Neither here nor there.
Umm are you saying the earth is flat? Cause if so…Careful, or someone will yell "MOCKERS AND SCOFFERS!", the magic phrase that means "Disagree with me and you disagree with God!"

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, cuz there's a better than average chance of it lol### **5. November 4, 2003 - X28+ Flare**
- **Details:** The largest solar flare ever recorded, it originated from sunspot region 486 as it was rotating off the solar disk. While not fully Earth-facing, it had some peripheral effects.
- **Impact:** Limited due to its position, but still caused minor disturbances.
Yeppers. It is getting weaker because the Magnetic Field is collapsing. Then at some point in the future it will flip, somewhere, and there will be a different N and S pole. Back in the early 2000's there was talk here on TB about the shifting N Pole talk for years because that is when the N Pole started to shift, the N Pole started to gyrate like crazy for 6 weeks then there was the Anda Bachi EQ and tsumani happened, then the N Pole started to move.Every month the earth's magnet field gets weaker, and what used to be a trivial X7 will eventually be a catastrophic X7.
This is from a NASA site. Lol. How their tune has changed. They always said it was estimated to be a X28 CME (not a flare), up to this article anyway. It was the Europeans who estimated it as an X 45. (Major Ed Dames had been on Art Bell I think 3 times in a row, telling Art to watch the sun Art, watch the sun, 2003. Then the fabled Shot Across the Bow took place, and that X45 shot across the path of our planet by two days. Truly a shot across the bow.Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, cuz there's a better than average chance of it lol
But I thought the Carrington event was like an x40 or 45 or something equally off-the-charts mind boggling.
an x28 is the largest one ever recorded?
That's my understanding, that our 'force field shields' that protect us from much of the intensity of solar flares and CME's are getting ever weaker and recently even quicker so.Every month the earth's magnet field gets weaker, and what used to be a trivial X7 will eventually be a catastrophic X7.

That list is woefully incomplete.Here is a list of Earth-facing X-class solar flares, including their sizes and dates, since the year 2000 up to my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. X-class flares are the most intense category of solar flares, and when they are Earth-directed, they can have significant effects on space weather, including geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, and auroras.

**Notes:**
- **Solar Flares and Impact:** Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation emanating from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. X-class flares are the most potent, and when accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) directed toward Earth, they can significantly impact space- and ground-based technological systems.
- **Geomagnetic Storms:** These are disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere caused by solar wind shocks and CMEs. They can disrupt power grids, satellite operations, GPS navigation, and radio communications.
- **Auroras:** High-energy particles from solar flares interacting with Earth's magnetic field cause auroras, commonly seen near polar regions but can be visible at lower latitudes during strong geomagnetic storms.
**Limitations:**
- **Knowledge Cutoff:** This list includes events up to my last update in September 2021. Any Earth-facing X-class solar flares occurring after this date are not included.
- **Data Sources:** Information is based on records from agencies such as NASA and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). For the most recent events and detailed analyses, refer to their official releases.
- **Variability in Impacts:** The impact of each flare can vary based on factors like the flare's exact location on the sun, the associated CME's speed and direction, and Earth's magnetic field conditions at the time.

What question?Since I have access to Open AI o1a. I thought I would ask it this question. This is its answer
From what I'm reading, the annular eclipse tomorrow will only be visible in the South Pacific and very southernmost tip of South America--Right on Que. October 2nd is the beginning of the Jewish New Year right? And they have the ring of fire eclipse directly over the new Capitol of Jerusalem Trump helped create. And it's Ule 39? iirc the day debts are forgiven. Maybe tomorrow makes up for the missing 2022 stock mark crash that never happened.
only if it slips off of your crackerMy only question is will it cause cheese to melt?
Probably caused by a phenomenon called tropospheric ducting. Happens even when no flares are going on. The FM band is mostly unaffected by solar flares.Yesterday, several FM stations in the South are jumping around and fuzzy. It's gonna get worse in the next few days.
Bro. don't encourage the flat earthers. LOLI am pretty sure it's round.
Remember to add a metal gasket (several layers of Aluminum Foil) between the lid and can, otherwise, putting electronics in the Bin will be pointless. And, remember to insulate the interior of the can with cardboard or foam, otherwise, putting electronics in the Bin will be pointless. =-)This is getting concerning, again not panic time, but concerning. Watch, pay attention, and if worried, at least unplug a lot of stuff and throw some of it in a clean metal garbage bin for a time.
Bro. don't encourage the flat earthers. LOL
You have to distinguish between "round" like a Frisbee, or "round" like a ball. LOL
Just poking at you.
I guess it's a good thing the local volunteer fire dept. is having its semi annual fish fry the 5th, so we are eating out, in case the power goes out. Cat fish, hush puppies, fries, big ol' slab of onion, and pickles on the side. Make you not even notice the power is out.
Hope those are deep-fried pickles. Nothing makes an indigestible lump in your gut like a mess of deep-fried pickles.I guess it's a good thing the local volunteer fire dept. is having its semi annual fish fry the 5th, so we are eating out, in case the power goes out.

If you haven't had a catfish fish fry you're living a deprived life. LOLSounds good. Fish fries up here are usually battered cod, and you don't get the hush puppies. We usually get cole slaw. Which is all right, but I kind of hate that my only real option for hush puppies is trying to find a still-operating Long John Silver's.
Soo, are we putting the x-9.15 news here or does it get its own thread? asking for a friend. Same active region.

No, that was just demons, like usual.Ahh, that must be what's been up with the wifi, phones, etc.
No, not a CME. Not enough voltage on small electronics. Unplugging is all you need to do.People need to seriously remember their Farraday cages. What's coming is going to melt fine electronics, at the very least. amen
You clearly don't understand the situation.No, not a CME. Not enough voltage on small electronics. Unplugging is all you need to do.
So what part of "No, not a CME" are you willing to defend? What does voltage have to do with proton flux? Which is on the rise already. With the electromagnetics involved, here is an extreme case of what the government FAFO. ETA rt 4.5mYou clearly don't understand the situation.
The galvanized metal garbage can helps about (10 to 18 db reduction) but if you want it to really work use a proper gasket or tape the lid (aluminum duct tape) to the can to seal gaps for 40db reduction.This is getting concerning, again not panic time, but concerning. Watch, pay attention, and if worried, at least unplug a lot of stuff and throw some of it in a clean metal garbage bin for a time.
Oh, just my luck, found me againNo, that was just demons, like usual.
If we're lucky we'll lose a national grid first, and people will get the shot-across-the-bow and wake up. They don't seem to have alerted from just the auroras.Our magnetic shield around the earth is getting very weak. It keeps out the CMEs from doing damage and now that we are getting X Class Flares with CME, it is only a matter of time before one sends out a huge high density long duration CME and our worldwide grid is fried.
Most of the protons from a flare don't reach the surface of the earth. The ones that do are concentrated around the poles. So basically not an issue from solar flares if you are on the surface. If you're outside the magnetosphere than you have a problem.So what part of "No, not a CME" are you willing to defend? What does voltage have to do with proton flux? Which is on the rise already.

Add in another X class flare.
X-ray Solar Flares
6-hr max: X4 1225 UT Oct03
24-hr: X8 1218 UT Oct03
explanation | more data
For some reason, the X9 is listed as an X8 here, although the site talks about the X9.1 flare. So how large the X4 really is I don't know.
