ALERT: Sun Sends Massive Jets of Radioactive Plasma Toward Earth – Possible Impact by Midnight Friday Night

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Right now, Earth is in the path of not one but two coronal mass ejections (CMEs). One burst from the sun’s surface early Tuesday morning, moving fast, and the other left not long after midnight early Wednesday morning, moving more slowly.
When the sun erupts a huge burst of matter and energy like this, the particles can fly anywhere between 200 and 1000 miles per second, says Art Poland, an astrophysicist with George Mason University.
Tuesday morning’s CME was moving at 570 miles per second, NASA reported, and Wednesday’s was a more sedate 380 miles per second.
The charged particles from the earlier CME may already be in our atmosphere, while Wednesday’s particles could reach us by midnight Friday night (Eastern Time).
