The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned that the active AR2975 sunspot exploded in 17 solar flares in two days, sending two and possibly three corona mass ejections (CMEs) into the Earth. The huge wave emitted by the Sun is magnetically charged particles that are expected to hit the Earth and trigger a moderate geomagnetic storm that NOAA has classified as G3, which means it is unlikely to cause serious damage to infrastructure such as d. The two Earth-headed CMEs have merged into what is called a “cannibal coronal mass ejection” when the second CME exceeds the first CME, combining together to form a large wave of charged particles. NOAA expects the impact of the CME will trigger a lightning bolt that could be seen as far south as Pennsylvania, Iowa and Oregon.

Jak’s love for science, space and technology, and more specifically for PC gaming, began at the age of 10. It was the day his father showed him how to play Age of Empires on an old Compaq computer. From that day on, Jak fell in love with toys and the evolution of the tech industry in all its forms. Instead of the typical FPS, Jak holds a very special place in his heart for RTS games.
