Light is one thing. Particles another. I’ve read, IIRC, of their speeds of 1,000,000 mph or so. That would be about 93 hours.

Apparently the larger solar storm events tend to happen when the sun is more quiet...

There was a solar storm back in the mid to late 1800’s that fused telegraph devices...a similar storm today would do far more damage and it’s only a matter of time.

Repent !!!...Well, Yes, but not because of this." Repentence is essential for surviving a "Son" storm :-)

BIG NEW SUNSPOT: A large sunspot group is rotating into view over the sun's northeastern limb. The emergence of this apparently significant active region could herald an increase in solar activity.

You’re just one big frickin’ ray of sunshine aren’t you?

We're doomed! Yes, eventually we are. It may be a sunstorm, a supervolcano, an asteroid or comet strike, a ferocious pandemic, climate change (yes, catastrophic change happens, but not for the reasons the Gorebots say) or something presently unpredictable. Eventually the human race will either be destroyed or reduced to a small remnant. Such catastrophes have happened in the past and will happen again given the passage of time.
To: null and void
The sun is too dangerous. We should reduce our use of the sun.

LOL, with just a little ultraviolet thrown in; oh, and a few million tons of streaming matter traveling at 1,000,000 MPH!

Let’s see now. “Massive Solar Flare to Create Chaos” story runs, what, about every 1-2 years? For, what, at least the last 3 or 4 decades? And guess what? NOT ONCE, NOT ONCE, I tell you has a “massive” solar flare EVER created chaos! NOT ONE FUCHING TIME!

‘Massive solar flare destroys civilization’ story runs every few months on FR...
There is a hope however. There was a period of years on FR where a ‘Lincoln was gay’ story appeared several times a year but thankfully those seem to have fallen out of fashion.
