This kills all the satellites in our orbit as well? Satellites are already vulnerable to solar events and magnetic anomalies like SAA.

In additional to everything on Earth being wiped out would this would create a mini Kessler Syndrome since all satellites are now space junk which we will never be able to communicate with again?

We can move all satellites to the dark side of Earth.

We can move a little less than half of all satellites to the dark side of earth.

If we would just 'move' our natural satellite to the bright side of earth, we could shield a part of earth.

What are the odds of having a (total) solar eclipse during a CME coming straight to earth? astronomically small for sure.
