Great Youtube channel for daily solar flare reports

I've been following the Youtube channel drkstrong for quite a while now so I thought I might just give him a shout out here on ATS. He gives great in-depth and professional daily solar reports with awesome visuals! I want him to keep up the good work so I figured a bit of extra exposure might be cool

If you're like me and want a heads-up on any flare activity then I would definately recommend subscribing!


Anyways, here is a sample:

Thanks for the share. Another fantastic daily report is from suspicious0bservers.



I can't go a day without his report!

Why would you want that? What's the point?

wrathofall - great link, thanks! I'll subscribe to both

Why would you want that? What's the point?

a) CMEs don't travel that fast, I think it would be handy to have a day or so warning that a giant CME is going to blast the Earth, take out the power grids and make it impossible to withdraw cash from ATMs etc.

b) If a giant CME is headed our way I plan to put my laptop in the microwave as protection. Then once all other digital media has been destroyed I will bring it out. The world will then have no choice but to listen to my awesome music collection as all other modern digital music has been destroyed.
I may have to develop a vinyl eating parasite to destroy all vinyl records.
I will be praised by all and most likely be made king of the Earth.

Just keep the plan B between us though okay?

Okay the music thing made me laugh. I retract my cynicism.

Wait 'til you hear my plan C for a zombie outbreak! I won't give it all away but let's just say it involves a criminal + zombie treadmill powered renewable energy source

You can get very nearly realtime data on solar flares here.

Oh look, an M5 (or 6) a few hours ago.

Great link, thanks mate - bookmarked

aaand boom! We just had an X1

I still like the links though, the helioscope images are amazing and it helps to have someone more knowledgable than me to analyse and interpret the data into a nice 3 min vid - and I usually check my youtube subs as part of my morning news ritual.. which seems to be getting longer and longer
