Coronal explosion 10x the size of the sun.

Your article also said

"This eruption is directed right at us, and is expected to get here early in the day on August 4th," says astronomer Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). "It's the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time."

I think this was a quick cut and paste job and not an actual article...

Because C-class Flares don't harm us.

M class flares tend to knock out satellites and stuff, but X class flares pose the greatest danger to us. X class flares have the potential to wipe out our electrical grid, celluar communication, etc.

So far, this explosion is producing C Class only from everything I've read.

In my 3rd of a month date, Civilization destroying CME, The Knowing-induced fear frenzy. I didn't check the date

My apologies.

No worries pal. I've seen Knowing as well. Don't like the ending of that film at all so I know where you're coming from!!!

Hopefully nothing too dodgy comes from this CME thing! :/

EDIT: Flag, Flag, Flag, we need to get more people who know about this to read...!!

This is complete and utter bunk.

It appears to be a farside event thus far.

Ah, i see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Since I obviously have zero credibility, here's the answer you want:

From Chadwickus himself, discussing the same thing in another thread:

Meh it seems to be just a C class flare...

Had 3 a couple of days ago.

OK? Everybody calm?

Here's the thread:
Holy crud I hope this isn't Earth facing, looks like a monster CME!,

What? I said thanks

Real or not, fearmongering or not.
The earth has been here for decades, probably hundreds maybe even thousands of years, heck maybe longer.
Here's the rub, so has the sun.
We'll be ok and if not, really what could you do to prevent celestial havok?
Chill out and enjoy life abit huh?

flares are irrelevant to this the CME is what we're worrying about.

Here:

Coronal mass ejections are often associated with other forms of solar activity, most notably solar flares, but a causal relationship has not been established. Most ejections originate from active regions on Sun's surface, such as groupings of sunspots associated with frequent flares. CMEs occur during both the solar maxima and the solar minima of sun activity, albeit with decreased frequency during the minima.

A CME is a coronal mass ejection from the sun in case anyone didn't know what it stands for.

Further:

The most obvious difference between a solar flare and a CME is the spatial scale on which they occur. Flares are local events as compared to CMEs which are much larger eruptions of the corona.

Worry about X flares.

It wasn't directed towards you.

It was in reference to the comments about waiting until Phage or Chadwickus came along. I thought I would help forward the information since Chadwickus replied on another thread concerning the same topic at hand.

i would start worrying about them all now with the weakness our magnetosphere is showing... but hey i could live without my iphone for a week. NOT, OHMIGAWD NO IPHONE !?!



i'm not dead yet.

lol you should be worried this is the biggest one in awhile, what's freaking me out also is that usually as soon as these flares pop up they're immediately recorded by spaceweather.com or the stero/soho/sdo solar observatory satellites and observatories.

judging by the size i'd say it'll take 24 hours from the explosion

Ummm maybe it just hit us ? As someone here stated ,Southern Hemisphire directed .

7.1-magnitude quake strikes off Indonesian island, tsunami warning issued

channel6newsonline.com

JAKARTA (BNO NEWS) -- A powerful earthquake struck off the Indonesian island of Java on early Monday morning, seismologists said, prompting a tsunami warning for some local regions.

The 7.1-magnitude earthquake at 3.06 a.m. local time (2006 GMT Sunday) was centered about 279 kilometers (173 miles) south-southwest of Tasikmalaya on Java. It struck about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to Indonesia's seismological agency.

I'm in Columbus Ohio, EST, USA, so is Jakarta already in Monday now? (It's still daytime here).

Does this mean this quake has just happened?

Oh sorry, now I sound stupid after I read more.

just watch the skies mates, if it gives us a nice his the aurora will spread to pretty low latitudes, i really hope i can see some in jersey =]

I'm in the Great Southern land , yes Monday this side of the Globe now .

Space Weather is reporting the CME now and they're saying it only has a slim chance of glancing our magnetic field on the 6th.

If it was headed directly at us, wouldn't it look like a round object getting larger from the center? Not like its jutting off to the side? Mind you, I don't study these things. If someone could correct me if I'm wrong, it would be much appreciated

yeah, it's not coming directly at us. If it was, i don't think we'd be expecting only a C class.
