Oh good. I was worried we'd go a week without a doomsday prophecy.

Hey, what would the world be like without them?

As to the person submitting this. Uhm. Yeah. How is this any different from anything else thats destined to happen to this unforsaken, human ruled/being destroyed planet? Now. I will have to disagree on the joy I would feel if this were to happen, mainly because all this would bring is a few statistics of people dead, a LOT of people annoyed, many people not knowing how to survive because they crutch themselves on laziness, a lot of grids going boom. Eh. if anything like this ever happens, doomsday prophecies couldn't save us.

Just like some of you, I hate the doomsday threads, and all of the Carrington event threads as well, but to me this filament looks extremely large. IF, and that is only a small if, it were to hurl itself toward Earth, I agree that the consequences may be pretty drastic for our modern societies.

As long as it shoots another direction we will be fine. But you have to remember that although the sun is 93 million miles away, and being only slightly off from our trajectory can turn into many miles when the blast reaches us, this thing is still pretty big.

If I had to speculate, I still think the odds are in our favor, and that we don't have anything to worry about from this particular river of atomic-plasma-goo, but I suppose we will see. If it does hit, no one will be able to say "I told you so," because you won't have power, and therefore no internet.

Wow, that's a kick ARRRe image of the SUN. Awesome.

Guess will see what happens.

Good Post, and do not be intimidated by the slammers.
The event you describe is inevitable. It is only a question of alignment, pressure,
and time.

You do realise that the "Kindles" could possibly live up to their name and literally
combust in their owners hands.

Now That would be a hell of a Video Clip.

An event of this magnitude has occured before, However our Electronics were not so delicate then.
Now were they?

An event of the likeness that you have described may not occur in our lifetimes,yet it is a possibilty.
Please do not take this out of context, but in some ways it might be better if it did.

Not only would it be a wake up call, it would force the production of Faraday Style
protective circuitry. Furthermore, It would wake up Homeland Security to order AHEAD of time
the 160 or so necessary Grid Transformers that would, in a situation as dramatic as that,
be the Actual Definition of Homeland Security.

Beautiful Picture of the Surface of The Sun that you included.

It Really brightened up my night. S&F

Thank you all for your thoughts and for your answers very pertinent and well documented,I was thinking about how the banks were doing in such a case scenario,and what people do without credit cards....a dream come true for the occupy movement, a nightmare for the 1 percent,and the insurance companies....I know that the Ark of the Covenant it's a material object but what if that filament it's the Ark of the Covenant?

just a reminder about the following two Nasa statements..

Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field Discovered

"The opening was huge—four times wider than Earth itself," says Wenhui Li, a space physicist at the University of New Hampshire who has been analyzing the data. Li's colleague Jimmy Raeder, also of New Hampshire, says "1027 particles per second were flowing into the magnetosphere—that's a 1 followed by 27 zeros. This kind of influx is an order of magnitude greater than what we thought was possible."

New Solar Cycle Prediction

we know .. we know its a strangely low cycle..

"If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.

but being low..doent mean not being deadly..read here >

"Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013."

"The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013."

this as you can see..is not the common fearmongering..doom and gloom...this is all backed up by scientific evidence

we might be getting close to a replica of the 1859 event with the difference that we now have also a breach in the magnetosphere..our only defence mechanism

that seems haarp related...the breach is 4 times the size of earth keep that in mind

How long would we have, warning wise, from when the sun decided to cough up a nasty one at us to when it reaches us?
Usually, I plan my weekends depending on whether there was a solar flare (give or take 2 days and it should be nice weather), but I've also read that an EMP from the sun would hit us within 45 minutes.
Can anyone clarify?
There are a few large items I would like to purchase but not until I'm sure we're going to have a Carrington event. 2 days notice would do nicely. But if it was 45 minutes then I'd be out of look.

As it turned out, it wasn't the end of electronic civilization. From your source:

CME IMPACT: As predicted, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 12th at approximately 0600 UT. The impact caused ground currents in Norway and a brief flurry of auroras around the Arctic Circle, but otherwise had little effect. No big geomagnetic storms are in tthe offing. Aurora alerts: text, voice.

GRAND FILAMENT: A filament of magnetism more than 700,000 km long is curling around the sun's northeastern limb. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the vast structure during the early hours of Nov. 12th:

The most recent news is on top.

They are not consecutive - they are two different things. Read again.

You read again... as you will find charles made a post apologising for being wrong on the subject smart @ss

Thanks blossom goodchild.

Really, your going to bring OWS into this?

If the electrical grid is brought down then more then likely the people in OWS will be eating each other because there won't be any food to eat.

Sun


Bright shining sun,
Lighting the world,
The world revolving around you,
My world revolving around you,
Too much sun will burn,
Leave scars,
The scars heal in time,
But not enough sun,
Can cause near irreparable damage,
That can only be fixed by the sun,
The ever burning sun,
Who outshines the moon and the stars,
Who is not always good for me,
Not always best,
But the sun is what i need to survive,
So I must deal with the burns,
Heal within the light of the sun,
To see what is beyond,
I must have the sun,
To guide the way

Coulda, woulda, shoulda... more predictions..

Please advise me after the event if anything has happen to affect your or others lives.

tyvm.

After doing so checking on the net I found out that an EMP travels at the speed of light so you could be looking at as little as 8 minutes going by that.

The end of everything we have ever known...

Just another day in paradise.

TextFirst and foremost, the Sun has a natural cycle with a period of approximately 11 years. During the lifetime of each cycle, the magnetic field lines of the Sun are dragged around the solar body by differential rotation at the solar equator. This means that the equator is spinning faster than the magnetic poles. As this continues, solar plasma drags the magnetic field lines around the Sun, causing stress and a build up of energy (an illustration of this is pictured). As magnetic energy increases, kinks in the magnetic flux form, forcing them to the surface. These kinks are known as coronal loops which become more numerous during periods of high solar activity. This is where the sunspots come in. As coronal loops continue to pop up over the surface, sunspots appear too, often located at the loop footpoints. Coronal loops have the effect of pushing the hotter surface layers of the Sun (the photosphere and chromosphere) aside, exposing the cooler convection zone (the reasons why the solar surface and atmosphere is hotter than the solar interior is down to the coronal heating phenomenon). As magnetic energy builds up, we can expect more and more magnetic flux to be forced together. This is when a phenomenon known as magnetic reconnection occurs. Reconnection is the trigger for solar flares of various sizes. As previously reported, solar flares from “nanoflares” to “X-class flares” are very energetic events. Granted, the largest flares my generate enough energy for 100 billion atomic explosions, but don’t let this huge figure concern you. For a start, this flare occurs in the low corona, right near the solar surface. That’s nearly 100 million miles away (1AU). The Earth is nowhere close to the blast. As the solar magnetic field lines release a huge amount of energy, solar plasma is accelerated and confined within the magnetic environment (solar plasma is superheated particles like protons, electrons and some light elements such as helium nuclei). As the plasma particles interact, X-rays may be generated if the conditions are right and bremsstrahlung is possible. (Bremsstrahlung occurs when charged particles interact, resulting in X-ray emission.) This may create an X-ray f

The "numerologic" signs coming from the stock market are very clear. Something very big is really approaching.

Yes OK but the question it's what?I think we will find that very soon!!
