M7.1 3664
This is from 3664 earth facing?
So, my Carrington app says this flare has lasted 555 minutes. Is this unusual? I've been watching space weather only a year or two and I've not seen anything like this before.
Oh and this current sunspot is the same size as when the Carrington event took place View attachment 473837
No it is not let's hope there isnot a repeatWell that's not good!
He’s not an alarmist, if he’s going for supplies that is a significant dot.Ben Davidson upped his prediction of a solar kill shot to 8-10 percent. He said he is heading to the store to buy more prepping supplies now. I think my hair is on fire...
Indeed.He’s not an alarmist, if he’s going for supplies that is a significant dot.
What's the conversion for Zulu time?
Eastern time is +4, so 1100 Eastern is 1500 Zulu or GMTWhat's the conversion for Zulu time?

Ummm okay, yikes.He’s not an alarmist, if he’s going for supplies that is a significant dot.
I wonder what percentage of tb2k folks read this subforum. It's a shame for so many to miss out on the dooooooom. Especially if this is the end of the grid.
Only a few degrees off from the big one!That's hair-raisingly similar in size, shape and position. Shiver...

Posted this just before he left for the store... said more to follow this afternoon.Ben Davidson upped his prediction of a solar kill shot to 8-10 percent. He said he is heading to the store to buy more prepping supplies now. I think my hair is on fire...
That Carrington overlay is misleading. It follows what ever sunspot they are comparing it to.That's hair-raisingly similar in size, shape and position. Shiver...

For those asking which side of Earth it will hit. 3PM CST is day side, facing the sun, so yeah, I would think that side of earth pretty much...
X2.2 Solar Flare and Strong Storm Watch |
May 9, 2024 @ 09:10 UTC (UPDATED) |
AR 3664 does it again with a long duration X2.2 solar flare peaking at 09:13 UTC (May 9). Coronal dimming is already evident meaning this flare will likely be the source of a fourth Earth directed CME. The geomagnetic storm watch for this weekend was upgraded to the Strong (G3) level and this latest event could add even more fuel to the storm. Aurora sky watchers rejoice, it may be a great weekend! Fourth Halo CME Confirmed: Updated coronagraph imagery following the X2.2 solar flare confirms that a fourth halo CME was produced and appears Earth directed. With now four plasma clouds expected to pass Earth, the chances for a strong geomagnetic storm this weekend just increased. |
