look we're still here/

Give it 17 hours to 4 days time for it to hit us. So your statement proves nothing, it is just biased and hollow.

are you dumm light from the sun travels in 8 minutes and the speed of light is 3x10to the power of 8 metres per second and each flare is a composite of particles which does not i repeat does not travel at that speed so it will take anywhere from 17hours to 4 days ,,, learn something once in a while u dumass

No, thats the speed of light. This is different. About 17-48 hours time to travel to hit us. It could be today, tomorrow or the next day when it hits.

Watch Time: Now until May 26th at 24:00 UTC (midnight)
 Quoting: ºCRAPº


if this is a CME, or 'killshot'

will there be a warning issued?

if not, is there a website where there could be more info on tracking info such as these bursts

Lets clarify something here for the idiots who are posting in this thread.

This poses a very real threat.


[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]

Thats one of the biggest solar flares ive ever seen, CRAP, your obviously a man who researches the sun, have you ever seen one this big facing earth? Its epic.

What the hell is with the epic doom lately, First the oil spill and now this. The combination of both could be truly cataclysmic.

CRAP Are you absolutely certain this thing is pointing at earth? I cant research the bloody thing because my internet is so slow, so you are my eyes and my ears. This is not the time for speculation, if this thing is coming our way i gotta ring my girlfriend and have sex quick!
We are now longer in the final hour, we are in the final minute. God bless you all. Hold peace in your hearts and the great shelter of life shall be your protection.

Coronal Mass Ejections range in speed from about 20 km/s to 3,200 km/s with an average speed (based on SOHO/LASCO measurements between 1996 and 2003) of 489 km/s.

This one will be on the higher end of the scale due to the velocity and force of the filiment slamming back into the sun. This one will come fast.

Can anyone check and see how our polirty is at the moment?

My understanding is that in all likelyhood there would not be a warning, until it is pretty much upon us. So first, they have to assess the threat. Once they figure out how bad it is, they kind of send out warnings to certain organizations, verifying the findings.

If there were any type of warning, it might be something to the effect of, try to get home in a timely manner, with very minor clues as to what is actually transpiring.

Here are the "relative" positions of stereo A & B

[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]

This could be earth directed. Why? Speculation - The visual intensity on the ahead image is much higher than that of Stereo Behind, which means it is farther from Stereo B, and therefore, closer to Stereo A

Does that make it earth directed? NO, but it means its a pretty good chance it is, or at least it will be a glancing blow.

It is the Explosion on the LEFT, not the right. The cme on the right is not earth facing.

It also looks like it will be a straight shot towards us. We've had cme's before, though I'm not aware of a filament hitting us before.

RADIATION?

RADIATION?


Solar flares affect all layers of the solar atmosphere (photosphere, corona, and chromosphere), heating plasma to tens of millions of kelvins and accelerating electrons, protons, and heavier ions to near the speed of light. They produce radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays.

The pattern seems primed for impact around when Atlantis returns currently scheduled for May 26, expressing 'Lucifer Contact'. If a certain 'Monolith sequence' continues (which is 3 for 3 so far) this is rather 'earthshaking' in nature with a particularly strong resonance with Haiti. Possible scenarios include another deadly earthquake, Atlantis destruction/emergency, as well as (perhaps most important) the oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico entering a critical phase with the success or failure of the planned 'top kill' method

Does anyone know of any "sun watcher" or astronomy forums where experts and scientists congregate? Somewhere that might have a little more of a tempered or professional outlook to what's going on?

Somewhere not quite so sky-is-falling?

I'd love to read the experts' opinions.
