[quote:Merlin's Mom:MV8xNjMwNDA4XzI2OTIxNTE0Xzg2NDE0Nzk2] [quote:saturn12:MV8xNjMwNDA4XzI2OTIwOTIzXzgyQUUxRkY3] what will happen to earth if that happens? [/quote] At best some lovely auroras seen in lower latitudes than is usual. "Eventually those field lines "break" and snap back toward the earth on the nightside. It is this process transferring solar wind energy into magnetic energy and thence into energy flowing into the earth's atmosphere as the magnetic field lines "snap" that drives the aurora. The aurora occur at the feet of the "last closed field line", which defines the auroral oval." http://web.mit.edu/8.02t/www/802TEAL3D/visualizations/magnetostatics/magnetospherefar/magspherefar.htm http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/imf.html [/quote]
Original Message
"Recent X and M flares have already sent particles to the Earth and the slow moving Coronal Mass Ejections (or CMEs) have cleared the solar wind creating the conditions for a “fast mover” (not quite different from Ocean waves which have been crazy lately!) that will snap the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) right over the Earth very fast from a Coronal Hole Wind Stream (CHWS). This will be the one to watch, folks. The arrival will take place approx 9/11/11."
