Balanced News: Ancient Tree Rings Provide Evidence Of An Ancient Solar Storm, Something That May Help Scientists

Scientists have discovered evidence of the largest solar storm ever to hit Earth hidden within ancient tree trunks. The research, which examined tree rings from the French Alps, found a significant increase in radiocarbon levels, indicating occasional bursts of activity known as Miyake Events. If a solar storm of similar magnitude were to occur today, it could cause widespread disruptions in global technology and infrastructure. The discovery highlights the need to understand and predict these events in order to protect the Earth from their potentially catastrophic effects.
