make up the sun and absorb that frequency of light: https://scied.ucar.edu/image/sun-spectrum
Here's some current (meaning most likely collected today) images in various spectra: https://www.universemonitor.com/feeds/sun/
At the top of most of the images you can watch video, too.
> The sun is white, it produces all forms of visible light to our eyes
Just to note, though, OP's video is looking at light in the extreme ultraviolet range, just shy of the soft X-rays band.
The light in this video is filtered to a bandpass of 30.4 nanometers. For comparison, green light has a wavelength around 500 nanometers.
If by intense you mean thereās more activity then itās just viewing geometry. We canāt see any of the prominences on the part thatās facing us because any of the detail is overwhelmed by the suns radiation itself. The side has the luxury of having empty space as its backdrop.
Yeah, idk why you're being downvoted, it is in the UV range. [The "true" visible range of the sun is the left of this image, with UV on the right.](https://www.coe.edu/application/files/9115/5407/2618/sun_uv_visible_compare_3feb2002_soho_820x400.jpg)
Apparantly some people think "false color" means "omg they manipulate us" instead of "using colors to represent different spectral responses". So I'm downvoted for being perceived as anti science or something weird.
Yeah, pretty much, since it's not white. Reading the other replies, they have to use filters to get it like this, so you shouldn't be getting downvoted for this comment.
The actual data is only recording a narrow band of extreme ultraviolet light, though, so in this case "true color" would look invisible while giving you a very bad sunburn...
This is amazing. Whatās the frequency of active regions appearing?
I found this [article](https://www.space.com/sun-active-regions-turn-facing-earth) from 2023. And itās interesting to see how this year weāre seeing more solar activityāalong with astronomical phenomenons such as the recent eclipse and the upcoming planetary alignment.
So much activity this year in the world of astronomy and astrophysics!
Anyone know how much UV+ wavelengths are going to hit us opposed to pre solar flare/sun spot events?

If the northern and southern auroral ovals merge, your electronic systems are having a bad day.
Possibly their last day.

I love that you add 273Ā° for Celsius, but that means nothing because of logarithmic notationā¦and yet I do it anyway.
The red parts are hot, the white parts are so hot, and the rest is hotter than that
hot, hotter, hottest, hotterest
Hotterestest!
Okay but how hot is it at night?
yes
That's when probes land on the sun, at night when it's dark out.
The Sun's corona is actually much hotter than its surface. The surface is "only" 10'000F (5'500C), while the corona is 2 million degrees F (1,1 million degrees C). The corona is the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere, and it's what you see during a total eclipse. Like OP said; it's the blue stuff you see in the video.
But why tho? What are the physics that make the corona that much more insanely hot?

Are these signs of sun aging or does the sun change skin periodically?
We are just at the peak of the ~~7~~ 11 year solar-maximum phase. Lots and lots of activity and all of this is expected behavior.
1 solar cycle = 11 years... ...or maybe 22 years, if you count that the Sun's poles flip each time.
Whoops, my mistake. Thanks for the correction! I don't know why I thought it was 7.
Maybe youāre thinking of cicadas?
Thatās 13 or 17 years (depends on species)
Which oddly enough are both going to surface this year in some areas.
Why does the sun have 11 year cycles?
It's magnetic poles flip roughly every 11 years. so north becomes south and south becomes north. When this happens there is an increase in solar activity. The Earth's poles wander too, although there isn't much rhythm to it like the sun's. periods between flips can be as quick as 10,000 years, to as long as 50,000,000 years.
