[quote:Anonymous Coward 16845676:MV8yMTMzOTgzXzM2MDI0NDI2XzRENTQ3MjUw] NASA is predicting that the coming solar maximum could produce very energetic solar flares and coronal mass ejecta. These events have the potential to cause significant damage to our power grid as well as our orbiting satellites. But how do we know what to expect? http://space.about.com/od/sunsol/a/History_Of_Solar_Flares.htm :hiding: [/quote]
Original Message
The bulk of the cloud looks like it will sail north of Earth. Nevertheless, a glancing blow is possible as shown in this 3D model of the CME prepared by analysts at the Goddard Space Flight Center. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on Feb. 12th when the CME passes by. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.
