Sun’s Magnetic Field is About to Flip, and There’s a Problem

So, what will the upcoming solar maximum do to our planet in the coming months? What are the anomalies in this solar cycle that NASA is concerned about? Finally, and most importantly, will the upcoming phase of the Sun's activity risk the life of the astronauts of the Artemis mission on the Moon?

Has anyone else noticed that, when science programs refer to the Aurora, they only talk about the 'northern lights?' No one ever brings up the 'Aurora Australis' which is what it's called in the southern hemisphere. It has the same properties and it's just as bright as the Aurora Borealis.

If it happens there's nothing we can do about it ! So just keep living !
-
We all die one day, and the cycle begins again, those who come and go peacefully are blessed
-
I live in Australia, the beautiful lights are on now!! For a few years now we are able to see the lights across to Perth, Melbourne, New Zealand, and very much so in Tasmania. How awesome is that ❤❤

Enjoy the moment it’s really all you have.
-
The thing nobody ever mentions on these solar flare sites is that when the Carrington Effect happened, it was during solar MINIMUM! It wasn't even expected.
-
The internet getting knocked out will be a delight
-
THIS HAPPENS EVERY 11 YEARS, CHILL OUT.

You're missing a few factors when thinking about your climate conclusions at the end... The magnetosphere strength is also decreasing and this has been accelerating in the past decades along with the wandering of the magnet poles...
-
So low solar activity causes cooler than “normal” temps, but increased solar activity appears to cause a slight increase in temp until the governments of the world declare it doesnt. Good to know.
-
The internet is causing us to hate each other, it going out would be the best thing to happen to us since the internet...
-
The sun cycles every eleven years. Why do people keep trying to make ordinary nature into an extraordinary disaster?
-
Out of all of your videos, this one had my attention 200% from start to finish! I find it interesting that there was several X class flares back to back in February, and the one of Feb. 21, right before the AT&T Cell outage. Last I heard, they said something software related caused it, yet now I'm skeptical knowing we had 3 back to back solar flares just before this occurred. It amazes me just how much we disregard the effect the sun has on us each day. Not just from being able to see, but from wind, weather, to the magnetic field of Earth and even technology.

This just proves that we should have free energy; free electricity.

"This kind of solar activity coincided with the Little Ice Age..." Be very careful - the Maunder Minimum lasted about 70 years (1645 - 1715); the Little Ice Age lasted about 600 years, from the late 1200s to the mid/late 1800s. Saying the Maunder Minimum "coincided" is a big stretch, implying a direct connection between the two. By your logic, the Dalton Minimum also coincided with the LIA. The only interesting coincidence may be that the Maunder Minimum may have covered the period when the LIA temperatures had bottomed out, and Earth started getting warmer again.

The lives of Artemis astronauts is negligible compared to the effect on civilization if another Carrington Event happens before the power grid is protected.
-
Nothing we can do, too early to immigrate to other planets. Worrying about what you can’t control only brings misery and un needed anxiety.the world’s governments won’t give us a warning until they are hiding in a bunker. So just live life and find the beauty in it.

No telephones and internet... everybody under the age of 25 would have a complete meltdown in ball up in the fetal position ! Old-Timers like me would get up and go to work ! Lol
-
If its an 11-year solar cycle then this is not the first time it has happened in our lives... NOT A PROBLEM...
-
This could be far more serious then the Carrington effect. This time our planet is suffering from substantially decreased magnetic field and that the earths magnetic reversal is in effect along with a galaxy wide galactic magnetic inversion. With all of these by them selves may be predictable, however the unknown effect of all these at once has never happened in recorded history. That is at least not having the science to know that these things where actually happening together in the past to report such an event.
