From what can be gathered solar storms will become more common and stronger in 2012 or 2013 and what is expected is that areas in the northern hemisphere will experience more intense geomagnetic storms thus resulting in potential power outages and can also affect power grids as well as cellphones and other forms of communication and satellites

The next solar maximum will begin around 2012-2013 and solar storms will be more frequent and stronger during this time period, however the next solar maximum is expected to be weak.

A solar storm in 2012 is in the offing. NASA has reported that the power source of our universe is going to unleash a tantrum like never before.

What is a Solar Maximum and What Happens?
The sun is always belching globs of its inner self into space, but every 11 years or so, changes in our star’s magnetic field bring on an increase in sunspots, solar flares and events called coronal mass ejections. The result is a barrage of charged particles hurling toward Earth.

The peak in this cycle is called a “solar maximum” or “solar max.”

Solar flares, one type of “space weather” associated with solar maximums, release tremendous amounts of energy, equivalent to a million hundred-megaton nuclear explosions, in just moments, scientists say.

Past disruptions

During the last maximum in 1989, a power surge triggered by solar energy damaged transformers of the Hydro-Quebec power system, leaving 6 million people in Canada and the northeast United States without power for more than nine hours. The event also knocked satellites out of orbit and disrupted radio communications.

Now, with a world that relies increasingly on satellites for daily communication, the risks are higher. Cellular telephones, pagers and the Global Position System — used for airline navigation — could be particularly vulnerable, experts say.

According to scientists, the biggest solar storm in recent history could occur in 2012.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,478024,00.html5 Some scientists predict that the 2012 solar storms could disrupt communications on Earth during the 2012 London Olympics. The warning comes from British scientists involved in NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory project (SDO), which began monitoring the sun’s atmosphere after it is launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on February 9, 2010.http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/mission/about.php6

A major solar storm could emit enough radiation to disrupt satellites which would interrupt GPS and any satellite reliant technology on Earth.http://www.scpr.org/news/2010/02/27/solar-storms-could-be-earths-next-katrina/7

In March 2009, the National Center for Atmospheric Research warned that the sun, which has 11-year sunspot cycles, was nearing a “Solar Maximum.” This event was predicted to occur around 2011. The upcoming Solar Max is expected to be 30% to 50% stronger that the last, which was in 1958.http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10mar_stormwarning.htm8

Slide 1The Solar System BY Ruben
Slide 2Sun The core of the sun is about 28,Million degrees Fahrenheit. The surface of the sun is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes the sun 200 million years to orbit the center of the Milky way Galaxy once’ traveling at 150 miles per second.
Slide 3Mercury Mercury has the biggest temperature variance of any of the planets with temperature reaching 467 degrees Celsius and as low – 183 degrees Celsius. The length of one day on Mercury is to 58 Earth day. 1 year on Mercury is equal to 87.9 Earth days.
Slide 4Venus Venus rotates so slowly that it completes 1 year {224 Earth Days} before it completes 1 day {243 days.} It is the only planet that spins clock wise. Venus is the brightest planet
Slide 5Earth The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of 67,000 miles per hour. 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered with water. Earth is estimated to be 4.5 million years old.
Slide 6Mars Mars has 2 moons named Phobos and Deimos . Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system ,Valles Marineris , it is more than 2,480 miles long and 3 to 6 miles deep. Mars has the longest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, Which is 16.8 miles high 370 miles in daintier.
Slide 7Jupiter Jupiter has 63 moons. Most of them are small, but it dose have the largest moon in the solar system named Ganymede. The red eye of Jupiter is actually a giant hurricane type storm. The storm is2 x larger than the planet Earth and has been constant for more than 300 year. Jupiter is so larger than all the other planets in the solar system can fit inside 2 x.
Slide 8Saturn The winds near Saturn’s equator below at 1,100 miles per hour, making Saturn the windiest planet. The average temperature on Saturn is -285 degrees F. The length of one day on Saturn is equal to 11 hours.
Slide 9Uranus Uranus is known as the sideways planet because it’s axis is tilted 98 degrees. Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun. Uranus has 11 ring mostly made of dust and rocks.
Slide 10Neptune Neptune and Pluto switch positions during their orbit around the Sun Neptune is closer for 220 years and then Pluto is closer for 20 years. Neptune has at least 13 moons. Neptune has a grate dark spot, similar to the spot on Jupiter, Wind speed in the storm were clocked at 1,250 miles per hour.
Slide 11Pluto It takes 248 years for Pluto to orbit the Sun. Pluto average distance from the Sun is 3.6 billion miles. Pluto is smaller than Earth’s moon.

Why should anyone prepare for a Solar Storm, Earth Changes, Global Warming, or Climate Change which are just some of the subjects touched on in the documentary “Contact Has Begun” (featuring futurist James Gilliland).

Have we not been assured and reassured by many scientists that all their worst fears are going to take decades and possibly centuries to actually happen.

Why then would a documentary such as “Contact Has Begun” suggest that there might be global changes as soon as 2010?

Solar Storm Expected Around 2012 Could Leave the World in Darkness and Chaos for Months
A report commissioned by NASA has concluded that a solar storm could cause massive, long lasting, worldwide devastation and has called for a program of reducing the vulnerability of infrastructure and improvements to to solar storm forecasting.

The next peak is expected in 2012 and may be particularly severe. A solar storm could knock out power grids with cascades blacking out massive areas. The water supply and sewer would fail quickly and perishable foods/medicines wouldn’t last long.

“A catastrophic failure of commercial and government infrastructure in space and on the ground can be mitigated through raising public awareness, improving vulnerable infrastructure and developing advanced forecasting capabilities,” said the report.
