Leading space science expert predicts a 'direct hit' on Earth from a solar storm

It has been a busy time for solar activity. Back in March of 2022, Earth was hit by separate geomagnetic storms, according to government weather agencies in the U.S. and the U.K.

Though the geomagnetic storms likely didn't cause any harm, they brought into focus the potential harm that could come from more powerful storms in the future.

Then earlier this month, a G1-class geomagnetic storm hit the Earth, causing bright auroras over Canada. The only problem is that nobody saw this storm coming until it was quite late.

Five days ago, a giant sunspot and filaments on the solar surface had astronomers worried about possible Earth-directed solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that could lead to blackouts.

Finally, on Friday, it was reported that a massive solar flare had erupted from the Sun, which could see radio blackouts in many parts of the world.

Do I need my umbrella?

Just so we don’t have another Carrington Event. That on top of everything Biden has done would just really take the cake.

Nobody saw it coming because they were busy keeping up with the Cheney and Kinzi J6 Show.

This time it would be a catastrophe.

You won’t need an umbrella, but I have it on good authority there’s going to be a mask mandate and mail in voting because of this.

They should not let Klingons vote in our elections.

Well it was nice "knowing" yall.

Is we all gonna die?

Yep. Just a matter of when, where and how.
