CaulkLiquor Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 We are not expected to recieve a direct blow, but the aurora borealis will be visible to a much larger area than normal. There is speculation about what it could do but it seems as though we won't know till it hits or rather just before.... - inb4 the end of the world http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/03/largest-solar-flare-may-create-sky-show/ Quote
Jefke Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 That's nothing compared to the sun on bf3... I know totally off topic, but couldn't resist Quote
Wizbang Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 You need to know that after reading this I spent about a half hour wikipediaing space stuff and ended up finding that we're gonna try to send up a balloon to end up on Titan. It will take it about 7 years to get there. Thanks for helping to expand my knowledge. Quote
Saizou Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I'd love to see the aurora borealis, tho it's probably a fat chance at 46 degrees of latitude. Quote

PHANTASM Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Not to worry, the earth's magnetic field deflects most of the radiation anyway. You could always back up your data to an external hard drive and put it in a lead-lined safe if you are worried. Quote
ReedLAb Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 i have noticed lately that metal objects are beginning to gravitate. Quote

KevinBacon Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Lost sattelite tv service for a bit yesterday. Having worked in the industry, I've had to tell sattelite customers about this problem before. Quote
