In September, we were warned by the Physics professor of the University of New York that it was only a matter of time before solar flares hit our atmosphere. While the news anchors interviewing Michio Kaku seemed to chuckle a bit at his hypothesis, it appears he was right.
The Los Angeles Times recently released a news report that we are now witnessing the biggest solar flare storm since 2005. For those who don’t remember, seven years ago, we witnessed a massive amount of charged particles storming towards earth. Today, we witness an even bigger storm.
Scientists reassure us the main event we will witness is more northern lights, according to The Slatest, but is that really all that will happen? While the idea of particles give us the pictures of small broken pieces, NASA demonstrates that these particles contribute to a giant mass of charged radiation.
