Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.
What about it? It's a big solar flare, but my understanding is that it's still not big enough to do any real damage.
no real damage. this time.
I just looked it up on Wikipedia.
The extreme ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from solar flares is absorbed by the daylight side of Earth's upper atmosphere, in particular the ionosphere, and does not reach the surface.
What else should I know?
... you mean the skies are looking Fantastic tonight?
I live in Germany, nothing happened. So this is barely news.
It was visible in the uk as well, it was best seen through a camera, almost impossible to see without one
Ah, right, didnt know, thanks! Only heard about it afterwards
mhmm tasty evolution juice
The best way to describe it!
it's good that you properly capitalized your name
Don't look directly at the solar flair
If the solar flare approaches you, do not engage with it
Lay down and pretend you are dead. This way the solar flare will most likely lose intrest and leave.
It's only 1 though. We need to talk with the sun about its flair.
It claimed it wanted to express itself, but the Crab Pulsar expresses itself every 0.8 seconds.
I don't know and I wanna. What's so bad about it?
It's the Internet, so I assume buttholes.
And life goes on...
This only makes me want to do it more
