Three CME`s Likely to have major IMPACT on earth...also impact STEREO A, Mars and Mercury/MESSENGER

Kind of interesting that we are having major financial doom today, tomorrow space doom = martial law? I may be jumping the gun here but it sounds like the pieces are falling together. Global financial crisis mixed with power grid outages/satellite issues could be the perfect storm. Just sayin......

I am staying at home tomorrow, in the celler and under the pool table.

Some one please tell me the time frame for this in est...

Enjoy life.


EXACTLY. Well, depending on where you are of course. I'm in LA which is like a volcano ready to go off under the slightest prick.

I'm finally getting up into the mountains myself this month.

Look for large earthquakes. Those are large CME's coming right at us....more doom....

don't forget about the raw milk doom too!

I put up these graphs last year to have a zoomable chart of realtime data... feel free to play with them and use them in the future if you are a space geek like myself..

"the 1859 solar superstorm or the Carrington Event. It can be assumed that a massive Coronal mass ejection (CME), associated with the flare, was launched from the Sun and reached the Earth within eighteen hours — a trip that normally takes three to four days"

I don't think this one is as strong... but it happened
middle of the night last night and will be here by
tomorrow morning... ???

DOOM ON BABY!!!!!

I'm bringing my tomato plants in.

FRESH REAL DOOM !!

I`ve also had a link at one time that stated when sunspots are at 60 degrees west it is like a slingshot when the shoot out a cme...I even received an e-mail from the author of that link explaining it in detail...I will look for it..




Here is the professor`s e-mail from Berkly..now I will look for the article on how CME`s can speed up when launched from this point..

Protons are electrically charged particles, so they travel in helical paths around the magnetic field; they follow the magnetic field. The magnetic field is carried by the solar wind as it flows out radially from the Sun. The Sun rotates, so the solar wind (and therefore the magnetic field) traces a spiral path, similar to water from a rotating lawn sprinkler, . For the rotation rate of the Sun and the typical speed of the solar wind, the spiral that hits the Earth originates at about 60 degrees west on the Sun.

JPL has a time conversion tool......

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?

Actually there was one on Aug 1, one yesterday, and 2 today .. one in middle of the night and one this AM around 8 am . So this is 4 CME's arriving at once and seems they pushed the date of arrival up as the 2 today moved them along .. sorta like the info on the carrington event, that one was 2 at once , the 2nd pushing the first ahead of scheduled arrival .

We will be just fine... as it was posted, and reviewed on GLP, the GLP effect will come in action, dissabling all the DOOM.

Was thinking the same thing myself.

okay...UT is 6 hours ahead of est...7:55 Am Aug 5th plus minus 7 hours

so that's 1am to 3pm Est tomorrow

HAHAHAHAHAH!

Me too, and my neighbors...just to be on the safe side.

No... I mean yes

Oh and thanks for doing the math for my lazy butt

Well I've always been intrigued by the scientists/researchers who subscribe to the theory that these CME's create volcanic and tectonic activity on our earth, so this blast coming our way should definitely cause a major EQ or volcanic eruption (or both) if this theory is correct (and I am inclined to believe it is).

Not done yet either, still strong probability for more M class flares thru today up to the 6th.

or X class flare

Maybe even an X ?

Thought I saw that somewhere...

Sshhh.

Anyone can share a list of the biggest CME's till now?

haha can't forget about 1263.

batterys: check
bottled water: check
dry foods: check
candles : check
cat food: check

Found the article on what can speed up a CME/protons..

Back to the drawing board: If a CME didn't accelerate the protons, what did?

"We have an important clue," says Lin. When the explosion occurred, sunspot 720 was located at a special place on the sun: 60o west longitude. This means "the sunspot was magnetically connected to Earth."

He explains: The sun's magnetic field spirals out into the solar system like water from a lawn sprinkler. (Why? The sun spins like a lawn sprinkler does.) The magnetic field emerging from solar longitude 60o W bends around and intersects Earth. Protons are guided by magnetic force fields so, on January 20th, there was a superhighway for protons leading all the way from sunspot 720 to our planet.

"We've been hit by strong proton storms before, but [never so quickly]," says solar physicist Robert Lin of UC Berkeley. "Proton storms normally develop hours or even days after a flare."This one began in minutes.
