my2centsworth User ID: 5382682 Canada 01/23/2012 05:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to Earth Changes Media Site (that is a membership site) to see if there was anything posted about this flare.. there was. snip “What’s special about this event is the coronal mass ejection that erupted is by far the fastest Earth-directed event of this solar cycle,” Biesecker said. And speed matters. The faster a cloud of plasma travels, the bigger its impacts on Earth. Hesse said that NASA systems sent an automated solar storm alert to satellite operators and the Electric Power Research Institute. Hesse also notified the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy on Monday morning. “It’s not going to be a catastrophe, but there could be noticeable geomagnetic current induced on the electrical grid,” Hesse said. Disruptions to GPS signals and the power grid could extend far south, Hesse said. But he said that estimating the spread of the impact was difficult. end of snips. [link to www.earthchangesmedia.com] You can go to this site and see the preliminary comments that lead up to the info I've copied and pasted here.. (far less than 50% copied) and on that site, they attribute the info to the Washington Post, for those that would like to see more info. edit: I think this is worth pinning.. and since it's heading to the bottom of page one, and not pinned yet..I'll pin it myself. Great video OP..everyone should see this. Last Edited by my2centsworth on 01/23/2012 05:22 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1509366 United States 01/23/2012 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whats the big deal? Looks like a proton event and a rather weak one at that! Seems most of you did not watch the C2-C3 gifs from 1998-2002 that were really incredible...especially the X29 and x40 flares and their proton events.... they whited out the ccd displays for 2 days! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8455604 Wake me up when we have powerful events like those...until the its back to sleep Neither of those were squarely directed at our planet. The point I was making is that that shit flying at the cameras is flying in mass at a high velocity right at our little fragile earth with it's sick weakened little magnetosphere. If it is flying at the cameras then it will not hit Earth since the SOHO satellites are far away from us. How do you know it is travelling at the Earth? |
