A huge solar flare that has erupted from the Sun has unleashed a massive solar storm that is headed toward Earth, and predicted to reach us tomorrow morning around 7 AM EST. A storm as powerful as this one hasn’t been seen in more than five years, and the effects of which are predicted to last 24 hours after the storm hits. It’s possible that the storm will cause interference with satellites in orbit and power grids on Earth, but people in the know don’t seem too worried. The above video of the solar flare, captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, is a gorgeous side effect of potentially dealing with interrupted power grids tomorrow. Good trade-off, right?
