Having been a nurse all my life, working cardiac, when I saw the svn's ekg I was lost for words. I've been hooked on the astronomical events ever since, 20-30 years ago. This thread is a detailed and a higher level of physics than the average awareness of just solar flares. Soo much more in play. Those who follow me know, I'll leave it at that. amen
We just had a six hour m-flare. What the flare lacked in height was made up for in length of time. It was a beast on the rim. If it had been more earth facing the GOES 16 satellite would have registered a higher reading. The other thing that is notable is that we were sailing fairly well without incident when this m5.5 hit. About 48 hours ago, I knew the light show would soon begin.
