But this is something serious that I was concerned about, so I came to you guys. No joking. I'm a mature adult, going to college for science. This area of science however, I know little to nothing about, so I thought this board would help me out.

Don't be like that.

>Nasa recently warned that Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation “space storm”.

So basically...you folks on here are just about as useless/lolworthy as the /b/tards? Naive me thought there'd be scientists arguing and throwing fireballs at each other left and right. This pleases me.

solar flairs are a myth, op.

take it from an astrophysicist.

>> No.1539538

That's what I figured, no legitimate sites said ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING, and there were recorded solar flares of this volume way back in 2008,and we're still here.

But who likes the sound of "solar tsunami", honestly.
Thanks though.
Trolled by Nasa, I was.

sooo where is my aurora borealis?
they say it could be seen on lower latitudes
