Warning: That video claiming a 'rare solar flare' hit Earth last week was actually footage from a 2012 NASA simulation

I spent 45 minutes cross-referencing the timestamps and sunspot patterns before I found the original upload on a university archive site - has anyone else noticed how these recycled space videos always skip the actual source links?

Saw a post about this on Bluesky last week from a NASA data analyst.

Oh man, is this really worth all that detective work? People are gonna believe whatever clicks with their anxiety anyway, so who cares if it's recycled.

Yeah, it's the same pattern as those "miracle cures" that never cite a single doctor or study.
