Scientists: 'extreme' Solar Storm Heading To Earth

[guno]

WASHINGTON — Scientists say an extreme solar flare is blasting its way to Earth and could mess up some power grids, satellites and radio transmissions.

Forecasters at the Space Weather Prediction Center don't yet know when Wednesday's solar storm will arrive here and which part of the planet will be facing the sun and bear the brunt of the effects. It could be as early as Thursday morning to a few days.

If our internet goes out, we can always go out and watch the northern lights.

I hope it sends us all back to the 17th century. We will see who is better.

I don't get it.

What does this have to do with trying to galvanize hatred and resentment of Jews by Christians, guano?

You must be cleaning the white sheets today.

(Psssst: even bleach won't help clean yours, bud.)

Weird, how Matthew is always one of the first ones to make an appearance in a guano thread, isn't it?

Given their political views, one might be prone to think they wouldn't be especially partial to each other.

Gee.

Well you got the "crack" part right, at least.

Maybe it will hit the "other" part of the world if we're lucky.
Iran or Saudi would do nicely.

"STORM WARNING: A pair of CMEs is heading for Earth. The two solar storm clouds were launched on Sept. 9th and 10th by strong explosions in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158. NOAA forecasters estimate a nearly 80% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Sept. 12th when the first of the two CMEs arrives. Auroras are in the offing, possibly visible at mid-latitudes before the weekend..

EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Sunspot AR2158 erupted on Sept. 10th at 17:46 UT, producing an X1.6-class solar flare. A flash of ultraviolet radiation from the explosion ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, disturbing HF radio communications for more than an hour. More importantly, the explosion hurled a CME directly toward Earth. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory photographed the expanding cloud:

Radio emissions from shock waves at the leading edge of the CME suggest that the cloud tore through the sun's atmosphere at speeds as high as 3750 km/s. That would make this a very fast moving storm, and likely to reach Earth before the weekend. Auroras are definitely in the offing. Stay tuned for a more detailed forecast in the hours ahead."
