Neither here nor there.
Thank you for the updates.
I wonder if there will be a large earthquake somewhere
Maybe maybe not there are other zones that can and will leave the US powerless.Madrid ...soon
It might ....time will tellI wonder if there will be a large earthquake somewhere
Major Space Weather Event (X-Flare) + Halo CME |
March 23, 2024 @ 01:40 UTC (UPDATED) |
Two sunspot regions (AR 3614 and 3615) just produced solar flares at nearly the same time. The collective X1.1 X-Ray event peaked at 01:33 UTC (Mar 23). The event around AR 3614 appears to be the brighter of the two and coronal dimming originating from 3614 is clearly evident meaning a coronal mass ejection (CME) will be likely. More to follow regarding this major space weather event. Click HERE for video of the event. Halo CME and Protons Increasing: What looks to be a halo coronal mass ejection (CME) is now visible in updated imagery courtesy of the STEREO Ahead spacecraft. Updated imagery courtesy of LASCO is still required, however it seems certain that an Earth directed component will be likely from this event. The expanding plasma cloud may not be a fast mover, so a passage past Earth could be possible within 3 days (72 hours). More details to follow once additional imagery and a tracking model is available. It should also be noted that particle levels are now on the rise following the eruptive event. A watch for a minor (S1) radiation storm may be on the horizon should these levels continue to climb. solarham.com |
alert. 1.1X flare a cme is earth directed radiation storm headed our way
CME Impact! / Storm in Progress |
March 24, 2024 @ 14:30 UTC (UPDATED) |
Both the DSCOVR and ACE spacecrafts detected a noteworthy shock passage just after 14:00 UTC (Mar 24). The solar wind speed is quite high in access of 800 km/s at times and the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is tipping south. A strong (G3) geomagnetic storm is in progress. For aurora sky watchers at least in North America, the impact timing is not great because of the obvious daylight. We will get a better picture as to where we stand later today. For sky watchers in Scandinavia, Northern Europe and the UK, be prepared once it is dark outside. Stay tuned for the latest. ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 Threshold Reached: 2024 Mar 24 1546 UTC Synoptic Period: 1500-1800 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong SUMMARY: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse Observed: 2024 Mar 24 1437 UTC Deviation: 377 nT |
Packy, I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to SuspiciousObserver. I watch his daily videos and I have learned so much. Thanks.
