Original Note:
Comparing the recent surge in solar activity to the 1859 Carrington Event can be misleading. While the sun's current behavior shows increased activity, it does not rank among the top 50 solar events of the past three decades. https://www.space.com/sun-x-class-solar-flare-may-6-2024-radio-blackouts https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/solar-flares.html https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/top-50-solar-flares.html https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/solar-flares-radio-blackouts https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
