However, after you stop looking at the light source, the rods should become normal after some time.

It sounds like your son may have experienced this while he looked at the sun. Space X launched its satellite between the two storms, resulting in the utter frying of a large portion of its fleet. While the tiny portion is detached, we become 'blinded' by the light. I have the proper eye protection for the eclipse today, but I did look directly at the sun really quickly for 1-2 seconds without any. Now I'm not one to prove a point, but I know that's false. I had a buddy tell me that if you looked at the sun for 1-2 seconds you would go blind. Chinese women are turning to the sun as a replacement for food. Two relatively weak flares had occurred a few days earlier, in January, on opposite sides of the sun, causing one geomagnetic storm after another. I know that looking at the sun is bad (let me start with that). Search: Does Staring At A Computer Screen Damage Eyesight. The women who stare at the SUN to lose weight: Worrying new 'health' fad convinces Chinese women that sunlight can replace food. 3 when the sun was already showing flaring activities. Unfortunately, because most of our technology is electronic, these geomagnetic storms cause currents that can burn out transformers, satellites and knock our communication abilities.

Luckily, Earth’s magnetic field protects us from most of it, absorbing the worst of the blow, in what we call geomagnetic storms. We’re approaching that rapidly, with our telescopes currently witnessing about one large flare a day!Ĭrossing the void of interplanetary space, the dangerous radiation from these flares takes little time to reach Earth. We are currently heading to a new maximum of activity, which should be reached about three years from now, and in that maximum we expect two or three flares per day. It’s in the maximum period that solar storms and auroras are more likely to occur. The sun’s magnetic field changes over a period of 11 years, meaning the sun oscillates in activity from a minimum to a maximum.
