Was just reading about this...supposed to hit my area in about 33 minutes! Hopefully we will get a light show tonight!

Thanks!

How exactly can you tell when it's gonna hit?
I looked at the site and couldn't see that anywhere.

I saw some UT times, which I assume is GMT, but they don't match the -6Hrs for CST.

Just what it said in the news report I was reading....I am on EST.

For a minute there I thought I might have to call the commissioner and have him flash the "Phage" signal.

The link you posted indicates there could be power outages >>

The two impacts will likely spawn minor and/or moderate geomagnetic storms at high latitudes on Wednesday and Thursday. If they're powerful enough, geomagnetic storms can temporarily disrupt GPS signals, radio communications and power grids.

"Category G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are expected 28 and 29 December due to multiple coronal mass ejection arrivals," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center wrote in an update Tuesday (Dec. 27). "R1 (Minor) radio blackouts are expected until 31 December."

The brown nose society called offering you a position as President of their club.





But really though, Yeah, it is about 10 minutes away from happening apparently. Very cool. Will have to take a look outside tonight as well.

Yeah I saw that....not too worried though. Power outages are no big deal. If it were strong enough to knock a grid out in Atlanta for a while then I would be a bit more apprehensive and probably be headed to the grocery store prior to the event. Silly me is just sitting at starbucks waiting til it hits, typing on the net with a warm cup of joe...if the world ends, I am pretty content right now....have a nice comfy seat with a power outlet and listening to some great blues.

Since Mars has no global magnetic field (only scattered and very weak fields) not much effect at all.
The rover Opportunity would be unaffected.
