“I’m back bitches!” she says right before a solar storm knocks out all cell service and wifi in the area for a day and a half.

2024 and the Solar Storm Forecast: Should We Brace for Impact?
As the Sun enters its active phase in this 11-year solar cycle, the question on everyone's mind is: Will a major solar storm hit Earth in 2024? The answer, like the fiery ball of plasma at the center of our solar system, is complex and constantly evolving.
The Science Behind Solar Storms:
Our Sun throws a tantrum every now and then. Flares erupt, spewing charged particles known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) into space. These energetic outbursts can travel millions of kilometers, and when they collide with Earth's magnetic field, the consequences can range from dazzling auroras to disruptive geomagnetic storms.
2024: A Year of Increased Activity:
Experts predict the peak of this solar cycle to occur between now and October 2024. This means we can expect more frequent and potentially stronger flares and CMEs compared to recent years. While most of these solar outbursts will miss Earth entirely, the possibility of a direct hit cannot be entirely discounted.
What to Expect if a Solar Storm Hits:
The impact of a solar storm depends on its intensity and trajectory. Minor storms (G1-class) can cause minor disruptions to radio communications and satellite operations. Moderate storms (G2-class) can affect power grids and GPS navigation systems. Large storms (G3-class and above) are rare but can have widespread consequences, disrupting communications, damaging infrastructure, and even triggering blackouts.
Preparing for the Potential Solar Storm:
While predicting the exact timing and strength of a solar storm is difficult, we can take steps to mitigate its potential impact. Power grid operators are implementing strategies to protect from surges, and satellite operators are adjusting orbits to avoid the brunt of CMEs. Individuals can stay informed by following updates from space weather agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and by having backup plans for potential disruptions to communications and technology.

So, will a solar storm hit Earth in 2024? We can't say for sure. But by understanding the science and taking necessary precautions, we can be prepared for whatever our fiery neighbor throws our way. And remember, even if a major storm does make its way, it's not the end of the world. Our planet has endured these celestial tantrums for billions of years, and with a little bit of preparation, we can weather this one too.
Stay informed, stay prepared, and keep looking up – the Sun might just put on a spectacular show, even if it brings a little chaos with it.

Big preview for Solar Auxilia at this year's LVO, and it's not even all the stuff we're expecting to see from them - but the infantry is pretty standout as another solid adaptation of a formerly resin Forge World kit.
And while it's not pictured, apparently the Veletaris do come with an option to build them with power axes.

It was Aurora Borealis all over Friday night, thanks to the severe geomagnetic storms caused by the sun's really active phase (solar maximum). Here are some of my shots from our backyard. First time to see the aurora this further down south.
Notes:
Aurora Borealis, May 10-11, 2024
Devon, UK
Nikon D5600
Tokina 11-16mm
I used incandescent white balance to kick out the ugly glow from light pollution and also to prioritize the cooler colours.
A bit of a timelapse below:
