 ColinFiat Site Admin 'JavaScript' Level 26 Posts: 1,359 Submissions: 89  | Quote: A POWERFUL solar eruption that has already disturbed radio communications in China could disrupt electrical power grids and satellites used on Earth in the next days, NASA said.The massive sunspot, which astronomers say is the size of Jupiter, is the strongest solar flare in four years, NASA said yesterday. The Class X flash - the largest such category - erupted on Tuesday, according to the US space agency. "X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said. On Tuesday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory saw a large coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the flash that is blasting toward Earth at about 900km per second, it said. sarcasm level 3/10 (potential for some stated claims to occur with limited impact) |

The speed of light is not 8 minutes, it is just how long it takes light to travel from the sun to the earth. |
