.. a massive X4.2 solar flare is like something out of a sci-fi movie 
. I mean, can you imagine being on Earth when this thing hits? Radio blackout, power grids going down... it's like the apocalypse in there. But at the same time, it's kinda cool that we've got people like those at NASA who are keeping an eye on this stuff and trying to figure out how to prepare for it.
I'm just glad they're learning more about solar activity and how it affects us. It's like, we used to be so clueless about the sun and its effects on our planet... now we've got fancy satellites like SDO that are helping us stay ahead of the game. Still, I wonder what it'll take for us to become more prepared for these kinds of events. Will we ever get to the point where we can just, like, ride out a solar flare without any issues?
