Thanks [/quote] Bz = North south directions of the solar winds imagine holding a balloon out in front of you, now tilt the top away from you now imagine that is earth, you are the sun now it you threw a handful of sand toward the top of the balloon, it would effect the balloon, but basically just glance off it but it you threw the sand at the bottom of the balloon that is facing you more, it would damage the balloon The harder you throw the sane, the more damage (best way i could think of right now to explain it) when the winds hit, if they go north, they glance off earth and continue on when the winds hit south, they impact with earths magnetic field and become geo effective Bz in the green (positive) = north winds Bz in the red (negative) = south winds check out my magnetosphere guide in my sig, it explains it all :) Thanks much :) here is the nict site to watch the magnetosphere http://www2.nict.go.jp/y/y223/simulation/realtime/index.html [/quote] [/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

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!
