Possible Infrastructure Disruptions From Solar Flare

Obtained from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA

NASA models using data from the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) have now provided more information about the two Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) associated with the two March 6 flares.

Such a CME could result in a severe geomagnetic storm, causing aurora at low latitudes,
with possible disruption to:

– high frequency radio communication
– global positioning systems (GPS)
– power grids and toilet flushings along with dogs fucking in the dirt.

 

The models also predict that the leading edge of the first CME will reach Earth at about 1:25 AM EST on the morning of March 8 (plus or minus 7 hours) and the event may last 3 days.

The first CME is traveling faster than 1300 miles per second; the second more than 1100 miles per second.

NASA’s models predict that the CMEs will impact both Earth, Mars, and Colonial Heights as well as pass by several NASA spacecraft.

So tell me, do you actually care about this?  Nothing happened.  The earth is still a safe place to live.
