NICT Real Time Magnetosphere Simulation is back up. Anyone seen it look like *this* before? | |
DebbiesPooh  User ID: 1790135  United States09/26/2011 08:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what's so big about it? Can someone who knows explain this to someone that's never payed attention to these graphs before? What's the significance? Any doom perhaps?? Basically out natural force field seems to be damn near non-existent. This means when the CME from the Xflare gets here in a few days we will have nothing to protect the power grid. Oh shit  Glad I just finished backing up laptop and desktop onto the external drive and got that baby tripled wrap. Don't feel like loosing tons of Gigs and 13 years worth of data. Hope others are protected :-) Last Edited by DebbiesPooh on 09/26/2011 08:31 AM |

| MARTIAL LAW User ID: 1282080 United States09/26/2011 08:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | wow 40% chance of x-flare in next 48 hours? I don't know much about this stuff...is not usually that high is it?? And is the sunspot earth facing? ah! nevermind: "Flares from AR1302 will become increasingly geoeffective as the sunspot turns toward Earth in the days ahead."

| DebbiesPooh User ID: 1790135 United States09/26/2011 08:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So, not only do we have to worry about the sun, we have to worry about more fireballs and space junk getting in, right? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1552815 Looks that way. Read a thread yesterday about all the meteors out there. Seems we had one pass by yesterday and I believe another one today...................sigh Be safe!!!!!!! |
| Dissonant cog User ID: 1502364  United Kingdom09/26/2011 08:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Find a lot of twitterers talking about it - some who watch magnetoshere regularly are freaking. Think lovely thoughts peeps.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1552815 United States09/26/2011 08:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For what it's worth, guess what I found under my car this morning? No shit, completely freaked me out...remember the black stone from the movie, Knowing? I do realize that it was just a movie but wouldn't you freak out a little after seeing that? I've never even seen a stone like that around here, even though, I know they exist. So, if the shields are down and we get hit by the Draconid meteor shower around October 8th, does that mean that we could get more impacts? Do you think they can do anything to fix the shields? |

| Ostria1 User ID: 1533591  Greece09/26/2011 08:53 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So what does this mean? The enhanced ionization produced by incoming energetic protons increases the absorption levels in the lower ionosphere and can have the effect of completely blocking all ionospheric radio communications through the polar regions. Such events are known as Polar Cap Absorption events (or PCAs). Nasa seems to follow the protons for a couple of days now. Anyway check the 2 hours data here (KEV station is the northest so it is the most affected) [link to www.ava.fmi.fi] Ostria |

| thesleeper User ID: 1396872 United States09/26/2011 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its calming now. I've been observing this site for about six years. I've never seen it with so little pressure. The low pressure allowed the magnetic band to more in front it appears. X-Flare.

Things could really get interesting. Please stay safe everyone and keep an eye on the charts. The best way to be prepared is to know what's coming and know what's happening. No big surprise that they haven't but MSM should let people know that they should pay a little more attention to things right now. |
