A lot of people wonder what the Signs in the Sun prophecy of Luke 21:25 will mean. One potential fulfillment of that prophecy is the kind of extreme solar storm event described in this post from Fun and Story for Everyday:
A new study from the National Academy of Sciences outlines grim possibilities on Earth for a worst-case scenario solar storm. Damage to power grids and other communications systems could be catastrophic, the scientists conclude, with effects leading to a potential loss of governmental control of the situation. The prediction is based in part on major solar storm in 1859 caused telegraph wires to short out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires. It was perhaps the worst in the past 200 years, according to the new study, and with the advent of modern power grids and satellites, much more is at risk. [...] The race is on for better forecasting abilities, as the next peak in solar activity is expected to come around 2012.There is also a prophecy in the Book of Revelation about the sun scorching people with heat that could also be fulfilled by an extreme solar storm.
