Forecast for today; Static!!

A moderately powerful solar event may cause havoc with cell phones, pagers, etc. today and tonight. But Northern lights might be visible as far south as Oregon and Illinois.

Quote:
Space weather forecasters say the coronal mass ejection, or CME, was detected Wednesday morning at 3 a.m. EDT. It is expected to reach Earth about 3 p.m. EDT Friday, and its effects could last 12 to 18 hours.
The government strongly advises everyone to avoid space walks.

Yeah, the green one's cool looking. But look at that first 512 animation. That one is scary. Mass ejections, HUGE mass ejections twice a day every other day.

Here's frames from it:



That last one was just a few hours ago.

northern lights are awesome, I saw them only once and the site was unbelievable, wish I could have taken pictures, middle of the winter night, icy cold, with shimmering shooting lights across the sky. I shall never forget that night.

Kinda like my avatar but white lights, hey.

No spacewalks today. And I wanted to try out my new Buck Rogers Tennies.
