Solar flare threatens to disrupt Earth's communications and power

Prophecy Sign: There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars.

No, this doesn't mean astrological signs, but rather astronomical signs. Quite likely Jesus wasn't referring to the occasional major solar flair striking Earth when he warned of these signs. More rather, it's likely he was referring to the Moon turning Red and the Sun like sackcloth just prior to his literal return to this earth. However, this article is still interesting if you have interest in the cosmos, and should remind us of Jesus' words about the coming end times.

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. Joel 2:31 NIV

From the article:

An unusual solar flare observed by a Nasa space observatory on Tuesday could cause some disruptions to satellite communications and power on Earth over the next day or so, officials said. The potent blast from the Sun unleashed a firestorm of radiation on a level not witnessed since 2006, and will likely lead to moderate geomagnetic storm activity by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. "This one was rather dramatic," said Bill Murtagh, program coordinator at the NWS's Space Weather Prediction Center, describing the M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare that peaked 0541 GMT.
