At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sky was red for nine consecutive days. What happened?
270 years ago was the last year of the Ming Dynasty. One day, the sky suddenly turned red, and a strong red band covered the sky, making the sky and the ground as red as the end of the world. This scene lasted for 9 days.

At that time, people had no scientific concept, and naturally they didn't know what this scene was like, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was not a good thing to have such a doomsday scene. In addition, ordinary people were superstitious at that time, and suddenly a vision came down from the sky, thinking that it might be necessary to change the dynasty, which made people panic. Nine days later, the illusion disappeared and the world returned to its previous appearance. People's lives seem to have no influence, and they are slowly forgotten.

This astronomical event in the late Ming Dynasty was actually due to the strong solar storm, which formed a strong magnetic storm phenomenon. Its cause is a natural phenomenon caused by a strong collision with the non-polar magnetic field of the earth when the solar storm is particularly strong. Although people didn't know what it was at that time, they still recorded this extraordinary event. Otherwise, we don't know that there was such a strong solar storm in the late Ming Dynasty.

There was also a magnetic storm in modern times, that is, the carrington event of 1859, which was also a sensational solar storm, but compared with the magnetic storm that lasted for nine days in China in the late Ming Dynasty, it was simply nine Niu Yi hairs.

This solar storm happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and its intensity is rare in history, which can cause such a strong magnetic storm phenomenon, and it lasted for 9 days, which shows how intense the sunspot activity was at that time. This is also an unusual solar storm, a manifestation of the sun's unusual fury on Xiong Haizi.

The strong solar storm at the end of the Ming Dynasty did not have much impact on human life at that time, because there were no electronic technology products at that time, and the main damage of the solar storm was electronic products. In the absence of electronic objects, no matter how strong, it will not have much impact on us. But if such a solar storm happened in modern times, it would be bad.

First of all, those satellites in the earth orbit are estimated to be scrapped, and the electronic products on the earth will also suffer serious losses. As long as most electronic products are used normally, they may be affected by solar storms and cannot be used, or directly destroy internal circuits and become waste products. According to scientists' estimation, if a solar storm like the late Ming Dynasty occurred in modern times, the global loss is estimated to be above 10 trillion, which is only a conservative estimate, and the real loss may be even greater.

Many people may be glad that such a strong solar storm did not happen in modern times, but scientists are not so optimistic. According to scientists' investigation and study, solar storms will break out once every 100 years or so, with different intensities. It was extremely strong at the end of the Ming dynasty and will happen again in the future. No one can guarantee that solar storms like those in the late Ming Dynasty will not happen again. Therefore, scientists remind people to be alert to the recurrence of solar storms.

Although we can't change the outbreak of solar storms, we can protect the earth from solar storms through scientific and technological means. It is believed that with the rapid development of science and technology, technologies that can completely resist solar storms will be developed in the future. At that time, even if there is a solar storm like that in the late Ming Dynasty, we don't have to worry, and we can also enjoy and photograph the beautiful sky scene caused by the magnetic storm.
