Sun continues firing significant solar flares, Earth’s GPS signals disruption and power grid...
Insider Paper ^ | 11/4/2021 | Brendan Byrne

The Sun has fired several rounds of solar flares since last week, all of which have the potential to cause power grid fluctuations and irregularities in satellite orientation on Earth, according to media reports.

Since November 1, the Sun has produced three of the outbursts known to scientists as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), according to Space.com.

A CME is a massive eruption of solar particles caused by intense flares from the Sun aimed directly at Earth.

CMEs are globs of gas and magnetic fields that are ejected into space by sunspots, which are knots in the Sun’s magnetic field. Two of these outbursts were caused by the sunspot AR2887 on November 1 and 2. Later that day, on November 2, a second sunspot called AR2891 also produced a CME.

According to SpaceWeather.com monitors, the third outburst, dubbed “cannibal,” is moving faster than its two predecessors, and it swept through all of one previous CME and a portion of the other.

All three CMEs have been pointing in the direction of Earth, and scientists predict that the resulting large CME will arrive and cause geomagnetic storms to begin on Thursday, according to the report.

Our Sun is crying out in pain from the damage we’ve done to it. We just take, take, take, and give back nothing.

Nope, not going very far south...

I went out from 10:30 pm to 12:00 am a few days ago for the last solar eruption, but nothing. This one doesn't look anywhere near as good as the last one.

All solar flares that ignore the vaccine mandate will be fired by the Sun.

“Sun continues firing significant solar flares....”

It’s that dang ol climate change at it again. Guess we need to depopulate even more of those pesky huumons.
