Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with 'force of 100m bombs'
Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012.

Interesting. There is a bible scripture talking about something like this. Something about people will run in fear and hide under rocks. The heavens will shaken, and stars will fall. I wonder if there could be a correlation made between a massive solar storm and the biblical prophecy. I know the Quran also has something in it that indicates the sky folding up like a scroll. Would our magnetosphere nearly vaporize?
Rev.16
8The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire. 9They were severely burned. They cursed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues. They would not change the way they think and act and give him glory.

The hole in the ozone layer Is all right by me Makes England warmer in the summer Them tropical guys had it too good too long High time they learned to sing a different song And anyway, what's wrong with the odd melanoma If it gets us all out of the coma

To all the 2010 skeptics, your telling me this is just mere coincedence?
Im 100% sure the Mayans predicted this, they were very accurate with solar predictions, eclipses etc.
Although i don't think this will wipe out humanity, i do believe the grids will be fried and we will be living in the stone age for about 2 years.

Just like a broken clock that keeps perfecting it's self twice a day. That's what I have to say about your Bible verse and all other religious verses that could be used.

If it's one thing I hate, its people bashing a Bible verse.
And I am no Bible thumper.
You don't know if the Bible actually predicted this or not, so don't be so quick to assume.
If you read Revelations, as a poster already pointer out, you will find there are verses that could be talking about this 'event'.
If there was a massive storm headed to our atmosphere, and it wiped out all the satellites, it would look like 'stars falling from the sky'...
I don't immediately assume the writings of the Bible are perfect, understandable, or accurate.
But I do know that no matter what, it will be interesting.
Don't look at it as being religious.
Look at it like any other textbook written by man.
(they write what they want to)
Just like your history class school books.
You believed everything in those books when you read them and now you know that the people who wrote them hid MANY things from us and that the books are NOT telling you all truths.
