Major solar flare warns
of potential disaster.
Senior
American Association
for the Advancement of
Science officials meeting,
which just concluded
in Washington, DC, USA
warned of potential
severe solar storms that
could cause extensive
damage and cost the
global economy hundreds
of billions of dollars.
On Tuesday, February 15,
the Sun's surface erupted
in an X-class solar flare,
the most powerful type
of all solar events,
as the most powerful
in four years.
The explosion was
unleashed from a sunspot
region that had barely
been visible just the week
before, but grew quickly
to more than 100,000
kilometers across,
or nearly eight times
the width of the Earth.
Although recent event
fortunately only
disrupted high-frequency
radio communications
in southern China
and caused displays
of the aurora borealis,
also known as
the Northern Lights,
a solar flare of
this magnitude can lead
to much more severe
geomagnetic storms
as its coronal
mass ejection (CME),
consisting of billions of
tons of charged particles,
reaches the Earth's
magnetic field.
These intense solar flares
can trigger prolonged
or even permanent
blackouts in satellite
communications
and power grids, as well
as radiation storms.
Moreover, solar flares are
expected to become
more frequent and severe
in 2013
during the Solar Max,
when the sun's activity
is set to reach its peak.
National Oceanic
and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)
administrator
Jane Lubchenco said,
“This is not a matter of if,
it's simply a matter of
when and how big.
We have every reason
to expect we're going
to be seeing more
space weather
in the coming years,
and it behooves us to be
smart and be prepared.”
Our thankfulness,
scientists,
for these insights into the
significant implications
of what could be
increasingly dangerous
solar activity.
May we heed such
potentially catastrophic
occurrences as reminders
to protect ourselves
through more uplifting,
eco-conscious lifestyles.
At the request of
Supreme Master
Television staff
in Los Angeles,
California, USA,
during an October 2010
videoconference,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
explained
the cause of solar flares,
and humanity's ability
to significantly worsen
or improve such events.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : All suns are
Fifth level beings.
The Fifth Level beings
are only there to give us
spiritual benefit and
upliftment and happiness,
but unfortunately,
we sometimes abuse it.
We are not
making ourselves worthy
of all this help.
So we have all
this violent atmosphere -
because of war,
because of hatred,
because of mass murdering
of animals, etc., etc., and
abusing the environment.
We are killing too much,
so we attract this kind of
a flare.
It's us, the humans,
who attract it, the flare.
And if we continue,
it could be worse than that.
It's just a warning only.
Just a warning.
It could be worse.
I always tell everybody,
“Please, pay more attention
to moral standard.
Please be
more compassionate.
Please be more virtuous.
Love each other.
Peace. No war.
No killing. Vegan.” -
that is to protect everybody.
