Anonymous Coward User ID: 11541429 United States 11/14/2012 01:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Holy shit, I thought I just smoked too much weed! The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval. The label 'K' comes from the German word 'Kennziffer' meaning 'characteristic digit.' The K-index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1938. |

We ar currently under a geomagnatic storm from an m class flare. More could be in the ofting. Go to Spaceweather.com for all the details. They even have an Auora map. Put it into your favorites and go see it everyday then maybe just maybe you won't have to wonderor ask whats going on anymore. You would no or is that to difficult to ask or to do. I find it amazing with all the information on the Internet how ignorant some of you are about things like this. Its not a complicated site. Ignorance is not bliss and it beats coming here and ending up getting misinformed by someone who's guessing. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26307044 In short, we are having a geo magnetic storm. Can cause troubles with electrical system. Power, satellites, earthquakes. You may feel some ringing or buzzing in your head. Story we are going with for now till the experts wake up and tell us... The sun shot off several m class flares that kinda rippled together and went past us yesterday. This event looks like we (earth) are flying through that path of charged particles which is inducting into the earths magnetic field. What does it all mean? Keep your eyes open. Something is happening. The end result may be nothing more that lights in the sky. Just keep your eyes open. |
