Solar flare blasts radiation storm toward earth! (Jan 23)

[ReCreate]

Interesting article I read and I heard about it on the radio.

This can interrupt GPS systems, high frequency radio communications, and disrupt the electrical grid! The end of the world is coming. x3 It's estimated it'll hit earth early morning on the 24'th eastern time. Cool huh? I wonder what the results will be.

Yeah this is a m9 which is a pretty big flare.

Interested in seeing what happens. I feel like going out driving to see if my GPS is functioning right.

The S in GPS already stands for "system." Just sayin'.

Anyway, I expect some panic over this, but I doubt it'll cause much.

Pssssh, what do you know about science, Sleet? It's the end of the world, man. For sure.

You've never heard of Global positioning system system?
They're huge in Europe right now.

(I guess I should say something on topic)
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!

Well, there is a GPS and there is the system behind a GPS so I suppose that you could say GPS system sometimes... maybe.... I think I'm wrong there.

[KJOokami]

Yeah, there's no system for the Global Positioning System. Just a system for global positioning. :p

[Tattorack]

Cool! The massive solar flair that was supposed to come last year summer is coming now!
Wooh YEAH!
........
I'm in Europe... would I be able to see it?

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

I don't think your supposed to look at solar flares. unless you make a habit of staring at the sun.

I heard there was acctully a unique display of the aurora borealis in the far north. That's probably what Tatto meant.

Yeah, that's what I meant... though I guess I missed it...
One of the reasons being that I'm in the south of France...
