Awesome!

I’ll had to watch providing the sky is clear.

I thought the sun was supposed to be dying?

Not quite yet.

Are you a suspicious observer? I watch this guy every morning. His room and gloom are much more timely than anyone else on the planet.

At the speed of light it’s just a bit over 8 minutes to the sun.

This guy is all about the sun.

“Are you a suspicious observer? I watch this guy every morning. His room and gloom are much more timely than anyone else on the planet.”

Likewise. Ben Davidson seems to really have his stuff together and I think he has a better handle on how the universe functions (plasma) than most (he’s not just a youtuber).

The article for this thread neglects to clearly state that the the X-class flare from July 5th is not headed toward earth.

NASA’s emerald spiral is cool. I understand the left is looking down on the top of our solar system with the sun in the middle and the earth is the yellow dot to the right. The center is on the horizontal axis with the sun to the left, and I haven’t figured out the right image. (X, Y and Z axis to translate 3 dimensions onto a flat image.) Just can’t quite visualize it yet. So glad that there are a lot of other directions besides straight at earth that these things can go. But one of these days, Alice. One of these days, POW! Right in the kisser!

Can’t figure out how to post it so here is a link.

It looks like the main impact would have made it to earth well within 48 hours.

I know 8 minutes speed of light from sun. And thats the speed of the knowing of a flare. I believe the gamma and other rays are slower.

We are Ants, yet the Left thinks we can control the Climate.

The fact that the Earth even exists and supports Life is a Miracle that God Almighty bestowed upon us, yet a majority of Humanity has no appreciation for the Gift that was given them.

His latest textbook has a chapter dedicated to space weather and human physiological response. Grandpa’s trick knee really is a thing just like the ‘crazy’ elephants in India trying to get away from the new North pole. Seriously considering making a purchase. He is only a few hundred miles away over by CO Spgs. I should drop in for a chat.

That was my initial gut chuckle when seeing this article. It was at least a day late in warning all of us that we were all gonna die.

RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

And remember. That glowing ball of energy has nothing to do with earth’s climate.

Outstanding. I hate this crappy tablet and should get a better one.

Looks more like about a 3 maybe 4 day time dwell on the main impact. More time to panic!

I'm still licking my wounds from the Great Sun Flare of 2017.

I hope this one was not quite as bad as that!

Do we go around the Sun clockwise or counterclockwise?..............

You should. Maybe buy a lot in his Observer Ranch.

I have his First and Second edition text books. Still working my way through the 2nd edition. There’s a lot of education there. Considering purchase of his Next End of the World book, too, just haven’t made the commitment.
