Or the Carrington Event of 1859. This massive solar storm disrupted telegraph communications for several days and created powerful auroras that were visible in the Caribbean and were so bright they awakened gold miners in Colorado, who thought it was morning already. And we are now facing the region of the sun that created this storm, and will face it for the next three years.
What?
The sun rotates once every 27 days (at the equator). Its impossible "face the same region" for years.
Did you hear that on "Coast to Coast"?
