Abstract

Massive Solar Storms Inflict Little Damage on Earth

Sarah Simpson

Columbia, Missouri, USA

The face of the Sun had been peaceful and blemish-free for much of 2003. But space weather forecasters knew trouble was brewing on 24 October when Jupiter-sized sunspot 486 rotated into full view. Combined with two other unusually large spots, number 486 would kick up the most intense solar activity in 30 years according to several NOAA and NASA officials who were interviewed during the accompanying flurry of media coverage.
