Gold is best.
The ancients wore gold helmets, beaten-thin gold arm bands, huge gold necklaces and breast plates that covered the heart for a reason.

Incoming

People still look to them for credible info? I'll have doubt about them telling the weather till I look myself and anything else as long as DC is handing them what to read.

Yikes


But while sunspot AR1520 may sound like a solar behemoth, it is actually a relatively modest sunspot example, and promises more sun storms to come, Dean Pesnell, project scientist for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, told SPACE.com.

"It's certainly not done. It's only halfway across the face of the sun right now," Pesnell said from the Goddard center in Greenbelt, Md., which oversees the sun-watching SDO mission. "We'll be able to watch it from the Earth for at least another week."

you missed 'serious' out there Skip!

REVISED FORECAST: The CME launched toward Earth by yesterday's X-flare is moving faster than originally thought. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab have revised their forecast accordingly, advancing the cloud's expected arrival time to 09:17 UT (5:17 am EDT) on Saturday, July 14th. Weekend auroras are likely.

Might see auroras here in Texas.
If your up early check for them in the morning.

Okay who's up for some sun gazing tomorrow morning?

I am usually awake by 6am but thinking about setting my alarm in the morning and getting up around 5:00.

Solar storm incoming: Federal agencies provide inconsistent, confusing information

NOAA and NASA’s predictions about the CME also differ on timing. Last night, NOAA was forecasting a 1 a.m. Saturday arrival of the CME while NASA projected a 6:20 a.m arrival. NOAA has since revised its estimate to 9:00 a.m. NASA tweaked its estimate to 5:17 a.m.

The differences in these predictions raise the question why two government agencies aren’t coordinating and issuing one clear, consistent forecast along with estimates of the uncertainty.

Consider this scenario: A hurricane is approaching the East Coast. What if one U.S. government agency predicted the storm would make landfall as a category 1 to maybe category 2 storm, at worst, while another agency forecast the storm to reach the category 2, 3 or even 4 level? Imagine the widespread confusion that would ensue. How would anyone know if and how to prepare?

Good question.

Exactly. Whether or not this is a dangerous situation today, this inconsistency needs to be addressed!!! And soon.

Let’s see who can get the very last reply in, before we are reciting GLP threads around a campfire in the presence of our grandchildren.
