wow that is serious business

Its crazy man think if this becomes reality in 2012 then :ohno:

A matter of hours I think.

Edit:

Here.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A CME TO REACH THE EARTH?

The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is 150 million kilometers which can be written as 150 x 10^6 Km.

CME's can vary in speed. They can range from 200 km/s to 1000 km/s, although typically, most of them travel at about 424 km/s (Avg 1996-1998 speed St. Cyr et al., 2000).

Assuming that CME's don't accelerate or decelerate on their way from the Sun to the Earth, we can easily compute from the numbers given, the minimum travel time, the maximum travel time, as well as the average travel time.

time=distance/speed

So, the average time it would take a CME to get to the Earth is 98 hrs. At 1000 km/s, a CME would take 42 hrs, and at 200 km/s, a CME would take 208 hrs.

so what? you none of us can so anything about this! enjoy what life you may have left, cause really wondering about such events is meanless when you have NO POWER over the cosmic events..I understand your post ....however what really can be done to stop it? NOTHING! we won't suffer that long trust me on this it will be quick...go on and enjoy the life you have left...R.G.

I would like to be a witness to a massive CME wouldn't you, I could tell my grandkids "No one saw it coming apart from us dudes on DTV thanks to an eccentric German who went by the screen-name Marduk"
