More On The Sun's Big Miss

Hey Space Placers!

NASA just released more information on the BIG solar storm of 2012.  You know, the one that would have knocked us back into the dark ages and we still would not have recovered by now.

I have written previous blogs on this topic and have included them for background:

It turns out that we have a predicted 12% chance of another major solar storm within the next 10 years. It also appears that these mega-solar storms are the result of multiple events occurring on the Sun.

Here is the technical paper if you want to read it.
