Solar Storm heading our way??

Unified Serenity · 07-06-2009, 03:26 PM

The other possible problem is that our magnetosphere may not be as strong as it has been in the past. This would allow more of the negative effects to damage our electronics. I'm watching the sun info as much as possible. Is there a better site than SOHO to get active movie type playback of the most recent information on sun activity?

Thanks

Try here Serenity ... at the moment it's still working!! Check my last post Here.. http://smei.nso.edu/skyrecent.mpg look at the dates?!!

So do you need lead to shield from CME's?

It's not harmful to humans Swanny... I promise, you won't fry!! But your car might!!!

Just the grid and all electrical equipment... anything that holds some sort of electrical charge...

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong!

I heard you can wrap electronics in tin foil and bury them but you won't have accessibility to electricity...I really can't see the point. I would welcome the quiet but I'm thinking we are much more controllable when we aren't connected.

or maybe we can form villages again and maybe know who our neighbors are.

Hmmm

Solar Storms: Coronal Mass Ejections Viewed In Detail By NASA Spacecraft

The article referenced above mentions potential problems with spacecraft electronics, but not electronics on the surface of the earth. A CME may cause fluctuations in the magnetic field of the earth on a scale that interacts with the power grid (very long wires), but the same magnetic field fluctions would not affect your computer or car (very short wires). A CME consists of charged particles, most of which do not make it through the earth's atmosphere. I don't think there would be any benefits to shielding your electronics to protect them from a CME. A CME is not an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse). You do want to be sure to have a surge protector of some sort to protect your electronics from voltage fluctuations coming in via the power grid - this is a sensible thing to do regardless of CMEs.

I am going to unhook the battery on my car tonight before I go to bed and cross my fingers. The initial CME dowses up to happen between 6-7am Eastern Stantard Time July 7th.

This is just an observation of mine....

Since the Universe is in progression & expansion, it is my personal belief that Humanity will evolve to a point that outside communications & energy will be obsolete...(I.E.-radios,cells,internet,cars,etc....) that we will evolve to using our body's energy fields and that things like telepathy,telekinesis,teleportation
will become the norm...

We will see what starts to happen...I for one am VERY tired of all the wiring that is needed at this point!!(LOL) I also believe that when one door closes...another opens & usually for the better...time will tell...I love the idea of teleporting...There are lots of family,friends & places I would like to visit if I didn't need to spend time & money getting there!!! Teleporting would be awesome!!

More update:

The STEREO COR2 behind database on July 5 and July 6 become available, however a large portion of the video on July 5th is still missing. The COR2 behind data on July 4 is still not available.

From the July 6 COR2 movie, there is a mid-size CME occurred as an unknown object move away from the sun. It seems to me that some thing is orbiting pass the sun. Could the object be the planet Mercury?

GOES X-ray flux is recently dropped and its magnitude is not very big.

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5mBL.html

May be, this is just a regular solar flare and CME. Let's hope that this is the case.

In other news, there is a lot of airplane incidents occured today in USA. I don't know if this is related, but it is worth mentioning.
