A Massive Solar Eruption, the Strongest in 7 Years, Has Earth Bracing for a Radiation Storm

What's with the creepy audio with the video? Kind of doesn't fit.

Anyway, neat pictures!

....and so 12/21/12 came and the earth saw many wonders. things such as flares shooting out of a massive star that lasts for 12 billion years. aliens came and went on their on discord. the moon become shattered from the mining that brought forth many hidden treasures left by our ancestors from the heaven(monolith)Our galaxy aligned and brought forth super human powers for every individual on the planets. captain planet helped us fight off the reptilians that controlled the world and gave power to the Illuminati. the ps4 give us the power to control peoples minds. the NWO took control and gave power to the antichrist. soon after an asteroid ravaged the earth and decimated what was left of the moon. it was thought that the reptilians put it on a trajectory with mother earth. we had allies(the greys) they lived within our society and most had no idea. the took the human form. there was a time where cloning pets was a fad but soon people decided to clone relatives from there past
and so walt disney was reborn and was give the ability to take to the heavens. soon after the lost city of Atlantis was remade and set in the middle of Jerusalem. soon scientist managed to make apes more human. they took humans as their slaves and mated with the reptilians and formed an alliance with the Atlantians. and soon a time machine was built by the humans with the help of a renegade group of cyborgs that escapes imprisonment. there had been a war between the cyborgs and the apes. the wars where fought over the humans. so them most left the earth in search of a mother planet for the cyborgs. and made it to caprica were they lived happily ever after..

@jedimindset

the fuck you talkin bout????!!!!!!

Ok Ok Ok, the music to this video was definitely planned and here is the emotion that evokes to me. It is sinister, menacing, and devilish provoking. It is put on top of the video as if it belongs there.

The very simple fact our dear SUN is a Star and is doing naturally what it has been doing forever and in past cultures considered it to be a god and bringer of life.

Scientifically for little old planet Earth, yes it brings us life; we cannot live without it.

The music force upon us on this video is just bias and stupid.
.....................................

Moving past the drama effect, it is so cool to see the sun in such detail and I adore the science of it all and we on Earth get a warning of the potential electrical effect it is about to come. So we can if need just turn off our sensitive electrical devices or just prepare for its impact and carry on.

Visually, the video is great!

OH GOD A SOLAR FLARE! oh wait they have been happening for millions of years and we are still here. I love the crazy posts about all this 2012 crap. This is just like Y2k, all the nut cases will freak out, us normal folk can laugh at them, then 10 years from now we will all be like "hey remember those idiots who got all freaked out over 2012." Just like we do now in reference to all those crazies that bought generators and bags of rice in 1999.

lapinski, something to think about while we have been around for a while and so have solar flares, our technology hasn't withstood the test of time. it is insanely possible that the right solar flare could regress our progress to where we are back in the industrial age again for a good amount of time.

which would be kicken, girls in corsets really gets me.

but anyways, if you want to have the worlds most glorified calculator when all this blows over all you have to do is modify your computer power cord so that it is missing it's hot and neutral prongs, leaving the ground pin. provided your computer case is made out of a metal and for the most part covers everything then you should have a very simple faraday cage.

unless you use laptops, but in that case you deserve to lose your computer.

to mars or bust!

plz give us a high res copy..

@jedimindset You should get paid for that comment.
I think you pist off most of the worlds population.

Look up the Carrington Event. That would be the worst case scenario here, and it would be far more devastating now than it was back in 1859. Most of the damage is going to come from unregulated surges in power line, and if the power grids are designed the way they should, every substation and household breaker is going to flip, hopefully before too much bleeds through to cause damage. The result will be that many people will be without power for 12-24 hours until the flare has dissipated, and then however long it takes to reset all the breakers, and maybe bring generators back
on-line.

The time to buy food and water is before the cash registers dont work anymore. Your toilets and water faucets wont work either after a while. Dont worry about driving because stop lights wont work and no one will be able to call the police to tell them there was an accident right in front of you.

At least, if it gets bad thats what happens. It happens in an instant and we havent seen flares like these in modern history very often. There was one that shut down the canadian power grid but nobody cares about canada so it never became that popular of a story.

The radiation is ionizing and can cause mutations in DNA but, they wont tell you that. The astronauts up there are far from safe and I wouldnt be suprised if they cant go up again due to heavy radiation dose. Hopefully I am wrong. One of those times I hope Im wrong. The energies involved here are amazing. They also dont seem to be talking about how long this hole was spewing directly at us. The severity of the CME was only M class but the length it was flaring was a long time. I wonder if that factors into the "Classification" or if its just based on the initial CME intensity. The radiation cloud coming at us is pretty amazing.

@solarflare,

im talking about what is to come. this is a prophetic vision i had the other day. its not exact but close to what might happen in the future.

Ghost,
Mars has almost no atmosphere or magnetic field. There is nothing to shield one from ordinary solar radiation, much less a CME.
Jedi,
You completely forgot the berserkers and the Kzinti. Beserkers are sheilded from EMP and would not be damaged by that part of a flare. They might kill off the Kzinti though, so we wouldn't have to worry about being eaten.

I for one think Jedi's post was awesome. Mostly for its hilarity. Though, if Jedi actually meant any word of his post, well... that would be even more hillarious.

+1 Jedi.

D13, It turns out, a big part of the U.S. energy grid comes from, well, Canada. If another massive solar flare shut down the east coast of Canada, you can expect the U.S. east coast would be shut down too.

I don't know about your toilets, but personally, I don't plug mine into an electrical outlet. Pretty sure my toilet will be working just fine in a power outage.

If traffic lights stop working, that may be a problem for massive city centres with 16 lanes of traffic, but otherwise, a large percentage of the world doesn't actually use street lights at all. Check out traffic in parts (most?) of India. It's bat-crazy there, but folks still drive -- without street lights.

"We haven't seen flares like these in modern history."

I defy you to back that statement up. The significance of the 1989 solar flare that dropped Canadian power wasn't just its size (it was large, but that's only one part of the story), it's that it was directed *right* at us. We were dead centre on the bullseye.

But solar flares of that magnitude? Common occurance, occuring on 12-year cycles (with 2012/2013 being right at the apex of that cycle). Still, they've happened before, and will happen again. The vast majority are not aimed at Earth.

The primary risk to humans will be potential loss of power such as the 1989 event, and loss of satelites. Both are likely only temporary disturbances (the sattelites, however, are harder and more expensive to repair, obviously).

These risks will also exist long after 2012/2013.

@JediMindset
... and I thought that I could write SciFi at

but you are the bomb - the ultimate Jedi! LOL.

@jonathanobikpo

thanks but that was not sifi my friend. it was a vision i had of the future. maybe it has to do with the fact that i was born on the same date that the great prophet Nostradamus.....but yeah i shall give your blog a view. there might be truths in their.

Dear JediMindset,
Did you mother continue to use vinegar after she became pregnant with you. Why? Your mind is pickled sir!

Oh, no disrespect to your mom, sir!
Moms are the best humans on Earth! ;)

LMAO. they never used vinger in the first place. i for one drink vinger on a daily bases. and bathe in it. i eat about 20 jars of pickles a day. YUM YUM!!!!
