Sunspots, Solar Flares, Solar Storms in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013?!

NASA has released very shocking news today about Earth Black out in 2013. According to NASA reports, the earth is going to massive solar storm in May 2013 which will have capacity to damage the earth and technology like satellites, GPS, mobile phones, television, radio. The solar storm can eject high radiation and charged particles into space which could lead to heavy magnetic fields that will become hazardous for functioning of satellites and space stations. Some experts are predicting that the damages as a result of this solar storm will be as huge as twenty times then the damages occurred due to Hurricane Katrina in year 2005. It could leave millions of people around the globe without electricity, water, and phone service. Experts are saying that it could cost $2 trillion to fix the resulting mess due to solar storm.

Is the 2012 solar flares likely to happen & blackouts ?
“likely” to have black-outs? no
solar flares in 2012? slightly higher risk than now.
The Sun is in a very inactive phase at the moment. Probably will be a mild Solar Maximum in 2012, but Solar Flares can occur any time.

I heard a major sun solar flare is expected by 2011 and there could be a global electricity grid wipeout.?
The History Channel, right?
The sun reaches “solar maximum” ever 11 years or so. Sunspot and solar flare activity increases in the time leading up to this, and decreases afterwards in an 11-year cycle. The next maximum is 2012, but flares can occur any time; they’re just more likely in the couple of years either side of that.
Powerful solar flares (which are rare) can cause communications difficulties and problems with power grids. Nothing that doesn’t occur anytime there’s a major thunderstorm, just more widespread.

Scientists are saying that the Sun’s surface is eerily devoid of activity at the moment. It’s “Like the quiet before a storm,” says NASA. When the sun’s surface quiets down, we can expect an incredible burst of activity in the form of communications disrupting solar flares and storms. This is referred to as a maxima in an 11-year cycle of sunspots. But there is one glimmer of hope. Scientists are unsure how to predict these maxima and admit that the upcoming maxima in 2012 could be as viscious as in 1958, or as meek as in 1805. We can “expect to see the first sunspots of the next cycle appear in late 2006 or 2007â€”and Solar Max to be underway by 2010 or 2011,” says David Hathaway of the National Space Science & Technology Center (NSSTC).

NASA Creates First 3-D View Of Solar Eruptions

A view of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) in three dimensions. The Sun is the orange sphere in the middle of the image, and the CME appears in false color as the white areas. This CME was launched from the Sun on June 29, 1999 and was directed toward Earth. Researchers analyzed ordinary two-dimensional images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft in a new way to yield the 3D images.

NASA Spacecraft Make First 3-D Images of Sun

Image of our Sun (in 2-D) was captured by SECCHI/Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on March 20, 2007. The blue false color image show the sun’s atmospheres at a temperatures of 1 million degrees C (171 E), credit NASA
