Breaking!!!A powerful solar eruption, the largest since May 2005 according to NOAA,

Green + for bondo......thanks for sharing..

Kill shot!

nope

So what happened in 2005? Nothing.

yeah, i was just thinking that myself. Did anything happen in 2005 that it's worth mentioning it's the largest since then? I don't recall any doom from 2005, but maybe I'm forgetting something??

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Just like all the thousands of solar flares which did jack shit...

Airplane from Brazil to Miami hits unprecedented turbulence!!!!

Vehicle Incident in Singapore on Sunday, 22 January, 2012 at 16:31 (04:31 PM) UTC



Seven passengers were treated for cuts and bruises after a Qantas Airways superjumbo hit severe turbulence en route from London to Singapore, the Australian airline said Sunday. The injuries are the latest blot on the airline’s record with the new Airbus A380.........

A strong S3 Level radiation storm is now in progress.
This is the strongest proton event since 2005!

As the strongest Solar Radiation Storm (S3) since May, 2005 continues, the associated Earthward-directed Coronal Mass Ejection is expected to arrive about 1400 UT (9am EST) Jan 24. SWPC has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch with G2 level storming likely and G3 level storming possible, with the storm continuing into Wednesday, Jan 25. All of this activity is related to a moderate (R2) Radio Blackout x-ray flare that erupted Sunday night (11pm EST).

How Do solar flares affect people and the Earth?

Caused by a strong Earth directed CME that was ejected early on Jan 23, 2012

:cmejan23:

RADIATION STORM IN PROGRESS: Solar protons accelerated by this morning's M9-class solar flare are streaming past Earth. On the NOAA scale of radiation storms, this one ranks S3, which means it could, e.g., cause isolated reboots of computers onboard Earth-orbiting satellites and interfere with polar radio communications. An example of satellite effects: The "snow" in this SOHO coronagraph movie is caused by protons hitting the observatory's onboard camera

Vehicle Incident in USA on Sunday, 22 January, 2012 at 04:52 (04:52 AM) UTC


A plane performed an emergency landing at Bradley International Airport Saturday after receiving a caution message. According to officials, ExpressJet flight 4895 returned to Bradley International Airport after take-off due to a left wing caution message.....

ive had headaches ,and more pain in my neck and back than ever in the last couple days especially last 12 hrs

Hey man' for all I know..... this could be some kind of terrist plot to cause order out of chaos. Don't believe everything you here about wide spread calimity....be safe please...peace out.

We survived 2005.

have they EVER re routed planes for this reason, or is some other game being played? I remember during previous solar maxes there being stuff much bigger than what is going on now.

Everyone, please STFU about this solar flare! It's not that big!

In modern times, the largest solar flare measured with instruments occurred on November 4, 2003. This event saturated the GOES detectors, and because of this its classification is only approximate. Initially, extrapolating the GOES curve, it was pegged at X28.[12] Later analysis of the ionospheric effects suggested increasing this estimate to X45.[13] This event produced the first clear evidence of a new spectral component above 100 GHz.[14] Other large solar flares also occurred on April 2, 2001 (X20),[15] October 28, 2003 (X17.2 & X10),[16] September 7, 2005 (X17),[17] February 17, 2011 (X2).[18][19][20] and August 10, 2011 (X6.9).[21] In 1989, during solar cycle 22 two large flares occurred on March 6 (X15) (see: March 1989 geomagnetic storm) and August 16 (X20) causing disruptions in electric grids and computer systems.[22] A complete list is available at [link to www.spaceweather.com]

What happened to us in 2003, and 2005, when the flare was many orders of magnitude larger...DID WE DIED?

SHUT THE @#@#$ UP ABOUT THIS STUPID SMALL FLARE YOU SUNTARDS!
