6th X-Class Flare, Many an M-Class
If this interests you please please, pickup a copy of Solar Rain from Earthchangestv.com. A 6th X Class solar flare has blasted off from the Sun as SOHO returns to give us a full view of the huge sunspot region now known as 808.
Don’t take my word for it, I’m of the opinion that these events affect our weather, if not then our power grids and our technology. I’m nowhere near expert in this subject, not even close to novice level but from looking at the recent 5 minute XRay graphs I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the sun is gearing up for something to almost match the Halloween storms of 2003, except blast the big one right at us. With no lack of power the huge sunspot that will be visible to the unaided eye (be careful, use filters) might turn to face earth with as much risk for X-Class flares as right now.
Urm and that might not be a good thing for the world! Let’s just say if a hurricane or troppical storm hit Iceland because of this, at least I partly called it, before it happened. Radiation storms continue, radio blackouts affect the polar regions, as this weekend the Aurora’s kick in. It’s exciting to see this happening, six major events in a few days, I’ve never seen it before and rumor (and it is that) rumor has it NASA doesn’t want to detail how much of a risk we face from a direct hit with a mega flare.
Spaceweather.com, their front page for today is dominated with solar activity, just a few days ago they were proclaiming the sun to be blank and inactive.
