[quote:shadasonic:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM5NjA4ODY5Xzk3MkNFREJG] [quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM5NjA4NjMwXzk5MTk4QzU0] Strange NASA/JPL Press Releases this month- [b]JUNO IS HALFWAY TO JUPITER:[/b] http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-246 Well, not really, [b]Juno is actually farther away from Jupiter than when it was launched.[/b]...I'm not joking either. I got curious when I noticed Juno on the ENLIL Cone Model (denoted by the gray square): http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080/IswaSystemWebApp/iSWACygnetStreamer?timestamp=2038-01-23+00%3A44%3A00&window=-1&cygnetId=261 When I looked into this a little more I discovered that Juno will buzz the Earth in October- within 400 miles of your hometown! How the heck is this "halfway-to-Jupiter"? It's all very understandable if you see the flight-path map. Juno went out to deep space past the orbit of Mars, turned around and came back towards Earth for a gravity-assist so it can speed back out to Jupiter by 2016. Juno map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Juno%27s_interplanetary_trajectory.jpg It just irks me that NASA always uses misleading headlines and catch-phrases as they talk down to the public as if we're all in grade school. You all know many of these dumb headlines get repeated and distorted all over the internets and YouTube. Think...'Giant Breach in Magnetosphere' , "Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield", "Collapse of Earth's Upper Atmosphere", and so on. These are all important and interesting discoveries, but none of these reports are as doomy or alarming as the sensational titles imply. I conclude that NASA must be deliberately promoting fear and ignorance. I'm not sure why..... http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2003/03dec_magneticcracks/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2008/16dec_giantbreach/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/29jun_hiddenportals/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/15jul_thermosphere/ [/quote] I'm not sure why..... I'm with you on this, fear and small bits of true info seem to be the course for our timeline of late? Somethings brewing, sun fear is at an alarming rise. My colleagues, those in the business side think its an attempt by the GOP to ruin the economy. I'm a passive fellow, but I almost had to clean a clock yesterday. It seems he believes the GOP is directing all this sun doom to kill the markets, yet he completely believes we are going to die from an event. Stupidity is so frustrating, but almost comical when you've got someone fighting themselves. Roses are red , violets are blue , I'm a schizophrenic and so am I! Sorry for the rant [/quote]

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
