Uh Oh!!! Is It The Beginning Of The End? NASA space weather prediction center predicts massive M9-class solar eruption to strike earth today Monday, January 23, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff,

NASA space weather prediction center predicts massive M9-class solar eruption to strike earth today

(NaturalNews) Late last night, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory observed a massive "ultraviolet flash" emitted from the sun, which has turned out to be the largest solar radiation storm since 2005. This M9-class coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to hit earth today at 9 am EST, and could cause widespread communications interference and damage to electrical systems and structures.

This M9-class solar eruption is just teetering below an X-class eruption, which is considered to be the most severe type of solar storm. M9-class solar eruptions have been occurring almost daily throughout the past week in an area of the sun known as sunspot 1402. But as this area slowly rotates towards the direction of earth, the threat of damage and destruction continues to increase.

"There is little doubt that the cloud is heading in the general direction of Earth," says a Spaceweather.com update. "A preliminary inspection of SOHO / STEREO imagery suggests that the CME will deliver a strong glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on Jan. 24 - 25 as it sails mostly north of our planet."
