A massive solar storm is heading toward Earth, threatening to disrupt communications, navigation systems, and power grids around the world.
NASA issued the warning after a powerful burst of energy from the sun last week, which measured as an X2.7-class solar flare, the highest category for solar flares.
Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation that come from sunspots — darker, cooler areas on the sun's surface — and are among the most powerful explosions in the solar system. These flares can last from a few minutes to several hours.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Every time they say the ski is falling and it does not, they scare less people. This has diminishing returns.
They always say that
that is why the last time back when noah tried to warn everyone that the clouds would collapse people never believed until the last second.
Today when the clouds collapse and the bytes rain down it will be every bit as problematic as it was back then
I have worked with several of these. back in the very beginning you could not even transfer a copy of your instance to a different region, I made them write me a tool, but it was still a pita and expensive to copy.
I have not used aws in years, and I am sure everything is far better now.
But the clouds will collapse, it is just a matter of time and human error. who knows it could even be AI error, or AGI intentional
while telling everyone that it was a bad thing
Huge riots if the EBT/SNAP crowd doesn’t get their cheez doodles.
Hey, cheez doodles are IMPORTANT things…
Seems there has been the same warning three times in the last couple week for different solar storms. Yet has amounted to nothing so far.
Yeah, this has happened all the time for the last 100 years - not.
The DM likes click bait.
Bet its royal stories paywall is earning it bupkis.
The comments are a better read than the paywalled BS stories...
I think my ‘57 Chevy Bel-Air will be just fine. We made it through Y2K with no issues.
A coronal mass ejection is a significant ejection of plasma mass from the Sun’s corona into the heliosphere. CMEs are often associated with solar flares and other forms of solar activity, but a broadly accepted theoretical understanding of these relationships has not been established. If a CME enters interplanetary space, it is referred to as an interplanetary coronal mass ejection.
This is it boys. Nuclear combat toe to toe with the Sun.
With this “Bipolar Spring” we’ve been experiencing here in the upper Midwest, I’ll miss it (provided the Northern Lights get this far south).
I don’t have to worry about FEMA- I live in a Trump area, so FEMA won’t be showing up with aid.
Better make sure your vaccines are up to date.
In before the “Knowing” post.
I knew I shouldn’t have bought green bananas today.
Newark Airport hardest hit.
“Solar flares...are among the most powerful explosions in the solar system”
Hmmm, what could be bigger? My money is on something on Uranus.
