solar eclipse?

Ok its just a lunar transit, nice watch though

I know all you guys that are talking specifics is all good .. but to a woman who reads that this possibility of a global Severe Solar Storm that is claimed to be on it's way sometime between now and 2012 or 2013 is serious biz.

The possibility of a solar storm is always there, the probability during its peak or polar shift in the '11 year' cycle is more likely to happen.But not a garantee. Some say solar cycle 24 will have its peak between end 2011 and end 2012, some say not until 2013.
IMO they dont know and they are everyday changing opinions.

2009 prediction science.nasa.gov...
Thats why i posted the above graphs to have some opinions on what and when things will or could happen.
It is not really sure if a solar storm will happen during that period, remember solar cycle 23, it had its peak in sept 2001. 2 years later in its descend there was a X28 solar flare, and early 2011 X2.2.Lucky us it was not entirely Earth directed.

According to this butterfly graph(sunspots) you could say there is a slight increase of sunspots so this could mean more activity for this cycle so more chances for a geoeffective storm.
Scientists have real difficulties in predicting these events.

They are actually telling people to prepare for this .. and Im getting the feeling by reading some posts that this is not as severe as they claim ??

Can anyone comment on this .. should we all really start preparing now or what ?? after a discussion with my daughter minutes ago she also would like some insight to this .. they claim we would only have 12 hours notice thats hardly time enough to prepare ..

it's really hot over here now ..geesh sweating this all out lol
the weather man said this summer was going to be on the cooler side lol it started out that way but now its like
I really don't think thats the way its turning out bu only time will tell

Preparing for such an event? I dont know, I think it all depends on the scale of the event.
Solar flares are filled with charged particles so things that could happen are loss or interuptions of the power grid, communications on small and large scale.
A powerfull flare(s) could rip 'holes' in earths ionosphere that could have a negative effect on the human body.
For the extreme some say it could strip our magnetosphere or even flip earths polarities...
I think if such things would happen you will only have some small change deep underground and than i didnt mentioned geological events.
On that day i will be outside watching auroras

But you can always prepare for yourselfs if it makes you feel better.
I hope someone will share some of their ideas here
