Solar Storms and the Zombie Apocalypse
- by KitchenPantryScientist
My son came home from school the other day joking about a zombie apocalypse. Before that, it was the Mayan apocalypse. And now, he keeps hearing about all these “freaky” solar storms. He laughs, but I’m sure his 11-year-old imagination leaves plenty of room for worry.
I can’t kill the zombies lurking in his subconscience, but I can put his mind (and my own) at ease about the solar storms with this short NASA video that explains that we’re in a totally normal sun cycle and are protected by Earth’s atmosphere
