Good post. The Earth clearly dodged that one.

The sunspots are pointing away from us.

If you go to Wikipedia they even have a picture of the sunspots way back in

September 1859 - The Carrington Event. Now we know what to look for.

That sunspot looks almost like the new one this morning.

"New sunspot 1413 is emerging in the shape of a ring"
www.spaceweather.com...

The Ring sunspot 1413 and sunspot 1410 above it will be earth facing soon.

For the second day in a row, sunspot AR1416 has doubled in size: movie. Moreover, it has developed a "beta-gamma" magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Any such eruptions this weekend would be Earth directed as the sunspot turns to face our planetText

ell check!

For reasons not fully understood by forecasters, a disturbance rippled through Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 14th. Perhaps it was Cupid's arrow. The impact sparked some sweet lights around the Arctic Circle:

Update: Geomagnetic activity intensified even more on Feb. 15th when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth tilted south, opening a crack in Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind poured in and fueled a G1-class geomagnetic storm, underway now .

So where did this come from? How big are these cracks and how many do we have and can we plot their locations

Weak field

"The most dramatic changes that occur when the poles reverse is a very large decrease of the total field intensity," said Jean-Pierre Valet, who conducts research on geomagnetic reversals at the Institute of Earth Physics of Paris.

The magnetic poles flip on our sun every 11 years.

The last time the magnetic poles flipped was February 15, 2001.

Just add 11 years and you get February 15, 2012.

Did God reset the clock?

Now ,something is wrong here ,how did you knew this.Somehow the time has stop for the Sun..in many ways and many measurable parameters.

Well, not this year!

Then when!You are saying the year is 2013?

It's his grand design.

Power systems:
voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices.

Spacecraft operations:
surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems.

Other systems:
intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon (typically 50° geomagnetic lat.)
