Is it true that NASA has predicted that we will get historic solar flairs next year

I have read that NASA has predicted historic solar flairs next year, not sure where I read it or if it is credible. I work as a video network engineer at a cable company and I know that the common solar flakes do interfere with satellite reception causing video outages for verify moments.

The Sun goes through an active period every 11 years where it produces more flares than it does during the quiet periods. You don't need NASA to predict it; we've known it for hundreds of years. The next peak is in 2013. It's going to be milder than usual; not much in the way of flares.

You're right to be skeptical. Yes, solar flares occur all of the time. Further, NASA can't really predict flare activity with any great lead-time. And, it's only really coronal mass ejections that are ANY concern at all. Doomsday sites on the internet like to take NASA statements out of context to lend a veneer of legitimacy.

What has actually been predicted relates to solar activity cycles. The next solar maximum was at one time calculated for late 2012. Naturally, like ANYTHING expected for late 2012, the doomtards took this to be a sign of IMMINENT DOOM, prompting NASA PREDICTS KILLER SOLAR STORMS IN 2012!!!1! Well, it turns out that this solar cycle is a little... slow. It took forever to attain any significant activity, and even once underway, it's a bit lacklustre. We're now expecting the peak in mid-2013, and even that seems to be creeping later and later into the year... with an activity level of about 60% of the 2001 solar maximum. What's historic was how deep and long the solar minimum was.

The brief interruptions in satellite feeds, as well as temporary power failures are about what you can expect from a big coronal mass ejection, when it actually comes our way.

Yeah, actually that's kinda right.
'Historic' might be a bit melodramatic. The Sun has a pretty long history. :)
