Scientists Say Our Sun Could Release a Deadly ‘Superflare’ At Any Moment

whose been feeding the sun gas station burritos, who?!

[VideoDoctor]

Yes. Of course, the article really doesnt get into the fact that this has been true literally since the sun was created, because this way gets more excitement and clicks.

Careful there AZSteve,

Your post #19 makes far TOO MUCH sense. How can they SCARE the public if people such as yourself tell the TRUTH!

[GreenHornet]

“It is unclear whether gigantic flares are always accompanied by coronal mass ejections and what is the relationship between superflares and extreme solar particle events,”

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself.

[notdownwidems]

Great! Something else to worry about

[TexasFreeper2009]

this sort of random thing just may be the reason no other life exists in the universe that we can find.

Humans just got 1 in a trillion lucky to have enough time at just the right time to evolve to a point that we could possibly survive such a random incident or a comet strike or some other random celestial event.

[metmom]

Yes, and it always could have.

They’re cranking up the fear porn on something no one can do anything about.

[SaxxonWoods]

Climate god’s punishment for still using oil.

[Larry Lucido]

I want Curtis Mayfield to sing his “Superflare” song when this happens.

[Red Badger]

He’s dead, Jim..................

[Red Badger]

Quick! We must raise taxes and drive EVs!.......................

[chickenlips]

Ol’ Sol is such a flamer.

Carrington Event of the same strength or stronger is indeed possible. The sun it does things!

When did god destroy the earth

[GOPJ]

When looking for this type of evidence, the researchers say they found five “extreme solar particle events” and three additional candidates within the past 12,000 years. If all eight are confirmed, the rate of such events would be around once every 1,500 years.

IF they're all confirmed... that's a big 'if'... and changes the math.

He didn’t. He removed all but one by flood, according to the Bible, which gave us a new age.

[BipolarBob]

They are probably referring to the Flood of Noah. It seemed pretty destructive at the time, I’m sure.

[BipolarBob]

He removed all but one by flood, according to the Bible

I thought it was eight that were saved.

[gitmo]

It is true that God can destroy the Earth at any moment. He has before and he will again. Then there will be a new beginning. So we should take advantage of the most important gift He has ever given us: Time. Use it wisely. It might WILL be in short supply some day.

For some, that will be at the end of their individual lives. For others, it will be at the end of the age.

[faucetman]

BUT, it hasn’t for THOUSANDS of years so far.

Now, getting back to life on erff as I know it.

If it is a game of Russian Eoulettee, maybe the next Carrington event will hit Russia and China instead of North America and Europe. On the other hand maybe it will flare out of alignment with the solar system and only hit things in the Asteroid Belt, the Ort Cloud or the Kuiper (sp?) Belt. A giant flare may happen every few centuries, but the probability the earth would be directly in the line of fire, and that your piece of geography would be facing the sun when it happens is far lower. Relax, drink an eggnog, Merry Christmas.
