"If the magnetic filament currently being observed by NASA becomes unstable and collapses, we could be looking at an explosion that would dwarf that of sunspot group 9182 back in 2000," said solar scientist and professor Marshall Daniels. "This would most certainly be an X class flare or one the most powerful of its kind."

Active region sunspot 1339 already let go an X class solar flare on November 3, 2011.

NASA researchers had announced that the next solar maximum would be the strongest since the historic maximum in 1859. As we approach the solar maximum in 2012, the next 12 to 24 months we'll see a historic and possibly record breaking bombardment of energy waves hitting planet earth.

Bye bye BIG filament^^


spaceweather.com...



A magnetic filament wrapping around the sun's NW limb rose up and erupted today.



The eruption hurled a cloud of plasma (a "CME") into space but not toward Earth. Because of the blast site's high-northern location on the sun, the cloud flew up and out of the plane of the solar system; no planets will be affected.

Still dangerous the filament is there and they made like a circle around the sun...weird.

The CME that could have ended electronic civilization if electronic civilization had existed occurred on 03 Sep 1859. It was seen as a bright spot in the center of the Sun by a British astronomer named Carrington. It is called the Carrington Event. He and a witness were the only ones who saw it, but within 24 hours the entire world knew, from Eskimos in Alaska to Pigmys in Africa. The charged air was picked up by the then new telegraph grid. Telegraph paper caught fire. The batteries were disconnected, and the entire system was run off of the charged air for weeks.
Because the current event was seen in all it's majestic splendor, it is unlikely that it could cause much damage. If you DO NOT see the CME and the associated flare, then you have a real problem because it is headed right for you.

You are right about that but how can we see that strong CME?

Massive Hyder Flare is on its way to Earth and should reach us Monday, November 27, 2011.
