The Northern Lights illuminate the skies above Germany and the United Kingdom as the most powerful solar storm in more than two decades strikes Earth. The spectacular displays were visible overnight from Tasmania to the UK, with the storm threatening possible disruptions to satellites and power grids into the weekend.

[@user-zy9yg2eu5t]

Because the News usually reports on things that have happened instead of soothsaying and using a crystal ball

[@Backtitrationfan]

because they just found out like 2 hours before it happened

[@Shyndree]

There were warnings all over the news yesterday about the solar storm... I went out to a dark sky reserve, and was treated to a spectacular show. They did report on it ahead of time, and now they are just showing what it was like.

No but your government is trying to find a way to tax you over it?🤣

[@bigfisher4354]

A solar storm is when the Sun kicks out loads of charged particles, causing disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field. It can mess with satellites, power grids, and navigation but isn’t a danger to us on the ground, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic shield. Essentially, it’s a bit of a nuisance for tech, but not harmful to us directly.

And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines and plagues. And there shall be terrors and great signs from Heaven. (Luke 21:11) 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men fainting from fear, and expecting those things which have come on the earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 27 And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to happen, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.

Solar storms happen all the time, this is just the strongest one we've had in 20 years. This doesn't prove global warming. Global warming can be proved in other ways, such as the earth heating up. I'm not saying that global warming isn't real, though. I'm just saying that this isn't proof, and that other proof exists though.
