NICT Real Time Magnetosphere Simulation is back up. Anyone seen it look like *this* before?

As I recall the "tangled" part is similar to what it looked like back in March when Fukushima went down.
Definitely time to bring in the tamatas.

8.7!!!

NICT just flatlined...

So did solarham...

If a sunspot 1302 were to let go now it could cause major havoc due the compression on the magnetic field. A strong CME hit followed closely by a solar flare is a worst case scenario.

Is ACE not working anymore? I'm pretty sure they all get their data from it.

A lot of red, there!

whats the big white spot here?? [link to www.gdgps.net]

The magnetogram image of the Sun looks like it is just ready to explode. It would not be any stretch of the imagination to think we may have a Earth facing Solar Flare within the next 48 hours.

This isn't anything special yet. Apperently this happen only 4 days every eleven years. If KP goes to 10, I shall eat my words. Here are your space weather scales.

The CME hit the side of Earth facing the Sun. That is the white spots.

I think this is the real deal! I don't know how we're going to know what's coming, or how NOAA is going to make predictions when ACE is not reporting data...

Can anyone find any recent data???

WTF that covers almost all of SA & S California so whats the effects from this?

its a SIMULATION!!!

Excellent Reference Material. THANKS! +Karma to you

The Ionosphere has been charged up so to speak from the CME hit roughly 3 hours ago. Basically there is now a soft spot in the magnetosphere which would be vulnerable to a solar fare or gamma ray burst.

just jumpin in right now but...HOLY SHIIIITTTTT! i had to go through the pictures from this morning so here is a good link for anyone that didn't catch it earlier: [link to www2.nict.go.jp]

i never *have* seen it like that. i'm no expert but i have watched that site for a couple years now, daily.

it also still looks pretty strange right now, if you ask me. glad its finally back on.

So you mean to say if that same area is hit by another flare then the SA & S Cali will fry?

ok, this is now the worst i've seen it in at least a year.

earth getting blasted AGAIN red and white!!

Wow! Check it out now! It's off the chart, and the Ionospheric Convection is like nothing I have ever seen. Something just hit...

OMFG im freaking out i have NEVER EVER seen it look like this and i have been keeping an eye on this since march 11th

omfG

poleshift ?

Like I said, I may worry if Kp hits 10 or over. But 5 stars since I'm following this very closely.

:( maybe its all true, maybe the feds and pres are going to denver bunker cause they were informed. this is deff somethign i have never seen before.

Wish the skies were clear in Maryland. Wondering how far south we'll see the Aurora tonight.

The ionospheric convection is off the charts!

all together, what are you thinking?

i am thinking it wont hold much longer....

I FUCKING knew I was on to something....
Thread: The Doom IS The Sun!

The info coming in now from Solarham, NICT, NOAA is way higher than I can remember. BUT as someone said earlier KP of 10 will be a bit scary.
Anyone know what will happen if we keep getting hits from all the other activity from 1302? Also yesterday ISWA was showing a direct hit on the 26th but I did not know from where?

This is seriously looking ugly right now.
