***Geomagnetic Storm ALERT***

this should trigger an EATquake




look for M or X class flaring in aprox. 12 hours -just a hunch

PRESTO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM Thu Jan 26 2006, 1407 UT
Active region Catania#99 (NOAA0848) is decaying and has now a simpler beta magnetic configuration. Therefore, we expect a low solar activity with only a slight chance of C flare. The geomagnetic activity rose temporarily to active levels in the last few hours due to a new rise of the solar wind speed, associated with a negative Bz, that was not expected. Now, the speed has stabilized at 550km/s, with the Bz component fluctuating between + and - 10 nT. Although, the geomagnetic field is now back to unsettled levels, we predict unsettled to active conditions for the next 24 hours, then followed by a decay to quiet to unsettled conditions.

Take notice:

" ....that was not expected. "

Means they don't know the origin this time!

AURORAS! Last night, for no particular reason, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth tipped south. This caused a hole to open in Earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind energy to slip through. The result: beautiful auroras over Scandinavia.

"This caused a hole to open in Earth's magnetic field"

Hummm

yeah i do not see any evidence that this has come from the Sun

PLANET X?!!!!

Somewhere there is a universe collapsing.

I wonder what the NASA update will tell us tonight.

the magnetic fields goes in and out of phase, prior to collapse. Things appear, then disappear.

The Naggas, Agarthi factions will make their play then, from the South Pole.

Anyway...!

From yesterdays forecast:

Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.

Nuthole is a perfect handle for you OP
I assume Dilatoriness also means Nuthole?

Do you folks actually watch the sun? or just the alerts.

We have been inside a coronal hole wind stream. There is usually a peak when we enter the stream and another when we leave.

Unexpected?? sheeesh.

"yeah i do not see any evidence that this has come from the Sun"

What rubbish.

Good thing you tards weren't around for the last Solar Max.

WAS THE LAST ONE JUST AS LAME ?

"Good thing you tards weren't around for the last Solar Max."

Oh Boy

Don't think that earth's magnetic field is collapsing.
The interest is directed to the unknown origin of that solar storm condition, neither an earth directed CME nor a coronal hole could have caused this currently.

" We have been inside a coronal hole wind stream. "

Solass basher:
That was days ago!

Look at the left of this graph, that shows when your coronal hole impacted earth:

PURE LIGHT love it!

And the ".. that was not expected." comment even came from here:
[link to sidc.oma.be]

Sol-ass check the sources before you start to shoot next time.

Dil, Earth is still inside the wind stream from the coronal hole.

I don't think they 'don't know the origin', rather it was the 'rise of the solar wind speed, associated with a negative Bz', that was not expected.

The wind speed has actually gone up since they wrote that. It is now 619.

"neither an earth directed CME nor a coronal hole could have caused this currently"

Please watch the sun a bit more before you make ridiculous statements like that.

This is exactly what happens with a coronal hole wind stream.

I don't think so cause the coronal hole you are talking of faced earth six days ago already.
That wind stream cannot last that long.

Look where that not very severe coronal hole is located currently:

It almost has reached the western limb.

as can be seen here

the speed was at normal 24 hours ago

solarmax first off you are an ASS

2nd i have been studying the sun for a LONG time i have 32gig of images and data that you have not or will not ever even see


blow your coronal hole out yours

A recurrent trans equatorial coronal hole (CH206) was in an Earth facing position on January 21-23.
You do realize that it takes 2-3 days for this wind stream to reach earth?

Whats the problem?

Wind speed still on the rise:

Wind speed started to rise further at 10Am UT today at:

"You do realize that it takes 2-3 days for this wind stream to reach earth?

you are so wrong it takes between 20-30 hours


do the math

Well that will explain why my bloody WiFI link was so titted this afternoon. Skype went dead. Surfing dead. Awful.

"look for M or X class flaring in aprox. 12 hours -just a hunch"
"2nd i have been studying the sun for a LONG time i have 32gig of images and data that you have not or will not ever even see"

You have been watching sol for a long time and you expect M or X class flares in 12 hours from an almost blank solar disc?
You clearly have no knowledge of coronal holes OR sunspots.

And you call ME an ass?

"AURORAS! Last night,"

Go back to that link. Scroll down and look at the caption under the picture of the coronal hole on the left.

Yeah, the wind has increased in just the last few minutes from my last post. Looks like it's holding steady at 626 now but the negative Bz has dropped slightly. [link to www.sec.noaa.gov]

And that's why the geomagnetic storm has dropped from G2 to G1.

" was in an Earth facing position on January 21-23.
You do realize that it takes 2-3 days for this wind stream to reach earth? "

Can you calculate?
Should have subsided today then at least even if it took 3 days.

Wow
Relax
It'll all be over in a few hours.
Just before it gets good and dark here.
Please read up on coronal holes. This is normal.
