On January 20th, 2005, a giant sunspot named "NOAA 720" exploded. The blast sparked an X-class solar flare, the most powerful kind, and hurled a billion-ton cloud of electrified gas (a "coronal mass ejection") into space.
You were talking about the 2006 flare
I'm assuming
and the flares are forcasted to get stronger towards solar max in the coming decade
it hit
and was literally harmless
by nasa's own admission
Loo
nothing we can do can 'sheild the earth' from a CME of significant strength
Very thing military is emp shielded for example and a lot of metal casing might actually leave like half and half equipment working anyway
@Lucienne d'Anwyl READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE YOU RETARD
Nothing matters y'all are gay anyways.
wouldn't work
IT'S FROM NASA
Real men have sex with little women
you need to discharge that energy somehow
NASA is a joke
jAXA is the real deal.
I need to do some lightening
"could cause widespread power blackouts, disabling everything that plugs into a wall socket."
so again
grid damage
My gf says she's worried I'll crush her
but individual people wouldve been unaffected
a flare is like a tide... it's not just for an instant, it can last as long as the North lights; so what, 1hr?
and they said that one was espcially strong
when the first part of the flare hit, your shield would be toast
NIGSA
yeah sending the civilized world into the dark ages would definitely leave individuals "unaffected"
>dark ages
It’d affect anything hit but metal casing would deflect some of it act as shielding idk about things being plugged into the wall why would they get hurt
jesus lol
we didnt have much electricity in the 1800s
and it ws hardly the "dark ages"
? anything without copper shielding would be fried
especially strong during that solar season with earth's shield at full
@Lucienne d'Anwyl It would cause cancer in mass but wouldn't outright kill people
Probably
