spaceweather/ Know I know why I couldnt sleep last night. The sun is too busy when I did fall asleep I dreamt of an earth quake in Greece Stay safe lets pray for smooth sailing blessings and peace SOLAR MINI-MAX: NASA and NOAA agree: Solar Max has arrived, but this mini Max is not like any other solar maximum of the Space Age. Get the full story anda video from Science@NASA. INCOMING CME: Yesterdays double X-flare may have produced a geoeffective CME after all. At first it appeared that Earth was outside the line of fire, but a closer look at the CME reveals an Earth-directed component. Click to view a movie of the explosion from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory: The movie shows a faint CME associated with the first X-flare emerging around 1200 UT. A second, brighter CME from the second X-flare quickly overtakes it, forming a cannibal CME. Computer models run yesterday by NOAA analysts suggest the merged storm cloud will reach Earth mid-day on June 13th. The glancing blow could spark polar geomagnetic storms. Meanwhile, more X-flares are in the offing. At least two sunspots (AR2080 and AR2087) have unstable delta-class magnetic fields that could erupt at any moment. The source of yesterdays X-flares, AR2087, is particularly potent, and it is turning toward Earth. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-flares and a 30% chance of X-flares on June 11th.
