Scientists Connect Sub-extreme Solar Outbursts to Tree Rings via Poetry
As we make our way through the latest solar maximum period, scholars and scientists are looking to similar events in the past to learn more about ancient bouts of solar activity. In particular, they want to know more about solar proton events (SPEs). These outbursts of high-energy particles get triggered by flares and coronal mass ejections.
Researchers have been studying past solar events to better understand subextreme solar flares and their impacts. These flares, while less intense than extreme ones, can have significant effects on Earth. A recent study connecting medieval poetic records and tree rings provides new insights into solar activity and its consequences. Solar Flares and Their Effects Solar flares are bursts of radiation and charged particles that can affect space weat…
