Earth prepares for solar storm impact from three CMEs this weekend​

Solar activity has reached high levels in the past 24-36 hours, with background flux at or near M1.0. The most significant developments from the Sun include the growth and merging of Regions 3664 and 3668, as well as the production of numerous M-class solar flares and two X-class solar flares from CMEs that are expected to arrive at Earth this weekend.

Umm, this goes in the physical sciences thread, not the eschatology thread my friend. Am looking forward for the aurora.

OK, can you move it? I posted it here because @keras thinks CME's will be a significant prophetic event some day.

I can ask @FreeinChrist to move your OP to the physical sciences forum, as solar storms are scientific events. The Bible never explicitly discusses solar storms.

So common but newsworthy I guess when it dips slightly below the 49th parallel. Ham radio operators will not be amused.

It is hitting northern Europe and Russia at the moment 3:30 pm CST

Solar storms and Coronal Mass Ejections are natural events. Everyone can see and experience their effects.
The Bible DOES mention an explosion on the sun. Isaiah 30:26 The sun will shine with seven times its normal brightness and the moon will shine as bright as the sun.....[its reflection of the explosions flash]
Then; Isaiah 30:27, 28 & 30 dramatically describe how the nations will be sieved for destruction by devouring flames of fire amid storms and violent tempests.

It is plain to see that the Lord will use the sun to carry out all the graphic Prophesies about the terrible Day of the Lords wrath, the Sixth Seal event.
Therefore, this thread is correctly placed in the Eschatology and end times section.

By the way, it's a beautiful fine and sunny morning here in New Zealand and I do not think this latest outburst of the sun is serious.
There are some things Prophesied which must happen first.

For what it is worth

The sun's brightness does not increase by 7x during a solar storm.

Looks like my state (WI) might get some northern lights. Thank you for the link, brother.

Low on the horizon. BTW if they are not visible to the naked eye, digital cameras may pick up the glow with a ten second exposure

Guess I'll have to stream the aurora on the internet, and find a live stream from Iceland or Alaska.

It's the extremely bright flash, the website; spaceweather.com, has videos of CME explosions.

Are you disputing Isaiah?

You are correct. The sun gets way brighter in the X-ray spectrum, just not in the visible spectrum. So, Isaiah is correct, though 7 is a metaphor.

The flash of a CME explosion is visible. They are over the whole spectrum: micro waves to light and the ultra violet waves can damage eyesight.

Again it seems you are questioning the veracity of Isaiah. Why shouldn't the huge CME that the Lord will instigate on His Day of wrath, be seven times brighter than the normal sunshine?

I am not questioning Isaiah. Sunshine goes beyond visible light, so Isaiah is true.

Its not light that triggers the aurora
