the sun has been flaring a lot in the last week with some biggies coming off in our direction, causing electrical storms and interference. this happens now and again and doesn't usualy bother us to much. occasionaly it will knock down huge chunks of communication stuff and sattelites.
a few years back canada was hit by a biggy and loads of stuff went down.
what makes this unusual this time is the length of time it has been flaring and the size of them. right now for instance there is a huge flare heading toward the earth at five million miles an hour. so if your internet dies and your mobile stops working and your sky telly packs in ... some time tonight the full impact will hit us ...blame the sun king!
here comes the sun ...

I think the only damage so far has been to some Japanese satellite. Earth has missed the full force of the ejections.
have just been out and it is lashing it down. can't see a bloody thing and i'm in n. wales so only down the road from you ..how good is it?
Can't see a damn thing... partly cloudly plus liverpool lights... not good!
Me too!!! (I only watched it over the weekend; bought the soundtrack today)
Why? im morbid ok..
2) Material from a CME is likely to impact Earth within 96 hours.
3) There is a possibility of either M or X class flares within the next 48 hours
what makes this so interesting is that this is the largest radiation storm to hit our planet since the 19th century. the five million miles and hour blast that swept past our little blue planet today (28th) has already cuased radio blackouts and instrument failures
here on earth and aboard man made satellites. it is looking like the next two weeks could break previous records.
in the 19th century there were no electronics ...now we have an electronic society from medicine to money to war. comunications, data storage etc ...all of this is extremely vulnerable over the next couple of weeks. never before has our delicate electronic existence faced such a test. could be an interesting couple of weeks ...
But if the Aurea Borealis is supposed to be seen around Europe, it must be bloody impressive up here! Too bad I think it's snowing, and thus, is cloudy.
its scary though, just think, one big bit of fire and we could all die...
the sun should be in quite mode right now, having just died down from the supposed 11yr cycle. but for some reason it's doing the opposite. over the last week it has fired quite a lot of these huge plasma balls off. the one that winged it's way toward earth yesterday was like a cannon shot apparently. a hole in the sun ...bigger than the giant planet jupiter, lined itself up facing the earth and then fired this massive blob of plasma at us. the exciting bit is another spot of the same size looks like it might join up with the other to make a massive historical cannon ...if it aims it as us again it should be very interesting indeed.
if this thing gets as big as it's looking it might ...the yanks could be screwed in iraq as their military are so electronic reliant. that would be interesting but ...the mullahs will convince the people that allah has blah blah friggin blah ...
Perfect Mr Roll!!! Thank you very much.
