We'll Only Have 8 Minutes Until Complete Blackout... (Video)

In this 8 November 2026 published video, host geophysicist Stefan Burns reports on a large, Earth-facing sunspot (designated 4566) emitting M-class solar flares and speculates on the societal, technological, and geophysical impacts if a much stronger X-class flare were to strike. A strong solar flare causes an immediate high-frequency (HF) radio blackout on the sunlit side of Earth as soon as the X-ray radiation arrives 8 minutes later. This disrupts aviation, maritime, and emergency radio communications, rather than shutting down the electrical grid. Widespread electrical grid blackouts are not caused by the 8-minute flare itself, but by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)—massive clouds of solar plasma that sometimes follow a flare. Unlike light, CMEs take 1 to 3 days to reach Earth, giving space weather agencies like the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center advance warning to protect power infrastructure.
Sunlight and electromagnetic radiation take approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel the 93 million miles from the Sun to Earth. If a massive solar flare or Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupts on the Sun, Earth receives the initial flash of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation in about 8 minutes. However, the actual plasma and energetic particles (which cause power grid disturbances, auroras, or satellite disruptions) typically take anywhere from 15 hours to a couple of days to arrive—though online disaster-precaution discussions often blend these timelines into dramatic “8-minute warning” scenarios.
Online creators (such as geophysical and space-weather commentators on platforms like YouTube) use this premise to discuss what would happen if an extreme “Black Sky Event”—a catastrophic, long-term power grid collapse caused by severe space weather or cyberattacks—were to hit.
Is a much stronger solar flare about to hit? If so, how does that affect us here on Earth, societally, technologically, and geophysically? Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports…
