Domes & Dashboards GeoMag‑Alert Compatible FAIR + SMART Aligned Layer I · Solar Activity Solar Flares & CMEs The Sun releases bursts of energy called solar flares and larger eruptions of plasma called coronal mass ejections (CMEs) . These events can send charged particles and radiation toward Earth, sometimes disturbing our magnetic field and technology. Flare Classes: A, B, C, M, X — each step is roughly 10× stronger than the last. Civic Signal: Orb brightness or pulse speed increases with flare strength. Story Frame: “The city lights flic...
