take a look at the magnetosphere WOW!

i watch this site alot and it rarely looks like this
www2.nict.go.jp...
when it looks like this it causes major disasters
i'll try and post links to the past disasters but this one is in real time

this links to the website
hirweb.nict.go.jp...

Yep, ive been keeping an eye on that today also, does seem a lot more active than normal, with radio anomalies to boot. Worth watching.

Would be interesting to see if any major disasters coincide with this.

remember the solar flare is due to hit the earth tonight...

solar flare

hi,could you tell me as im not right up on this kind of subject but does this have anything to do with these flares that are hitting us? if not will the flares make it any worse? thanks in advance

All I see is the effects of a very low density, low speed solar wind with a slight north turn. This results in very little connection between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

The solar wind is calm. The magnetosphere is calm. It is very peaceful. That could change if the effects of the recent solar activity arrive in the coming hours.

The magnetosphere looks pretty jumbled to me right now but I've been told that doesn't always mean anything. I think it has something to do with the way the lines are laying and forming. Either way we do have a solar storm arriving 10pm est and this could be a prelude. We need an expert to read the sphere correctly.

I have no idea what I'm looking at. lol

Thank you Phage, called for an expert and you have arrived.

Yes please post links of evidence of past disasters to this as thats quite a claim.

In the mean time, I'll wait out the "real time" disaster from this [sarcasim]

I wonder why there is a "DATA" gap listed? Is there something we are not suppose to see that may get here tonight or tomorrow?There seems to be an Earth directed component, then, the data gap....

Comment from the SIDC (RWC Belgium): NOAA AR 1158 produced several C flares and an M1.6 flare peaking at 14:25 UT. It was associated with a type II radio burst detected at the Humain radio site. NOAA AR 1158 seems to have stabilized in growth and complexity, but has still high potential for strong flares. A very faint eruption is seen in COR-2 from STEREO-A and STEREO-B, starting at 02:39 UT. There seems to be an Earth directed component, but it is very faint (and there is a data gap in SOHO and STEREO-A). Geomagnetic conditions are quiet but they are expected to increase to active and even storm levels when the expected ICME from the 15th arrives to the Earth later today or probably tomorrow.

Here is a great live link..Has everything...I alway check it every day...

Welcome back!

got to agree with phage nothing wrong with that image, but as he said might get interesting when the flares get here, and no i dont mean that were all going to die or that the world will turn upside down, just some nice auroras might even get some a little further south than usual so anyone up scotland way might want to keep a camera handy

NICT is a "simulated" magnetosphere simulator...and on that site, the magnetosphere looked very "weak and beat-up;" and I hope it holds.

Apparently the CME has arrived (00:42 UTC).
Pretty mild at this point.

if found a link ages ago showing what the magnetosphere look like when these happened

1. the hati earth quake
   
2. the chile earth quake
   
3. an the major tsunami in se asia in 2004
   

and it looked quite similar just more refined which seemed to me that the sun had an effect on these earth quakes and it will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days as long as no one gets hurt
the images for what the magnetosphere was like during these events should still be on the web site above there were more events i just cant remember them all

Glad to have you back - been worried about you - hope everything is well as can be for you!!

Waiting. Waiting, Waiting to see tonights effects.

That is the magnetosphere before CHILEs Earthquake




Before HAITI's Earthquake

THIS IS WORRYING ME!!!

this is a link showing the magnetosphere on the date of the Haiti earth quake

(but you have to down load the movie)

The magnetosphere you're showing in your original post looks shockingly like Chile's Earthquake to me, which is the one that shifted the continent.
