Watts Up With That?

Catastrophic and Frightening Solar Storms: Miyake Events

December 16, 2023

Excerpt:

An X (formerly Twitter) thread by Erika @ExploreCosmos_

Quote:About 1300 years ago, an unexplained cosmic storm hit our planet. It left its imprints in the tree rings across the globe and the ice cores of Antarctica. Then, after 200 years, the event repeated, but this time it was 60% as strong. 1/#Thread #SpaceWeather pic.twitter.com/drdvXl6hoI

About 1300 years ago, an unexplained cosmic storm hit our planet. It left its imprints in the tree rings across the globe and the ice cores of Antarctica. Then, after 200 years, the event repeated, but this time it was 60% as strong. 1/ #Thread #SpaceWeather

=================

A new solar phenomenon shows up to generate a new line of research, but it could be a bunch of baloney too as the comment below from the article suggests:

Rud Istvan, LINK

I am a cautious person. Had not heard of Miyake events. So researched before commenting.
Occur when a very high flux of high energy galactic or solar cosmic rays (traveling near the speed of light) interact with stratospheric nitrogen to produce free thermal neutrons who then attach to C12 or C13 to produce C14.
A good technical source is Nature’s Science Reports 11/19/2019, “Radiocarbon Production Events.”
But the X commenters claim that Miyake events are much stronger Carrington events is almost certainly wrong. Carrrington in 1859 was a solar CME (NOT comprising mostly cosmic rays) that created a geomagnetic storm. It produced NO uptick in C14, per the above cited paper that specifically investigated 1859 tree rings looking for elevated C14.

So we can relax. If a Carrington like CME occurs, the solar observatory satellites will give Earth about 24 hour notice, and we just unplug stuff.

Leave it to Rud to look at this realistically...
