Large Solar Storm this weekend, latest in 20 years

It "could" disrupt communication and create northern lights for much of North America.

Rare severe geomagnetic storm watch issued for first time in nearly 20 years amid "unusual" solar event

The sunspot responsible for the odd series of strong solar flares is so big you can see it with your own eyes from Earth.

Must be because of people on Earth's use of fossil fuels and climate change

Western PA is in another of its week-long solar eclipses, so there's no threat of us who live in that area seeing the Northern Lights.

In all seriousness, we've had better weather in this area in the last few winters, comparatively speaking, than in our our so-called good weather months. More WPIAL baseball games actually might get played in the winter here than in our wretched spring weather.

What do you mean by "latest in 20 years"?

"Largest"

 

[Obliviax]

I don't know what this means....but...

 

[Obliviax]

more stuff when I don't have a clue what this means but it looks impressive.

Is that the cover story they're trying to prep people for?

I’m just glad I have my tin foil hat at the ready!

People defaming conspiracy theorists is Orwellian. Sarcasm.

The magnetic field has been weakening for many years. And the poles are moving so much that GPS systems had to be adjusted last year.

I have long thought that this weakening is a major contributor to global warming as more solar energy penetrates ghe atmosphere.

May you live in interesting times…..

Contrary to climate alarmists the Sun controls everything. Just try and manipulate the sun, LOL I just dare them.

Well, SOMEONE turns it off at night 😜

Tonight’s show will be north of the border with Canada only. Unless those guys were right about them penetrating deeper because of the weaker magnetic fields.

As for their predictions thst the poles will flip in the next 25 years….. seriously doubt it. Geology just doesn’t move that fast,

But I hzve to wonder how much of an effect these solar storms will have. Could a huge on accelerate the process or even cause a quick flip? IDK🤷🏿‍♂️

Tree ring studies show rare, occasional indications of msssive amounts of gamma rays. Big enough to cause mass extinctions. Like every few thousand years. And the source is unknown…..super nova? Black hole eating a star? Our own sun?🤷🏻‍♀️
