USAF/NOAA Predict 25% Chance Of M Class Solar Flare Next 72 Hours

Just thought I'd let everyone know. M class solar flares are not that severe, but they are certainly note-worthy.

"M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow M-class flares."

Well, it looks like there already was one M class flare today. Click the link above to watch it.

I'll post updates if needed.

Good Question. I posted it in the 2012 forum because the solar maximum is supposed to occur in 2012-2013.

I should have posted it in alternative news.

Oh well.

Do I need SPF 30 or SPF 50 for this one?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks for moving my thread to a more appropriate section GAOTU789.

I'm not sure what I was thinking.
