Due to spike at 11AM today. Lasting most of rest of the day.

Persons with compromised CNS conditions, such as MS, may wish to avoid the light at that time.

Note: flares are measured in classes C, M and X. C being the smallest and X being the largest.

X-FLARE: New sunspot AR1598 has erupted again. On Oct. 23rd at 0322 UT, Earth orbiting satellites detected a strong X1-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:



Radiation from the flare created waves of ionization in the upper atmosphere over Asia and Australia (the daylit side of Earth) and possibly HF radio blackouts at high latitudes. The blast did not, however, produce a significant coronal mass ejection (CME). No auroras are expected to result from the blast.

This is the 4th significant flare from AR1598 since it emerged over the southeastern limb only two days ago. This means more flares are probably in the offing, and they will become increasingly Earth-directed as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead. Stay tuned for updates.

Did I mention that one possible outcome of this long solar storm is the start of the next ice age?

Has this suspended filament collapsed yet? What's the story on major solar storms in December knocking out the electrical grids?

And coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — huge eruptions of solar plasma that streak into space at 3 million mph (5 million kph) or more — can be even more troublesome. CMEs that hit Earth can knock out GPS signals, radio communications and power grids.

A powerful, well-aimed CME could thus wreak serious havoc on our increasingly tech-enabled and tech-dependent society. But it wouldn't destroy the planet or wipe out humanity, researchers said.

You have mass (CME) striking the earth at three million miles per hour ..

Have you noticed the increase in sinkholes being reported? Mild ripples in the crust ..

The San Madrid fault seems to be waking up.

Recently the gulf of Mexico warmed up. Hitting 100F from Houston to the Mississippi river. Supposed to be magma movement beneath an extinct volcano.
