Massive internet blackout soon? X-class solar storm to hit Earth after solar flare explosion on Sun

According to space and weather experts, a recent development regarding the appearance of two new sunspots on the Sun has sparked a wave of concern, with the expectation that a global blackout can be hitting the Earth anytime soon.

The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) has recently issued a warning about an upcoming solar storm, which can cause major electricity and signal blackouts soon. This comes as two unstable sunspots are visible on the side of the Sun which is facing the earth.

According to experts, a solar storm sparked by a massive solar flare explosion on Earth can cause electricity and internet blackouts in certain areas, and can also lead to loss of radio and GPS signals in several areas, leading to extreme danger.

The warning issued by NOAA states that there is a high chance of an M-level solar flare eruption and a mild chance of an X-level solar flare eruption. If an X-class solar storm hits the Earth, then the level of devastation can be massive.

It is expected that the solar storm will hit the earth this week itself, likely to cause disruptions over the weekend. In the recent few weeks, Earth has already suffered many solar storm-related blackouts in Pacific areas, causing inconvenience.

Further, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared alarming footage earlier this week, the scientists from the agency detected a piece of the Sun “breaking away” and swirling to form a massive "polar vortex".

As per media reports, a NASA space expert said, “Implications for understanding the Sun's atmospheric dynamics above 55° here cannot be overstated!” This new development of the sun is also one of the reasons why solar storms can hit the Earth soon.

Space experts have revealed that an X-class solar storm can lead to major disruptions, including a near-global internet and electricity blackout, as well as loss of radio, cell phone, and mobile signals in some areas.

It was only a matter of time before global warming finally caused a solar disastrophe

Klimjutt Chainz strikes again. IF ONLY we listened to Algore, all bought EVs, quit using plastic straws, no more styrofoam cups, installed more solar panels and windmills and quit eating meat and switch to delicious crickets.

X1.1 solar flare
Saturday, 11 February 2023 18:59 UTC
https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/487/20230211-x1-1-solar-flare.html

“Today’s headline grabbing event was of course the X1.1 solar flare (X3-strong) from sunspot region 3217. The solar flare however rather impulsive and it is not likely that is launched a coronal mass ejection into space. We are still analysing other events that took place today to see if any of those have a chance to impact our planet. We are nevertheless keeping an eye out for more solar flares as we have a lot of sunspot regions on the disk today with sunspot region 3217 being the most potent of them all. Keep an eye on this place for the latest news and data!”

I dont put it past our compromised Chinese loving goobermint to allow an EMP and blame it on a big solar flare. “It was the suns fault, not the Chinese, oh look here they come with ‘humanitarian aid’, hundreds of thousands of them....”

Please, get your information from a reputable site like spaceweather.com not some indian shitsite. The X-class flare occurred at 9:40AM CST and nobody died, chaos did not ensure, just clicks for some blogger.

How convenient is this in the wake of revelations about multiple ‘balloons’.

I smell ‘rats’...
