Solar Activity Watch 2011

Solar Cycle is reporting a M 1.0 flare just went off.

Have been hearing reports of radio black outs, computer problems, etc.. It appears we are in for more M's at least - up to 60% chance. We might be in for some ride the next few days.

Very true crazydaisy. Looks like the Aurora is starting to move a bit.

Come on Northern Lights! Please, please please!!!

It appears we are still getting flares - M1 today.

It just might be a wild ride this week.

1158 and the M-class, and if you look at the images at SDO, 1160 looks like it is going to be a monster also.

The SDO is worth every single penny.
The sensor array on the SDO is like something you would find on the U.S.S Enterprise - D.
I have a gut feeling the Earth is going to get blasted December 2012 and thanks to the SDO
we will see it coming.

It seems spaceweather.com has increased the percentages again.


M flares - 75%

X flares - 35%


I have never seen either this high before.

I wonder if this has anything to do with our power outage at about 330am pacific time. We lost power for 2 hours. I called the electric company and the recording said that they had experienced and equipment failure and were tracing the problem in the lines. It also blew our our filter on our fish tank that was only 1 yr old. It was plugged into a surge protector too.

The forecast does not come from spaceweather.com, it comes from NOAA.

There is a high probability of vigorous activity because region 1158 has a complex magnetic structure (Ekc, beta-gamma-delta). Such a structure is likely to produce strong flare activity due to interactions between squabbling fields.

Your right, I posted Spaceweather.com because that is where I read the info. I give NOAA the credit.

Phage! Been a while!

Glad to see ya back!!!

OFF TOPIC

I'm feel a tickle in my tummy. The family is back together! And I mean that. Nice to hear from you again Phage.

On Topic: There are so many places to go on NOAA. Where do you go once you get there to get this info. I also look at spaceweather. As someone else said I need Space for Dummies. I get it but it takes me alot of time to figure it out.
Just ignore!

Hello Phage!!!
Nice to see of you again,.
Thought you left the planet

reply to post by Phage


Ahh Doctor itzz very good too see you again, my old nemisis,, but in a good scientific/hypothetical/theoretical/ism
kind of way.

Welcome Back

Now why are they scauwbling?(squabbling) do u mean passing Charges??

The current solar flare has made it to the mainstream news in the UK. The BBC reported it yesterday (though not in HUGE detail). Here's the link, I hope..!

Hmm, yes they were disappointingly, or rather predictably, slow on the uptake. Makes you wonder why we bother with mainstream media:

"We interrupt Strictly Come Dancing to bring some breaking news: The sun has just.........." END OF BROADCAST

Yes, it was a rather pathetic attempt. Maybe my post should've read, " finally" makes it...
But still, it was there.

haha havent really seen any change in activity from the x flare that should be hitting us now.

Density is really low and wind velocity is really low.

I have never seen either this high before.

After reading the space weather page at SDO I can clearly see there is a direct relationship
between our sun and the planet Earth. - SDO - Wealth of information - Knowledge is power
They should teach this information to thirsty minds in college.

So maybe the sun causes Global Warming and not the Al Gore Theory?

I read the flare should not reach our atmosphere until 10PM EST. However my pets are not normal today, very clingy, won't eat and quiet. The crows and ravens have returned in full force and are making all kinds of noise and flying in eratic cirlces. Perhaps the animals are feeling the effects first.
