The sun unleashed a massive solar storm today in a spectacular eruption that some have called the most impressive yet observed by the NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The video shown is dramatic.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center predicts that the solar flare will generate a coronal mass ejection (CME) - an explosion of charged particles (plasma) spewed into space. This could cause a geomagnetic storm when the plasma reaches and interacts with the Earth's magnetic field.

However -- and fortunately - the angle at which the plasma bombardment reaches the Earth beginning tomorrow and peaking on June 9 suggests the intensity of the geomagnetic storm will reach only G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) levels on a scale from G1 to G5 (G5 would signify potentially widespread damage to power grids, GPS, and low-earth orbit satellite systems generally).

  • I like your "spin" on it. Pun intended

  • @26TM240 And the problem is, this isn't government controled media. The big oil corporations are behind every government and they don't want their business to die, so why would they advertise the catastrophes of carbon emissions? And don't tell me this is a lie, even here in Portugal, a small country, that's as easy to see as a lamp in a dark room.

  • @26TM240 So, what, the problem isn't the now, it's the after. I'm not saying we kill the planet, we are killing ourselves, because we are exhausting the worlds "filters" such as the amazon forest. It's not only the carbide emissions that cause the problem, it's a bunch of other things. The Earth is pretty damn capable of reestablish the balance after we are all dead. And I do have a life, thank you. I don't need a new one...

  • @youdontknowxpand

    You've been watching far too much government controlled media...

    Earths influence 4.8 billion years

    Humanity's influence only a tiny fraction.. 250 years, 500 , 1000?

    GET A LIFE...

  • @Junglist562 Partial FAIL: The sun affects the earth's weather but we humans are screwing things up even worse.

  • @Junglist562 How can you sit there and say the sun could possibly affect the temperature of our planet !!What are you?Some kind of realist or something??.........To hell with Al Gore/David Suzuki(Canada's#1 climate fraud) and the entire East Anglia cabal........

  • At 1:08, a very large tubular structure is seen in the six o'clock position relative to the sun. Is this a space telescope, or something else?

  • that is a big ass CME, was it directed to earth?

  • @ andoogle13 That was a rad video. Ill have to check out some of your other uploads. Keep the space vids comin'.

  • Science has proven that a CME strong enough to hit the Earth will in fact raise the overall temp on the surface.

    Global Warming propaganda is wrong when NASA has satellite images of the sun pelting Earth with plasma rays of death.

    Tree huggers want fight global warming so bad, well fight the sun, it also contributes to green house gases.

    Let us not forget how much sulphur dioxide is spewed out from volcanoes.

    Hippies fuck everything up in life.

    This is a great vid, thanks for upload :-)
