"In Sept. of 1859, the entire Earth was engulfed in a gigantic cloud of seething gas, and a blood-red aurora erupted across the planet from the poles to the tropics. Around the world, telegraph systems crashed, machines burst into flames, and electric shocks rendered operators unconscious. Compasses and other sensitive instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist. For the first time, people began to suspect that the Earth was not isolated from the rest of the universe... Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and how his brilliant insight--that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth." stuartclark.com/publications/2-publications/4-the-sun-kings
On Feb. 15th at 01.44 UT, sunspot 11158 unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year so far, an X2.2-category blast. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an intense flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation. A third significant blast from sunspot region 11158 kicks off the first X-class flare of cycle 24
This could be a significant event on this planet. Solar flares can burn the electrical grid. This occurred in Quebec, Canada in 1989.
""Fiery storms on the Sun may have caused yesterday's huge power blackout that left almost 6 million people without heat or electricity for almost 9 hours (in 19 degree F / -6.8 degree C weather)..."

Latest NASA Information:
MAJOR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have detected the strongest solar flare in more than four years. At 0156 UT on Feb. 15th, giant sunspot 1158 unleashed an X2-class eruption. X-flares are the strongest type of x-ray flare, and this is the first such eruption of new Solar Cycle 24. The explosion that produced the flare also sent a solar tsunami rippling through the sun's atmosphere and, more importantly, hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. This raises the possibility of geomagnetic storms in the days ahead.
