"B" Class Solar Flare happening right now!

reply to post by brokenheadphonez


I frequent the weather network a lot to see if any storms are coming my way.

It is updated every 10 minutes.

Right now the last update is 11:30 a.m.

It's been down for 9 hours now. Never seen it down for more than an hour in the past. Just seems suspicious.

from ACE:

erupting flare from SOHO LASCO:

energetic particles from SOHO EIT:

and (copyright @NICT) RTMS simulation based on ACE data showing bow shock changes that I associate with incoming events:

So, it actually happened. I'm surprised and I'm not. I can't clear my schedule for the next day, but I'll post whatever I observe as I watch this as it happens..

Cheers, everyone!

This is all very interesting to say the least.

However, unless something considerable actually happens Monday or Tuesday, nobody is going to give it much notice.

But, I'm begining to actually think that something may happen.

Jay, this probably won't have any major effects other than the typical flare interaction - the point is, there was a flare. That's the big deal here.

Watch live everyone, judge for yourselves..

Very latest SOHO images

ACE data

Real time magnetosphere simulation @NICT

If you're seriously interested in any of this - keep those links open, reloaded, and keep your alt+tab fingers ready.

I'm sure you are probably right.
Hmmm... Maybe I shot the moon when I predicted the flare on Tuesday could knock out the power grid to New York City?




Oh well, predicting the flare is still substantial considering we haven't had one in Two years.

Wait, do we expect this flare will actually hit the Earth or is it too early to tell?

The "July 7" date could indicate *when* it hits our magnetosphere, which varies from ~40-80h for 1au - With quick ones being as quick as 30h!

The time it takes to travel here will either make or break the case, here..

If a flare actually hits on the 7th that would be an extraordinary coincidence to say the least.

I mean, the possibility of something going wrong is too great.

Hello there

I'm reading since the first post and I would like to know if that will be more "big" than 1989 or any other one that hapen in last 50 years ...


Thank you

Have a nice X-Ray day

Hello again

Nobody can answer me ? please ?

thanks

Désolé!

The only things I can think of are the GPS failure due to solar radio bursts, and the two Hydro-Québec failures.

I also believe the 2003 Northeast blackout was due to a cascading failure caused by low level solar induced ground currents, but I cannot prove it as access to data is restricted due to national security reasons..

Other than that the sun affects almost every biological, technological, and geospheric process on Earth...

That was actually why I predicted New York to go down on Tuesday...

I figured it was a solar storm. The grid up there is extensive if I'm not mistaken and it powers everything from New York City to Niagra Falls.

Time to stock up on batteries, food, water.

Don't forget flashlights and radios, just in case.

I'm not sure something will happen but it is ALWAYS a good idea to have enough to sustain you for 5-7 days. If anything, treat it as an emergency prepared exercise..

Well, here we go.. definitely increase in pressure showing this solar flare is indeed geoactive:

Thank you (merci bien )



and look at this one ...

First post, Hello all.
These are my observations about the recent few days. Please dont be sarcastic with me, I will never be. ever.

Solar XRAY flux has started going up when the STEREO B images stopped updating, around 22:00 UT July 3rd.
www.swpc.noaa.gov...

Crop circle of Milk Hill Phase 3 and recent Solar xray flux appear to have digial signals 0101 sort of information.
If anyone with more knowledge of the digital language can find its meanings , it might help with some correlations for other researchers.

Just Image links here.

Thank you,

Wow thx Apachai...

Crap!!!

Everyone better buckle up because here we go!

GREAT POST! Thank you. You're meant to be here. Can we keep the scientific observations to this thread and crop circle stuff in the other thread? They're both important but I believe need to be separated for the moment..

I was gonna create my own "scientific" thread, but with all of these great minds here, why make more work?

The crop circle thread is here: www.abovetopsecret.com...

If we all collectively work together, we can understand this.



Also, staircase pattern emerging:

All of my most relevant data and pictures and graphs are here in my ATS pictures

It's not sorted, sorry..
