Answer to Question 1

If the field lines of a coronal mass ejection are properly oriented, they can potentially disrupt Earth's magnetosphere, causing widespread communications and power disruptions.

Answer to Question 2

As the two stars orbit each other rapidly, one will approach us, creating a blueshift of its spectral lines, while its retreating companion shows a redshift. The time to go through two splits and recombinations of their lines is their orbital period.
