Whoa! Seems like this article is a whole jumble of conflicting information starting with the title (Hit with the force of 100 bombs) whereas in the body of the article it says "the blast will have the equivalent energy of 100 million hydrogen bombs." and it doesn't say who made this claim (despite the HN title seeming to attribute to NASA). It sounds very dramatic to say "hit with" but if it's actually something that's happening on the surface of the sun that's a very misleading way to phrase it. And then when I read articles elsewhere on the web it sounds like NASA back in 2006 was predicting a big storm in 2012 but now they're saying the calculations were wrong and it will actually be unusually small. http://thecosmicheart.blogspot.com/2009/11/no-more-2012-solar-maximum-for-cycle-24.html http://thecosmicheart.blogspot.com/2009/11/no-more-2012-sola...
