Thank you for breaking it down to simple terms.

Again, for this information alone, I commend you guys!

Keep up the great work

The sun spot known as 1024 has gone down to an A class from a B a couple of days ago and is on the wane. Solar wind speed has also slowed down from yesterday from 338 kps to 323 kps. This sun is still in a sleep mode even if some bits of energy peek out. Nothing will come of this spot on the sun. In 2005 or 2007 we were having gigantic X32 class flares. I remember seeing a long beam of light that went across the evening sky one night like a laser beam as solar energy hit the atmosphere.

It would take a huge coronal mass ejection to harm the earth. Even the X class flares didn't do that and they were the most powerful ever recorded.

Solar X-ray Flux at 6 7 2009 0220 UT: A5.1 rising (GOES 10)

Current Flux Value
Solar X-ray Flux at 6 7 2009 0224 UT: B1.0 rising




NOW ITS B B B BBBBBBB

Solar X-ray Flux at 6 7 2009 0228 UT: A9.4 falling


Back to A.....

I really thought this sunspot was going to die yesterday. Might just be the one that hits on the 7th.
I'm still unsure if its a cme or a flare thats predicted. BTW I wouldn't leave my computer"on" unattended the next few days.

if we have a solar eruption on 7 july what does it mean we are not alone and ET's send us message with crop circle ?
is it possible i dont know i try to be rational, and if it happen it mean also all the message in the crop are going to happen, now i feel very wierd my head says it's not possible but in the same time we will have a proof that somone is communicate with us and not from this world...and event are comming.

i'll jump to that conclusion the 7 july if we have this solar eruption we enter to a new era very exciting no.

How did the Grays know about the solar flare ahead of time?
Computer analysis or do the Grays travel ahead in time and
then travel back in time and THEN give us a heads up about the future???
How do they do it?
I wish they would just LAND in the crop field and say "hello".
I promise not to freek out.
I am ready for first contact today.
I want to go for a ride in one of their Top Hat UFOs.....please.

I named this one "neat.jpg", for obvious reasons of course.

Still the occasional "B" class flare, but it has died down a bit since yesterday. Certainly been the most active sunspot for a long time. Who knows, it may pick up again.

A really fascinating thread.
My knowledge of the sun is right up there with the cavemen.
It comes up and goes down regular and I’d miss it if it were gone.
I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve gleamed from the thread so far.

While I’m here I’ve got a very basic question...

I’ve got some beach time scheduled for today and tomorrow the 7th.

Should I hide in the house with a couple a dvd’s instead?

Thanks again!

Actuall www.spaceweather.com Updates:

SUDDEN SUPER SUNSPOT: Sunspot 1024 is crackling with B- and C-class solar flares. The activity is so intense, astronomers can't seem to take a picture of the sunspot without catching a flare in action. Pete Lawrence sends this example from his backyard observatory in Selsey, UK

Solar observers haven't seen an active region like this one in more than two years. It is big, complex, and rapidly growing: movie. The magnetic polarity of the sunspot identifies it as a member of new Solar Cycle 24. That makes sense. New research shows that solar jet streams are beginning to stimulate new-cycle sunspot production. Sunspot 1024 appears to be a sign of the process at work, heralding more to come.
