The sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity.
How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?

Kurzgesagt in a nutshell: [Deadly thing]: Can this destroy humanity? happy intro music plays
-
I love how Kurzgesagt always makes you feel like the earth is going to be destroyed and then they tell you nah its prob fine
-
The Northern lights tonight was so beautiful it reminded me of this vid

2020 so far : chaos Kurzgesagt : BUT WAIT, THERES MORE

Literally everyone in 2020: The July trailer looks sick, man.

There is this really cool game called โThe Long Darkโ, where you have to survive in the northern Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic storm sapped your planeโs battery. Itโs a really fun game but since the geomagnetic storm would be a worldwide event it could be considered a post apocalyptic game. But unlike a lot of post apocalyptic games you get to SEE The apocalypse.

a solar hurricane narrowly misses earth in 2012 So that's where the whole end of the world thing came from

Kurzgesagt: โBabe, itโs 4 pm! Time for your existential crisis!โ Me: yes honey....

The world: is about to end Engineers: โHave you tried turning it off and back on again?โ

I love how most videos make a reference to how fragile humanity is, can't deny that its true, we really are fragile pieces of glass that could break any second. Yet, I love how it always ends with a positive note, either its something that's not in our hands anymore or other human beings are well aware of these events, so that they can be prevented. In the end, the entire universe will one day go into eternal sleep, yet before that I hope we can get to a certain type of civilization and make more discoveries about our beautiful universe before we all part.

๐ Who else came back to this video after hearing about the huge solar storm hitting us now? ๐๐

2020: Now this seems like a Marvelous idea

Imagine having a blackout for over 5 years while being quarantined

-
My brain immediately connected to this vid when I found out about the solar storms ๐ง

Kurzgesagt is always like "Don't ever forget that you are less than nothing in a universe of wonder and you could die in any second. Anyway, we love you, hope you have a nice day โฅ๏ธ"

2012: Prepare for trouble 2020: And make it double
