    The starting butterfly effect was that Sergei Korolev didn't die from gastric surgery and or stomach cancer in 1966. It's unclear how he died as his health was failing due to his time as a prisoner in the Gulag camps in the late 30's to 40's. Korolev was largely responsible for most of the Soviet achievements early on. Though in reality it's unlikely that his leadership would have gotten the N-1 to work with all it's faults but that's how the lore has the Soviets make it to the moon. Also for some reason Brezhnev who wasn't a fan of the space program like Kruschev decides to continue spending large sums on it. This is another serious departure from what Brezhnev ended up doing. He was more into building up the military and the soviet nuclear arsenal to match and exceed the US.

    Physicist with a degree in astrophysics as well here - there would not be anything like we saw in the scene - as nothing coming from the Sun can make those patterns. What DOES happen on the far side when the Moon passes through the magnetotail, is dust levitation. Very fine dust haze due to the electrostatic field. It raises into the thin exosphere from the surface of the Moon. But you would NOT get those shapes, waves and what not, especially not those small spikes and large columns in the distance, there is no field or effect that would create them.
    As for the storm itself - 30% of c... that is some monster storm that I don't think that the Sun can even produce. Plus, we saw the mass ejection being perpendicular to the viewing point of Skylab (in orbit around Earth), which means that the Earth would intercept the storm's trajectory in 3 months :) If it was going straight towards Earth, like in the show, we would not see an arch on the side - it would be dead center on the sun's disc.
    That scene was nice to watch but it was scientifically totally incorrect.
    Think of it this way - the Moon was blasted with mass ejections for billions of years. If ANYTHING was able to create such an effect, we'd be seeing those forms and patterns in lunar regolith at least somewhere. But we don't. Because it does not happen that way. With strong storms, it rises a bit like the mist, due to the charge, and falls back down. There are no patterns, spikes, columns, waves and so on.

      Awesome answer. Also noticed the perpendicular shot of the corona mass, but thought: "ok, it's minor, and creative, so I'm fine with it", but when they showed they 'waves', and 'spikes' on the moon I had to stop and look for an answers, thought I'll find it here, but it's just generating more questions. Also the author claims alpha particles are neutral, where they are positively charged in fact. Nice video though, but it's disinformation IMO.

      My non-scientifically educated brain went: Looks cool, fine dust, low gravity, no magnetic field, charged particles. Seems 'plausible enough'. I was sure they took major artistic license here. I just saw that episode a few mins ago and went looking into how far they stretched it. Glad to find your answer here. Also noticed that ejection being wat too big and and fast, and in the wrong direction, that made the whole setup weak but the execution was very dramatic.

      @@polyMATHY_Luke Also the dust on the surface of the Moon is getting positively charged because of the high energy photons (EM radiation) coming from the Sun. So the ion storm from the Sun would magnify the already ongoing effect; from wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect#Moon_dust : "Light from the Sun hitting lunar dust causes it to become positively charged from the photoelectric effect. The charged dust then repels itself and lifts off the surface of the Moon by electrostatic levitation.This manifests itself almost like an "atmosphere of dust", visible as a thin haze and blurring of distant features, and visible as a dim glow after the sun has set. This was first photographed by the Surveyor program probes in the 1960s. It is thought that the smallest particles are repelled kilometers from the surface and that the particles move in "fountains" as they charge and discharge.

Note that the scene takes place near sunrise/sunset when there's most likely to be disturbance. At the poles, electrical breakdown in the icy, shadowed craters could cause visible arcing across the ground. And another phenomenon is visible flashes of Cherenkov radiation in the eyeballs. With >100MeV protons, you might even see those in bright light with eyes open...

    If it looked anything like that then the dust on the moon would be arranged in frozen waves like you see in the sand on a dry riverbed. It would be dropped that way as the flow of particles stopped in the same way the particles of sand in a riverbed are dropped in that pattern when the river slows and dries up. But you don't see those patterns on the moon. It's just flat dust.

      @@kobby2g8 Rare event in human terms and cosmological terms are two completely different things. The moon is billions of years old, and the only significant event contributing to the formation and arrangement of moon dust is impact events. There have been billions of impacts on the moon large enough to kick some dust around, but only a few tens of thousands big enough to change the arrangement of dust over a notable percentage of the moon's surface.
      A storm like the one visually depicted in the show, moving large amounts of dust over the entire sun facing surface of the moon, would have to be rare to within a few orders of magnitude of a once per millions of years event to not leave obvious traces all over the place. The storm being depicted in the show is closer to a once a century event. The depiction simply uses visual elements because it's really hard to communicate the significance of a dangerous event to the general audience if it's completely invisible.

    As a physicist myself I was immediately skeptical - not just of the leaping dust - but about the radiation absorbed doses/rates claimed in the show. So I talked to a fellow astronomer and we napkin calculated, in an unpredecentedly high CME's proton flux, assuming 100% energy conversion and absorption into tissue, the max dose rate is around 0.2 Gy/h. Clearly you don't want to hang out there too much but this is absolute max, add in the modicum of shielding, linear attenuation coefficient and everything else a realistic dose rate even with an extreme CME event is probably 10% of that.
    Compared to this, the show claimed that the exposed astronaut's dosimeter red 200 rem (2 Sv). In ~ 2 and a half hours there is just no way. Also, at that dose he should've been showing typical ARS symptoms which in the show he didn't.
    It really looks like even shows that take as hard-sci-fi approach as possible tend to treat radiation a little less rigorously... I guess it makes for good drama.

    At 1/3 speed of light, it will take the ejection about 25 minutes to hit the moon.

      Yeah, in the show the proton flux also hits Earth conveniently way earlier (I think it's almost a minute) than the Moon, adding to the drama of "get ready for it to hit the Moon next"; which makes no sense since it should be 4 seconds maximum, and the Sun and Moon aren't even at opposition when it takes place.

      Well, even in Moon's gravity, carrying your own weight + the weight of the space suit + another person in space suit must not be a trivial task. The moon EVA suits used to weigh up to 80kgs. Add another 80kgs of the astronaut inside and it's 160 kgs of mass. On the Moon it would amount to 160kgs /6 = ~30kgs. It's feasible to carry them on your back but not that easy for a long walk, I suppose.

And solar waves or not, the hard radiation would still be a death sentence for our astronaut characters. Thanks for addressing this - it bugged me as soon as I saw it!

    If that could happen, I assume it would have happened several times already, isn't there a saying that the footprints of the astronauts would last for thousands of years? that's even the premise of Edward Baldwing writing his son's name onto the Lunar dust, if that happens with any regularity, we wouldn't be seeing features hundreds of thousands of years old still on the surface of the Moon today, right?

    You forgot to mention the point of Divergence for this universe; Sergei Korolev lived, and didn't die on the operating table, and hence was able to keep the snake pit that was any Soviet program working together instead of the individual teams trying to one up each other and otherwise screw their rivals.

      I’m well aware of that point of divergence. I enjoy the show. I wish it focused a bit more on the exploration and technological advancement instead of the interpersonal relationships. I like both of these things, but they need a few more science consultants, since so much of the adventure is in the “how the heck do you land people on Mars?” etc

    AFAIK the "For All Mankind" timeline was created by one single change: Sergei Pawlowitsch Koroljow, the equicalent to Wernher von Braun for the sovjet space program, survived his operation in 1966 and was able to bring the program to sucess.
    But an solar event like this should not have happened, because it did not happen in our timeline. At least I don`t see how earths history could influence a solar event.

      Some parts are good yes (gravity with acceleration etc) but many other plot device science magics are ridiculous e.g. 'Rotating' asteroids and dwarf planets like Ceres to get artificial gravity inside them? Ceres is essentially a pile of gravel, it would become a cloud of gravel at far less than -0.2g or whatever they spun it up to.

    While we are discussing this episode, I was surprised how hard it was portrayed for Molly to carry that other astronaut. From my googling, an average man in a spacesuit should weigh approx. 60 pounds on the Moon, e.g. 27 kg. Which is a weight of an 8-9 y.o. kid. Or one and a half 4-gallon (18.9 L) bottle of water. I think it's a weight of a normal tourist or military backpack, which astronauts should be trained to carry. But in the show it was displayed like she was carrying him at 1G. Did they forget about 1/6G or what? :)

But even that gives a total of 90 lbs or 40.5 kg, which is a tiny girl at 1G :)) I still think it was exaggerated for the show.

      They had computers in the 1970s, just not for the masses. I saw my first microcomputers in 1976-77. We used to go to computer meetings filled with Langley air-force (base) scientists. They were hand wiring their own computers. I still have my husband's collection of tools though he never hand-wired more than a small motherboard. I even have some basic first generation chips.

    I would question the 'lava tubes' concept, as seen in this video, the moon and sun have opposite electrical charges and such lava tubes could be more likely to be the result of electrical discharges in the remote past than the result of volcanic activity. Even lunar craters can also be the result of electrical discharges since the absolute majority has the characteristic of a 90 degree impact, something unlikely to happen with asteroids hitting the moon from random angles.
    Astrophysicists are slowly recognizing the influence of electromagnetism in the universe and some paradigms should be challenged.

    Scientific accuracy is not a reason to watch this show. Even if they did a good job here (which I can’t comment on either way), they’re generally very poor at it. I am enjoying the show. (And I do appreciate any science-fiction that stays within the Solar system.) But I enjoy it in spite of the scientific inaccuracy. It also feels like the alternate history parts aren’t as much about what might have changed if the Soviets landed on the moon first but rather just an excuse to make up any random change they want.

    I have zero interest in science fiction and will not be watching the show so the spoiler alert was unneccessary for me. First of all, a youtuber to youtuber collaboration with Dr Becky Smethhurst (phd astrophysics) is almost guaranteed to end well if you really want to know. I have a science background and a University education and my physics is pretty decent compared to average. Alpha particles are positively charged, but dust is not. The charge from the nucleus is neutralised by the charge from the electron shells surrounding the nucleus. Magnetic pulling is not plausable. Some random movement (weathering) would occur, but dancing waves is suspicious.
