CME To Cause Nationwide Powerfailure?

Note how two blasts combine to form one big headache

Could the en-route pair of powerful Coronal Mass Ejections, due to impact our planet on June 16, be the one? (One, because they have COMBINED into one mass storm!) This is the projected path, found on spaceweather.com and created by the men and women at GSFC- As we approach predicted Solar Maximum in early 2013, should we … Read more

Geomagnetic Storm Strikes Earth- Expect Thunderstorms and Wild Weather Soon

Earth's magnetosphere (simulation) from the NICT on 2011/11/22

Earth’s magnetosphere (simulation) from the NICT on 2011/11/22   A Geomagnetic storm is currently raging, causing our magnetosphere to, at first, compress, then expand as the shockwave pass our planet. this, as the solar activity is in a ‘lull’. Sunspot count is at 101 and flares have been all directed away from Earth.   On … Read more
