Today's update from SpaceWeather.com -

http://spaceweather.com/

The CME clouds are due to hit sometime today with likely additional impact from the near X class solar flare. Some interesting guff related to this phenomenon, which is starting to ramp up in frequency since the "big sleep"...


Maybe the flares have started earlier than expected?

Tin hat on for the next 12 years....
 
Update on the 3rd & biggest flare eruption...


Expected arrival Eastern Standard Time is sometime between approx. 9pm last night to 11am this morning. http://spaceweather.com/

I find it sorta ironic that the first big tsunami wave of what I expect to become GFCII hit last night too...
 
Could be really interesting times if this solar flare causes major havoc with our electronics and power supplies. This post offers an excellent insight into what happened in 1859 when there was a huge flare and discusses the current situation as well.

(Good luck to all if this goes bad .)

And what's the guess that this will be used by pro carbon tax people that this (like the floods, etc) are all part of global warming and it's all man's fault and we should be taxed even higher...

And if it's man's fault, hopefully women, children and animals are exempt...

Although, on second thoughts, basilio posted an article relating to the 1859 solar flare, so it can't be anything to do with us as life was very different 152 years ago.
 

Interesting point and good thread Aussiejeff.

... btw (as I have often mentioned) I don't believe in (random) coincidences. There is always a reason why things happen. Cause and effect.

While a few are aware of the effects on our weather, there is much yet to be understood about the cosmos and it's effects on Earth and animal, especially human behaviour in particular.
 
Interesting thread. I think the natural world always gives signs. Like global warming for example - it's not that it's caused by man-made emissions, but there's every chance it's a reflection of man's collective unconscious.

On a broad scale, it looks like man is going to have to evolve really quickly to survive as a species. There's no God up there who could care less if man lives or dies off completely, so forget that. When I say evolve, I mean evolve beyond the 'cause and effect' level of existence. 'Cause and effect' is basically what karma is. And karma is a real bitch until you realize it's not real. To come to that realization takes massive leaps of (inner) evolution. While humans continue to live at that 'cause and effect' level, all wealth and prosperity and happiness must, MUST be balanced by depression, poverty and hard times. Life's a bitch in that way. Things are cycling with greater and greater intensity, in both directions.

A call to arms!
 
Glad I did not notice anything bad, maybe except felt bit sleepy around midday.

No matter what we do in 5.5 billion years life on Earth, or what's left of it, will be wiped out by run out of fuel Sun that will expand and possibly melt the planet Earth, or at least catastrophically increase temperature.
 

Cest la vie!

We are all made from star stuff, primal elements created billions of years ago (hydrogen, helium, oxygen etc) - the original building blocks of the Universe!

So we eventually convert back to star stuff atoms when we "die". "Death" is simply the first stage of conversion of our organisms back to the elemental building blocks. Our atoms don't die - only stars can fuse them into other elements - it's just our human conscious state that is "no more".

I find that totally eloquent and comforting.

Champers for all!

PS: You should watch professor Brian Cox's final episode of The Amazing Universe on ABC1, if you haven't seen the previous 3 episodes (might be on Iview). Prof. Cox is an eminently knowledgable young guy with a background in Physics & Astrophysics who I have a lot of respect for. He is much like a younger version of Prof. Carl Sagan, who was without a doubt one of the greatest geniuses of our time.
 
It hit just south of Townsville at 1016 this morning.

Between Giru and Woodstock, communication and power assets were compromised.

All returned to normal by 1142.

I think the solar flare hit Wayne Swan, he was on the radio saying don't worry he is in charge and looking after our money.LOL
 
It was so cloudy down here today that a bit of solar activity would have been a good thing. People were driving around with headlights on early in the afternoon, and the street lights were on by 4pm. A very overcast day that's for sure.
 
A personal best daily output from my solar panels today.

They were smokin.
 
Some more gleaned info...

Seems we got off lightly again.

"Tin hats - off!

Stand at - ease!

Dis-missed!"

 
More announcements this morning .....

Over & out....
 
All that I can report is that it is a nice day to do the gardening.
 
Flare - biggest in 5 years (and growing) going to hit at 4pm today.

All electrical grids from across the world will explode and the earth will descend into chaotic hell.
