We give ourselves too much importance on the stage of life. The planet, the sun could just have a hiccup and we’d be gone in a flash. I’m gonna keep my gas guzzling v8 until the day I die..

Humanity’s pride knows no bounds. Let it be your will and not mine, our Father in Heaven.

I’m going with the Polocks. They do their solar bound travel at night so they don’t burn up.

We don’t know the magnitude of God nor the magnificence of Him.

Nor do we know the horror of hell.

I have seen this before. Look for the signs and prepare. But don't worry, it will take a few hours so you will have time to go on that fantasy date...

I'm pretty sure it was because the sun is not vaccinated. We need to pay NASA 10 zillion dollars to send a rocket piloted by Bill Gates with a big syringe in the nose right away. I'm sure that will stop the transmission of all CMEs and we'll all be safe.

It would only be a catastrophe if my daughter loses her wi-fi.

“some say would represent similarities to the 1859 Carrington Event.””

Wait... 1859? Are we still here?

“It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally[1] and caused sparking and fires in multiple telegraph stations.”

Good thing we don’t have THOSE anymore!

“catastrophic for Earth” ??????? Hyperbole much?

It was sooooo disruptive in 1859, that they had to postpone the Civil War a few years. /s

That is correct....or a planetoid ricocheting from some cosmic billiard game 3 light years away...or the sun being less stable than we believe it to be....we pump ourselves up so much....easy way to see your mortality....spend 2 days without food and water in the wilderness

People don’t realize there’s more danger from cosmic events than “climate change”.

A couple years ago my son would have most likely been the one to capture that image.

He used to be flight operations/data tech for the SOHO solar observatory.

He’s now flight ops for another scientific satellite array.

Wonder if the sun’s climate might have something to do with climate change on Earth.

Now that's just crazy talk. The sun is eternally quiescent and stable. Only humans can change the earth's climate.
