Seems even the sun is getting pissed at us. ;)
Maybe we should have been worshipping the sun all this time.
At least we know it’s real.
X5 category storm. Nothing to sneeze at, but probably not more than fancy lights tomorrow.
The blast triggered strong (R3-level) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe, disrupting high-frequency radio communications on the sunlit side of Earth.
What is included in that? FM Radio? Mobile Broadband? Me-lons sky X thingy?
things that bounce from ionosphere. shortwave radio, AM broadcast, some military communications. couple of radiooperators will take a break for a day or two until space weather gets calm. unlikely that satellites would get fried
if you’re lucky, you might see aurora tomorrow, even if you’re in area that usually doesn’t have them (easier for southern hemisphere)
