Are guitar comedians REAL stand up comics?

Solar flares are bursts of magnetic energy from the Sun, not fires—they don’t need oxygen. The Sun generates energy via nuclear fusion, fusing hydrogen into helium in its core, not through combustion. The April 28, 2025, power outages in Spain, Portugal, and France weren’t caused by a solar flare. No significant solar activity was reported that day. Instead, evidence points to grid issues, like technical faults or temperature-related oscillations. Some facts to clarify: - Flares are driven by magnetic reconnection, not burning. - A strong X-class flare can release energy equal to billions of hydrogen bombs. - Solar activity can cause auroras, but it didn’t cause these outages.
