I can tell already this is going to scare a lot of people. Now we have scientist fearmongering. Maybe they should have kept this to theirselves as even they can be wrong.

You do know what photographic filters are don't you?
We obtained images in the SDSS r’ filter (c = 6250 °A) on UT 2007 Nov. 6, 8-15 at the 3.6 m CFHT atop Mauna Kea. The instrument used was MegaCam, a wide-field mosaic camera of 36 CCDs that covers a square-degree field of view (Boulade et al. 2003).

The visual observations of Holmes were that it was yellowish. Unless the Hopi new about telescopes and digital cameras and filters, it wasn't blue.

The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective fiction novel written by an American author, Dan Brown. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu as they investigate a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ of Nazareth having been married to Mary Magdalene.

But one thing I have adapted to is ,Maybe not.
though many predictions that our good man Nostradamus gave us

believing 2012 is the end of something.
the Hopi and the I-Ching give reference to end times
and the recent web-bot ( not quite a firm believer there)
All these and now modern science is confirming some things,
it could be,. however science is often wrong with their results
And sometines mans interpretation of things are often misread or exaggerated.
Like in the bible, how fish falling from the sky were a sign from god,
when a water spout may have just been in the area.. a very natural thing.
I am on a intense "wait and see" mode
However, I am prepared for many situations.
2. Aliens come down and tell us the storm will happen so we need to get on their ships where once again we get enslaved.

Just HOW can they predict that? As far as I know, there's no science or tech around that allows us to measure the approx time and especially intensity of a solar storm, 2 years before it happens.
This is purely speculation, advertised as doomsday prediction, nothing else. The elite are once again building up apocalyptic hype for a second "Y2K Bug" non-event, so that they can profiteer from it through massive investment and government policies related to protection against electro-magnetic activity.

We need to commission a think tank to give recommendations to government
on how best to protect our power grid and electronic systems in case of
a massive solar emission.
A massive flare impacting earth 500 years ago would have been stunning,
colorful, magnificent, but hardly dangerous. Today however, it would be
catastrophic to the technology of the industrial world. We are extremely
dependent on systems like GPS and radar for navigation of ships and
planes.
If we experienced a flare today like the Carrington event of 1859
there would be massive damage. Best guess is communications
would be lost, satellites would fry, GPS and radar would go offline,
the power grid would cause eruptions of fires in millions of different
locations at once, vehicles with electronic controls systems could
be effected...there are so many viable possibilities (and all of them bad)
that to NOT respond to this threat in a pro-active way is suicide.
Science estimates the earth will experience one serious flare every 500
years, so it is not a question of if, but a question of when, and how
severe.
We need to prepare like you stated. Key satellites should be que'd up
and ready for launch to replace existing ones, surge protection
and disconnect switches for the power-grid, exercises and training
for commercial pilots who might have to fly by-the-seat-of-their-pants
without radar, GPS, or communication...there are so many areas to cover
but we must get ready....
