Didn't a Carrington-like event just occur
editPerhaps what I heard (from YouTube) was blown way out of proportion, but supposedly on March 13 2023 a Coronal Mass Ejection as powerful as the Carrington Event just occurred on the other side of the sun. Why don't I see it listed? In reality, was it not that big? (EDIT: Actually it might have been March 15th.) 50.39.216.120 (talk) 06:31, 19 March 2023 (UTC) Caston
- Thanks for bringing this to our attention. There was a powerful far-side CME on the 13th which I believe is what you are referring to.[1] It is not yet listed simply because no one has manually added it. Whether or not past events have been notable enough to be listed has to my knowledge been fairly arbitrary, as there are no specific notability guidelines for space weather events at the moment. (They are in the scope of WP:WikiProject Weather, so guidelines should be added to WP:Notability (weather). I plan to work on this soon.) So for now, if the event has received adequate WP:COVERAGE from WP:Reliable sources, its inclusion may be warranted. CoronalMassAffection (talk) 16:16, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Solar Storm Could Strike Earth on August 20, 2020
editSpace weather experts at NASA and NOAA are warning that a solar storm could strike Earth on Thursday or Friday; in addition to triggering aurora far from the poles, a strong solar storm could also disrupt electrical generation systems, the electric grid, satellite communications, and radio signals.

Formatting & Data rep change
editArguments made here make it clear that a "days" resolution for solar events is futile. With most events running about 3 revolutions of the earth, and having actually occurred (at the surface of the sun) a revolution or more before that, the dates here are more often just drawn from published reports of recorded events, often from media which are less-than-days resolution themselves such as newspaper reports.
With that in mind, I reduced the resolution to month-year, which also solves a "clutter" problem with some people recording "Jul NNNN" and others "15-18 September nnnn".
Undo if you MUST, but please consider the AVERAGE READER, not your contribution or my edit. :)
Miyake Events
editRegarding the "Proxy evidence" events, it appears these are now being referred to as "Miyake events" https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspa.2022.0497#RSPA20220497C16 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:D99D:1C7:3D3B:A9A8 (talk) 11:23, 26 October 2022 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
- The 774–775 carbon-14 spike is sometimes called the 'Miyake Event', as stated in the article, after Fusa Miyake, who first pointed out the evidence for it. The article you cite uses the term in a broader sense, for any sharp rises in C14 in tree rings. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:47, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
