On Dec. 21st, another solar wind stream will arrive, only this time it will hit Earth directly. The stream is spewing from a coronal hole that straddles the sun's equator, which puts our planet squarely in the "cross hairs." The longest night of the year could be a green one; Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras

Bush's fault.
Women and children hit the hardest.

It’s a coronal hole, not a solar flare.

This, in combination with earth's magnetospheric polarization surprise could be exceptionally bad news for telephones and the North American power grid. Although there should be no direct danger to human life on the surface of the Earth, I for one will be spending the 21st at the bottom of a mine.
To: TaraP
Yep, and I heard that the calender that we use is four years behind actual time(due to calculation errors), meaning that this is the year 2012 and 12/12/2012 is the last day of the Mayan Calender...yikes....
To: TaraP
Some dude on the radio the other night was saying the calender is four years off. Four years too short.
He was implying this coming Sunday is really Dec 21st, 2012
