I know you could see the aurora all over the place but did it actually cause any damage anywhere?
As far as I’m aware, it caused some temporary GPS interruptions but no permanent damage this time.
I was traveling across the state on those two days, so I was worried about GPS getting weird, but we didn’t have any issues.
From what I read it affected some farming equipment, I figure it was relatively local interference and not a global thing too.
lost mobile data for a pinch but its back now
This came up in my feed.

Apparently it “disrupted” Starlink, but hasn’t permanently destroyed any of their satellites like the CME in 2022 did.
Wish I could have seen it :(

Just gonna put this album here.
edit: Well, I’m surprised this got downvoted considering the entire theme of the album is a CME knocking out telecommunications and computer systems on earth leading to a total collapse of human society. Just a fun thing I came across and was reminded of with all the solar flare memes lately.

Gotta love the censorship in a science community.

I wouldn’t. But it’s censorship, how am I supposed to know since it’s literally censored. There’s no reason listed as to why.
Look at the usernames. They are very concerning
Did not notice that.
I’m one of the Admins who removed that content - it was your average snuff and sexual mutilation spam, if you would like to see more of that kind of thing then the Internet is that way 👉

Thank you admins, for keeping me from haphazardly tapping something I likely couldn’t unsee and would haunt my nightmares. 🙏
Glad there’s people actively keeping Lemmy communities from becoming the wretched corners of the dark web.

Just in case you don’t see my reply to someone else… I missed the usernames entirely. My bad.
