No it doesn't. There are solar maximums where we're not touched by so much as a direct CME. This one has already been considerably worse.

Its a 12 year cycle, lol. Maybe 11 year. I learned alot about it while studying for amateur radio. They're good for radio signals.

Solar cycles, minimum and maximum is a cycle. But that's not the purpose of this article, and if you really have studied it, you'd know we're due for another major one.

I'd like for my ass to be extra crispy, and my balls rare if at all possible.

Well I doubt we'd see anything like that in our lifetime, but every hundred years or so, a significant solar maximum produces a major CME/Flare in the X-class range, which will pretty much toast our power grids. The last one did, but it was before power was widely spread or used (1850's.) We're overdue.

No it wont.

Yea, it will. According to the electrical engineers who designed our grid, NASA, FEMA, and an independent review board who demonstrated the effect another X-class flare would have on even a moderately protected grid. 100 million dollars was just granted to come up with a solution by 2011 by Congress, and so far no one has.

Images of Massive Sunspot Show Sun's Chaos
http://www.aolnews.com/science/article/images-of-massive-sunspot-show-chaos-and-energy-of-sun/19621388?ncid=webmail

(Sept. 4) –– New images of a colossal sunspot show the chaos and energy on the surface of the Sun.

The New Solar Telescope in Big Bear Lake, Calif., snapped the closest image ever taken of the sunspot, which is larger than the Earth. Resembling a giant sunflower, it makes for a pretty picture, but the black fibers are violent jets of energy being thrown from the surface of the star.

"What's interesting is that when we look at the sunspot, it appears pretty benign," New Jersey Institute of Technology professor Philip R. Goode told Fox News. But "the fibers are actually jets of energy being ejected from the bright magnetic fields at the surface."

Temperatures in the sunspot range from 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit to more than 10,000 degrees.

The sunspot itself is about 8,000 miles in diameter. The Earth is about 7,926 miles around the equator.
