Luckily for us on earth, this one was not pointing our way. According to scientists, this CME was one of the most massive ever observed. If it had hit the earth, it would have severely² damaged communication networks and power grids³ all over the globe. They estimate the damages would have been over 2.6 trillion dollars. To put it in perspective, that is ten times more costly⁴ than the Fukushima disaster, the most expensive disaster in history.

 

The last time the earth was hit by a similar CME was in the mid-19th century. People said that the night skies were so lit up by solar radiation it was as bright as daylight.
