A CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) large enough to cause an EMP would be observable by Every telescope on the daylight side of Earth. Considering the fact just about every available telescope, both professional and amature, capable of observing the upcoming eclipse will be watching the eclipse, it would be all but impossible for anyone to believably claim any connection between the eclipse and an EMP event....Unless a large, and verifiable, CME actually occurs.

But very few telescopes are capable of observing the Sun. You need specially built ones or special filters like for welding but much darker. Pointing a regular telescope at the Sun will cause damage to the instrument and your eyes.

Even looking at the Sun without proper protection except the few minutes of the total eclipse will damage your vision.

There are some solar observation satellites that can see CMEs better than anything on the ground. We will see it coming but when it hits we will go blind form loosing the electronics.

The SOHO telescope has been observing the sun for years from space. If there's something to see, they'll see it and photograph it.

Yes, but are they looking for correlations between various eclipses and/or planetary alignments that have an effect on the sun? If they aren't looking for it, it won't be observed.

What?

lol!!

No.

It is studying the sun. Period.

Many cool discoveries have come as a result.

I'm not sure how to break this to you.

No one cares about your agenda.

No one.

A pony and trap would answer most of the problems with regard to an EMP the average speed of traffic in a city is about the same as a trotting pony.It is the skill levels of the modern man which is woefully inadequate.
