This announcement does nothing, since the handful of people who read Newspeak don’t have real lives.

A similar announcement made to satellite operators, grid operators, telecommunications operators, and the like, gives them advance warning so they can prepare their systems to handle the storm.

Why is it called a “dark plasma”? Perhaps it is no longer hot enough to glow.

We’ll be ok as long as the plasma streams don’t cross.

“Glows” in other wavelengths probably!

You’re glowing quite brightly between 8 and 10 microns ...

What a poorly written article.

"Dark plasma" is just a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). I guess "dark plasma" sounds spookier.

"...areas of the sun known as sunspots, which appear to be dark patches on the sun's surface—though certain NASA footage may also make them appear bright..."

Good lord. It's just a simple question of what wavelengths you're looking at. They're "dark patches" in the visible part of the spectrum, they're "bright" in other parts of the spectrum. D-uh.

Nevertheless, nice to know we're getting a visit from a Solar Fart.

When did a CME get trannied into “Dark Plasma”? It seems every chance to sew doom and gloom in even the most mundane of events is par for the course.
