A 75,000 mile wide hole has appeared on the sun & experts warn it could knock out communications ...

[MindWars]

A huge spot has appeared on the sun that could send dangerous solar flares down to Earth. The sunspot, dubbed AR2665, is 74,560 miles (120,000 kilometres) wide – big enough to be seen from Earth. Experts have warned that the spot is large enough to produce ‘M-class’ solar flares, which can cause radio blackouts on Earth, knock out communications satellites and create radiation storms. Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory first detected the huge spot last week, and it appears to

Imagine that oh but we are the USA nothing can take our power, or communications we have Obama watching our backs. I mean him and Clinton can shield us from all the dangers out there. Why they can even stop it from happening. Imagine their magical powers to stop all that fake bs information.

Damn trump. If he'd stop colluding with russia, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Hey einstein. That was like 8000 years ago. Get your butt outta your head.

X class, the Carrington Event.


The Carrington Event
On the morning of September 1, 1859, amateur astronomer Richard Carrington ascended into the private observatory attached to his country estate outside of London. After cranking open the dome’s shutter to reveal the clear blue sky, he pointed his brass telescope toward the sun and began to sketch a cluster of enormous dark spots that freckled its surface. Suddenly, Carrington spotted what he described as “two patches of intensely bright and white light” erupting from the sunspots. Five minutes later the fireballs vanished, but within hours their impact would be felt across the globe.

That night, telegraph communications around the world began to fail; there were reports of sparks showering from telegraph machines, shocking operators and setting papers ablaze. All over the planet, colorful auroras illuminated the nighttime skies, glowing so brightly that birds began to chirp and laborers started their daily chores, believing the sun had begun rising. Some thought the end of the world was at hand, but Carrington’s naked eyes had spotted the true cause for the bizarre happenings: a massive solar flare with the energy of 10 billion atomic bombs. The flare spewed electrified gas and subatomic particles toward Earth, and the resulting geomagnetic storm—dubbed the “Carrington Event”—was the largest on record to have struck the planet.

Solar Flares: What Does It Take to Be X-Class?

And then come the X-class flares. Although X is the last letter, there are flares more than 10 times the power of an X1, so X-class flares can go higher than 9. The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28.

depends on where that baby is aimed when it goes off

If the Massive Solar Flare of 1859 (the "Carrington Flare") Happened Today...
