NASA scientists braced for 'solar tsunami' to hit earth

I guess I had better put that rent check in the mail. :)

>still here< O.o

Notice how no names have been cited here for comments. "Scientists/Experts Say" Is simply not good enough. Take with a grain of salt.

still nothing.

This is a lie; a clever HOAX trying to get me to post more religious pages well, I'm not falling for it.

nothing.

I'm still alive... For along....

NOTHING HAPPENED!

Sitin in da yard , with me sun glasses, hat, n sun block on .I reached for da uncooked jiffy-pop when wouldn't ya know it....

This has zombie apocalypse written all over it...

See all the Environmentalist's work is gone to waste. Now who wanted to save the Earth?

wow, I had noticed how crazy the sky looked the past few days, thought maybe it had something to do with all the planets in the sky...could their gravitational pull cause/increase solar flares?

Why am I not dead?
I will be expecting the aurora in New Jersey within 11 hours, and if I don't see it, the sun is gonna pay.

"Its the end of the world as we know it..."

This is a class C-3 solar flare. Okay so what does that actually mean anway?

"Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events, C-CLASS FLARES ARE SMALL WITH FEW NOTICEABLE CONSEQUENCES HERE ON EARTH."

There is no significant threat from this outburst, what most people will probably notice are some pretty light. There's 10% change of disturbance in high latitudes and 5% in the mid.

While the observation of the tsunami on the sun is significant for the study of the suns behavior and the threat from CMEs is real, I think some people are exploiting the threat of solar events as a another excuse to consolidate international institutions.

We should all bust out our cereal box eclipse viewer from middle school. You know............so we won't hurt our eyes when the sun explodes

I want my abacus!

a BBQ would be appropriate - theme party time! :) hahahahahaha

a solar show with a big bang ending ! :)....maybe :)hahahhaahhahah

Everyone go outside after the sun sets! We could be in for a good light show!

I NEVER LEARNED TO REEEAAAD! lol i wouldent mind seeing some a northern lights before i die. annnd if nothing happens do we safely assume nasa's on crack?

Cool, we will return back to dark age

If I tell everyone I know EXACTLY what I think of them and then go streaking around the city and this solar storm doesn't vaporize all life into whiffs of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon this week... I am going to be SO pissed.

maybe i can take the day off then...

Ohhh I would rather freeze to death than be burned to death! stupid sun you suck!!

Fuck, why can't that thing just explode tomorrow. PLEASEEEEE GOD!!!!! Just this one time. I seriously usually don't ask for anything in my prayers... cus I don't believe in you or pray that is.

Okay gang here is the real crappy part. The sun is about to begin acting normal again. Yes, I said normal. You see, for the last like 50 years the sun has been a sleepy star. Now all this activity that WILL be here over the next few years is going to release more heat toward the earth. Then add to this the fact that right now the orbit of the earth to the sun will be closer to the inside limits of the Goldilocks zone, and we are going to heat up fast. All of this would not be a big problem but Global Warming, that Co2 and methane and other greenhouse gasses, are going to trap that extra star heat in the earths atmosphere. Straight up, by by ice caps, hello 200 feet rise in the oceans. The earth will finally put an end to the virus mankind.
Hey, check me out! I am not talking out my backside kids. Love you all but we may all be out of the pool soon.

what? we didn't even make it to 2012? rats...

ill probably be sleeping when it happens...or bitching on here ;) preferably drunk :)

Well, in the event that something does happen, love you all and good luck. Time to prep. And hope.

must bake brownies and drink champagne :)

Thanks... now I can't sleep... I have too much things to do before dying!

Surfs Up!

Now You All know what happend to the Dinosaurs... they didnt have any sunscreen.

How might this, if at all, affect those who have implanted pacemakers?

*Runs around in circles and starts screaming like a citizen in any 'Godzilla' movie.*

So are we going to see an explosion of fantastic four powers?

I have a small pond in the back yard for the birds, squirels and other critters to drink from. Think I should toss a couple Lobsters in there?

this all seems like that nick cage movie....... knowing or something

Time to put some shrimp on the barbie.

"Scientists have warned that a really big solar eruption could destroy satellites and wreck power and communications grids around the globe if it happened today."
You mean in an hour??? Or are we talking a specific time zone here?

well i just hope i go quick - vaporization! otherwise life goes on. we have no control.

i wonder if planet x / nibiru has anything to do with the acting up of the sun
nibiru is 4 times the size of earth so its gravitational pull will affect us and other bodies of our solar system even if it is quite a distance away

Hey, Tuesday as in tomorrow? But I have a lot of important things to do, like be alive.
