Geomagnetic storm from the sun expected to blast Earth tonight — here’s what to brace for

A storm could be-fall us.

Colorful leaves and cooler temperatures aren’t the only thing autumn is potentially bringing.

Meteorologists predict that Earth could be blasted by a geomagnetic storm on Wednesday due to its timing with the autumnal equinox.

A coronal mass ejection (CME) — when plasma and magnetic particles burst forth from the sun’s surface — occurred on Sunday, the same day as the official start of fall, Space.com reported.

It reportedly occurred when a sunspot called AR3835 unexpectedly spouted an M-class solar flare — something scientists hadn’t predicted as said sunspot had appeared stable.

Brace up and hide under the bed. Maybe wear a mask?

Sort of the opposite.

At least it isn’t a ‘bomb cyclone!’

Hide the women and children! Gird your loins! Brace for impact!

I guess they think they have to tell somebody for some reason.

Oh, great. A solar flare arrives at the same time as the hurricane.

Well, ya know... the “science” tells us that the solar flare is prolly because of the hurricane....or vice versa. They’re not quite sure yet how to spin it 😝 All I know is I’m slapping on a mask and hiding under my bed, just to be sure!

“EE”

That film was creepy (Nicholas Cage) but masterfully executed.

Went outside last ight and there were these 8 or so lights (I was busy trying to take a photo of them because they were so unusual, so didn’t count how many- unfortunately couldn’t get a good photo because of the darkness- too shaky due to slow shutter speed)

They were in a figure 4 pattern- neatly aligned, and didn’t move for several minutes, then they began very slowly moving, and fading out slowly.

The lights were red, and the size compared to seeing a star size, was maybe 20 times the size in appearance- and were very prominent in the sky. Whole family saw it.

Not sure what they were- the fact that they slowly faded out indicates aybe flares, or even perhaps those Chinese lanterns or whatever they are called that floatup in the air, but the fact that they were so neatly arranged in a figure 4 pattern was real.y odd.

I’ve seen the starlink formation before, and this was not that.

A coronal mass ejection. Something that the Kyoto Protocols could have prevented.

Don’t get excited:


“In a recent Tweet, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted that the CME-induced geomagnetic weather will be a G1 or “minor” class storm, the weakest of the five categories.”

But, but, it’s SCIENCE! It can’t be wrong.

- Maybe wear a mask? -

For a geomagnetic storm the recommended attire is a tin foil hat. /s

I warned everybody about this. Now could we PLEASE throw Greta Thunberg into a volcano?
