SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

We won't know the true potential until almost 20 minutes before it hits Earth when the satellites are hit and send us their data, and only then if NASA doesn't shut them down in order to protect them (they've done it in the past).

Hi All ~

Did any of you get a screen shot of the radar last night when the big CME let loose?

The radar has been changed it appears.

This is the current radar.

If I have this right, think of it like this:
Our magnetosphere is a brick wall. The CME is a Mack truck. At 10 miles an hour, the truck hits the brick wall and little damage is done, maybe a little paint transfer. At 100 mph the brick wall becomes dust to just blow in the wind. This incoming CME is a pickup truck coming in at about 60 mph. If I have this wrong, please advise

Pretty lights, maybe a power outage or two that will never be linked to a solar storm, a few quakes.

For me, that this will happen during a full moon, how much bigger will the quakes be?

WTH ???

Nice catch Trink ....

NASA has again changed their prediction for arrival time (this the 3rd so far). Of course they keep all 3 three posted on the alert cygnet so they'll be right no matter when it hits, haha.

They should BOTH be on there, it's the same time frame .... they best be having issues with the program, because that it is blatant mis-info !!!!

Hear that NASA ???!!!

I'm not convinced that all of these are meant to be updates on the original CME. The original post shows the CME erupting at 0120 UTC, the one you are displaying shows a CME erupting at 1028 UTC. Even NASA doesn't get 9 hours worth of confused about when a CME began.

I think some, if not all, of these posts are separate CME's.

And sure a lot faster than I am at it, lol!! (((hugs)))

I agree, these CMEs are getting confused, however iSwa has also shown multiple eruptions simultaneously without issue or omitting one or the other.

I edited out that post, I don't feel I understand that cygnet well enough to speak on it :)
