Fuckin incredible we can get advance notice of stuff that will affect those of us on Earth… because of a rover on another planet
This won’t affect us on earth. We will just be able to see it.
Geez, sun, put some pants on! 🙈
🌞: Well don’t spie! Haven’t you learned to never stare at me directly!
The technological part of this is very cool. But after the last few years I can’t help but think, “I wonder how much damage the inevitable solar flare is going to do?”
Depending on the severity it could really be a societal roll of the dice. Could be for the better or for the worse but either way it would cause a decent amount of suffering in the short term.
It’s going to be an interesting few days if it’s going to hit Earth…
Edit: I said “if”, not “when”
Rotate into view ≠ Effecting earth
Emphasis on “if”
“If” the sunspot hits Earth. Got it.
