Giant Solar Storm May Hit Earth by 2020
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Maybe the Mayans were right, just a few years off. There's a 1 in 8 chance the earth may be hit with a catastrophic solar storm by the year 2020, according to a new report from space physicists. The sun changes in intensity on an 11-year cycle, and at its high intensity can whiplash charged particles in to space at 4-million miles per hour, hitting the earth's atmosphere and creating glowing ribbons of light known as auroras. But the light show can wreak havoc on electrical systems, cause radio blackouts, and more. The last such storm in 1859, known as the Carrington Event, set fire to telegraph stations. Researchers estimate a new event could cost $2 trillion in damages, paralyzing electrical grids, disrupting GPS systems and radio communications, and requiring a decade's worth of repairs. Paging John Cusack and Nick Cage: Better get this disaster movie in production—theaters may not have the juice to play it after the fact.

For the people saying no one will die. Yes they will. If a Solar Flare hits us like the one they're talking about. ALL tech will be zapped. Planes will fall from the sky. Pace makers will stop. People on life support will die. Riots caused by the chaos of no alarm systems or a proper communication grid for police and fire fighters will lead to deaths.
Also, it says BY 2020. So this event can happen anywhere from the time after this is posted to the year 2020. It's a 1 in 8 chance of happening. And our Sun is working towards it's 11 year cycle of being it's most awake. So sleep well, because tomorrow you might not wake up to your alarm clock.
Go to #Suspicious0bservers They keep a nice check on the Sun and it's activities. -
I had a dream where the sun got to close to the earth and so did the moon.
