Solar flare idea

Some of these threads on this forum make my soul hurt.

Was this thread supposed to be about coronal mass ejections? A coronal mass ejection is a big bulge of high-energy particles that can cause electromagnetic disturbances. They're belched forth from the sun on a fairly regular basis. It isn't going to wipe out all life, or set a planet on fire, or whatever the hell you people think would happen.

Solar flares themselves don't hit planets. The solar flare is what can cause a CME, not some sort of world-ending event on its own. If a planet was close enough to be actually damaged in some way by the release of a solar flare, it wouldn't be a planet anyway, since it'd have long since boiled away, having been torn apart by the sheer tidal force of the star in questions' mass anyway.

Kill yourself. There is no hope for you. Stop wasting our oxygen.

:shock:
eewww...... How did I miss that comment. Your about to have a new one torn real quick..
