So when I used it I discovered that 13:55 UT translates to 08:55 EST with a 7 hour window on either side. Basically it will be anywhere between 01:00 and 15:00 tomorrow. Do I even NEED to remind you about the tomato plants? [/quote]

UPDATE: This morning's M9-class eruption propelled a CME toward Earth. Moving at an estimated speed of 1950 km/s, the cloud is expected to sweep up two earlier CMEs already en route. Analysts at the GSFC Space Weather Lab say the combined triple-CME should reach Earth on August 5th at 13:55 UT plus or minus 7 hours.
"The impact on Earth is likely to be major: the estimated maximum geomagnetic activity index level Kp is 7 (Kp ranges from 0 - 9).
The flanks of the CME may also impact STEREO A, Mars and Mercury/MESSENGER."
