Most of you have seen stuff like these before, but still; regarding technology, another blooming just happened recently due to the sun's flare. Not to mention that's the strongest flare since like, 5-10 years?

Oh and before you say it (we're in danger! 2012!), it's just another anomaly that doesn't do much. It could disrupt communication due to the radiation, but then again that only concerns people in aerospace afaik. Satellites may be trolololled too though, which also brings me to the point... of blaming the sun in advance.
Because I'm probably going to have some bad connection issues in ACV.
Quote:You might have noticed the flare looked like an elongated diamond. That’s not real! It’s a digital artifact; what’s happening is the flare got so bright it overwhelmed the pixels in the SDO detector. These collect light like a bucket collects rain. If too much light hits them, they overflow into the neighboring pixel. This flare was so bright it flooded the detector, and created that effect — technically called blooming.
