Your link doesn't work for me.....

Doesn't work for me either

second line

Is this the link you wanted to post?
www.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime-images.html

edit- Nope, that doesn't work either

Edit again- your link is the same as the google link, so it should work, but saying that, the link on google doesn't work either. Did I not read on this very website, that they were turning off all the sats around th sun?

NASA's server crashing just as we get something interesting.

Why am I not surprised.

it is a bit strange, even if they did turn off the satalites, or upgrade or something, the website should still be there..
or at least connect to a blank page..
its as if it never existed, and cant connect at all. Very unusual indeed.
hmm wonder where else we could get the op's images, soho cant be the only source.
Now i'm realy interested to see

Are we so broke that nasa cant pay the $10 bucks for the domain name? *LOL*

Actually, just typing nasa.gov never worked for me, always had to add the 'www'. If you do that now, you'll see the main NASA website works fine.

Take a look at

www.solarcycle24.com

It always has all the current info about the Sun. Nothing spectacular as far as I see.

According to space weather, they say a sunspot has been growing over the weekend but that its nothing major. Anything really big will affect our satellites so we should notice it even without NASA....

We need some of the heavy hitting astronomers to get on here and let us know what is going down!

Flag this thread, and lets get some attention pointed at it.

Very strange indeed.

I've even tried the Cache version on google and that is down as well.


There is something a little strange going on. Ten bucks says the image is gone when the site comes back up.

Phage anybody?

OK....very basic sun question here-

How long does it take sunlight to get to earth?

If I remember correctly, about 4 hours.

But knowing me, I just made that up......
