It will destroy all electronic equipment, including ones that store the internet and 4chan.

Make your last posts on this thread anons, might be a couple of years until we meet again.

QUADS CONFIRM

END TIMES!!

At least we don't have to worry about chink virus anymore

>>12434444
>quads of 4's
reeeeeeeee

What side of earth will it hit?
2020 is the year.

>>12434444
Confirmed. Goodbye anons soon we'll all be free.

>>12434447
Not end times. Based times.

>>12434444
>I'll lose all my Reddit karma and Steam library
It's not fair bros

>>12434456
They ain't saying. That's the worrying part.

>>12434444
be better off just killing us all now.

Is it too late to send 1 trillion lions?

anon signing off. was nice talking to you fags all these years. see you in 2040 maybe.

>>12434476
kek yes

>>12434437
Pls fucking kill us

How is it that /x/ and /pol/ are being more sane about this than anyone in this thread?

Will it really be that bad? Weren't the 1859 and 2012 ones X-class solar flares - more powerful than C-class? If this is bad, will wrapping my shit in aluminum foil work? I'm a brainlet.

>>12434437
Here's another recent cme that impacted earth east of the south atlantic anomaly.

>>12434555
just make a faraday cage and earth it

>>12434555
No. A Faraday cage needs to be made of a good conductor like copper.

>>12434649
aluminium is a good conductor though?
tin foil is still way to thin

>>12434444
God I hope so

>>12434456
The one where it is day at 22 UTC, not my problem then. Better, I could see some nice aurora

at worst some power transformers will catch fire
it sounds a bit over the top that it would wipe out all electronics

I propose we start calling them sun farts.

Nothing will happen. It is a tiny flare and probably the CME was small too. At solar maximum flares like this happen multiple times per day.

>>12434555
The classes are logarithmic too. An X1 is 100 times more powerful than a C1. The most powerful flare with x-ray data happened in 2003, it was X30 to 45, i.e. ~1000 times more powerful that a shitty C5. Note the resulting CME impacted the Earth, it did not destroy all technology. The people who have to worry about CMEs are power grids and satellite operators. This tread is insanely stupid.

Are you the same retard who was blathering about god knows what because some guy on a gossip forum showed you a youtube video?

>>12434444
Tradies it's our time to shine.

>>12434476
keked hard

>>12434451
Why not?

NOAA analysts have modeled the storm cloud; their results confirm that it will likely reach Earth during the second half of Dec. 9th. En route to our planet, the CME will scoop up some slower-moving material from an unrelated solar wind stream. The combined impact could spark geomagnetic storms as strong as category G3, although lesser G1- to G2-class storms are more likely.

This is NOT a major space weather event. But after 3 years of uber-quiet Solar Minimum, it is noteworthy. If a strong geomagnetic storm materializes, auroras could be sighted in northern-tier US states from Maine to Montana to Washington.

Been hearing different from Twitter when it comes to estimated times:
GMT: 9th ~9am
AEDT: 9th ~8pm
EST: 9th ~ 4am
PST: 9th ~1am

>>12435053
You actually read some of these thread replies? They're pretty retarded.

>>12436882
>8pm tonight
Will I be able to see anything if I stand outside?

>>12438722
Where are you?

I like this website for solar weather things.

>>12434437
Rostov Naval Base. Black Sea. Can confirm. We have received systems alert. Also underwater detonations of unknown origin detected.

>>12439119
oh yeah dude you got a crazy alert and ran straight to /sci/ CME thread to warn people about it

Is it over yet?

>>12434437
Literally nothing is going to happen to us. I don't know why you people get so worked up every time the sun queefs in our direction.

>>12439410
Yeah, that Strange0bservers guy pretty much said here it wasn't going to doo much damage in the long run- just the typical radio blackout shit. https://youtu.be/sRQbSH8RNmc

>>12439357
Can't be any less dumb as the first handful of posts.

>>12434444
Was nice posting with you, comrades.
Should have been quints though.

retards

>>12434437
new planet or moon on the way! neat.

>>12439559

>>12439592
it literally just happened and here i am still here replying to you on my computer

>>12439648
No one thought it's going to really happen. It's a joke. You goddamn autist.

>>12439665
sure you didn't buddy

>>12439648
That's impossible. I can assure you the emission destroyed the internet infrastructure at least in my country. You're a liar.

>>12439692
If that's the case, then how the fuck are you still here? Besides, it's not supposed to hit until 22:00 UTC or so according to the article in the OP.

>>12440364
I'm using Starlink internet.

>>12440364
All my internet/computer cables are Monster Cable. They are heavily shielded like Air Force One.

>>12434444
Finally.
Well damn there goes my crypto portfolio.

2:30EST everything still works

Happening cancelled

>>12434437
>THE CMER
>I'M GOONA CMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I wish it happened. 100% electronics blackout for the coming 10 years would be best thing to happen in my life.

>>12441378
It's 22:00 UST, so around 17:00pm EST.

>>12434437
c isnt that bad. all the cool stuff is m class. not joking all the cool stuff is m class

>>12441920
Yeah, but it's a C7.4, so it's pretty high, closer to M-Class.

Connectivity seems fine:

WHERE IS THE END OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT YOU PROMISED
I ALREADY SOLD EVERYTHING AND MOVED INTO SHED IN THE WOODS

>>12446355
Blame >>12434444. He's the fearmongering bitch here. I just babby when it comes to solar weather,

Well this was underwhelming.
https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/424/20201210-coronal-mass-ejection-arrival.html

can we just fucking get another one like 2002 or 2003 or whenever the fuck it was already
i want to see some cool auroras again, I was too young and retarded to properly appreciate them the only time they came down here

>>12434444
Shieeeet

>>12434517

>>12439587
So, what was that again?

I hate living in southern Wisconsin. I wanna catch the northern lights, but I can’t ever catch a break. Not even with the light pollution, or CMEs.

>>12450200
What makes this shit worse was my older brother and cousins seeing it on the edge of the city back in 2011, where the aurora was blood red.
I had the chance to see them last August when I was in Canada for a study abroad geology course, but my dumbass fell asleep and missed the show. I guess I’m just cursed.

>>12441920
Yeah, M-class is the type of shit that you want.

>>12448187
