Hmmmm, spaceweather.com seems to be down right now.

Perhaps they've received too much traffic and their site crashed?

Yup, down for me as well.

Coincidence?

Peace

Why not get the data from the original source?
www.swpc.noaa.gov...

I just tried going to Spaceweather.com and it's down. Hmm...
I wonder if it means anything.


ETA:
I see now that others are having the same problem. And now Phage has popped up. That can't be good.

Maybe because many of are not as all seeing and knowing?

Some are just curious and wanting to learn.

You are also assuming that some of us haven't gone to the original? That site is not the topic of the member's post but rather the one that's down.

I wonder how long it would take a craft/fleet to reach Earth at sublight speed after exiting a solar stargate. Three days? Four perhaps? "May 19th: Expect Us"?

Hmm...

Damn! And I just got my Direct TV working!

They say its just a matter of time. Just what we need too. Pile it on!
President miss using power of IRS, Detroit 30 days from collapsing, job continue to dissolve gas prices will sky rocket. Maybe zapping all the electronics will slow everything down.

Three Days of Darkness: the 19th thru the 21st and then... checkmate.

And the clock is ticking.


I still have all my emergency water from the Dec. 21st 2012 debacle. It may come in handy this weekend.

Must be a glitch..

Does anybody know whats really happening ? wow...

I don't think it's anything to worry about, but it did freak me out when I first saw it. It eventually went back to the proper X3 designation, and, as Phage said, the actual NOAA graphs showed nothing. But definitely gave me a pause..

This "X20+" thing is all over the internet now:

Most likely a viral Hoax. An X20 is not a small thing and we would most likely be seeing effects as of this moment. Serious effects.

I see beforeitsnews and GLP...not credible in any sense.

I can't say for sure but calm is the key right now IMO.

I can't say for sure tho.

Well... Spaceweather.com posted it. Then Spaceweather.com goes/is taken offline for whatever reason. Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

Here's what is interesting to me...

NOAAs latest update says:

2013-05-14 15:52 UTC Momentary Lull?
No new activity from Region 1748 in the past 15 hours. So far the tally is; three R3 (Strong) Radio Blackouts and three CMEs. All the CMEs have been off the Sun-Earth line so Geomagnetic storming is not anticipated -- yet.There is a small enhancement in the GOES >10 MeV protons (see plot below) but well below Solar Radiation Storm event thresholds. Forecasters are hoping to get a better look at the region soon as it rotates toward center disk. The three Radio Blackouts were all spawned by X-Class flares, each one slightly larger than its predecessor. Watch here to see if that trend continues.

It's obvious they're expecting more...the question is how intense is it going to be. Strange that spaceweather took down their X20+ prediction...

So is this why my # isn't working? It's pissing me off and 'they' always have an excuse! Well now I have an excuse when I decide not to pay the bill!!!

And yet another!

This is getting to be one for the books.

That's nothing compared to the past.

No one is claiming anything otherwise.

But please fill in the blanks.

glitch in the data, i think please ignore update

I guess is the time to watch for power outages.

Today's update:

2013-05-15 14:34 UTC Solar Radiation Storm Begins
The recent eruptions from Region 1748, first causing enhanced levels of solar protons and now passing event threshold, have produced an S1 (Minor) Solar Radiation Storm as of 1335 UTC (9:35 EDT) today. That condition is expected to linger in the S1 category, pending further eruptions. In addition, the CME associated with the most recent R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout (0148 UTC today) is predicted to sideswipe the geomagnetic field early on May 18 (UTC). Forecasters do not anticipate any Geomagnetic Storm activity with that. Back at the Sun, Region 1748 is still potent; forecasters are looking for more of the same today.

NOAA Space Weather


So does anyone know when this region is expected to rotate in our direction ?
Or is it facing us as of now ?

Sideswiping us will have next to a nil effect other than some minor interruptions. It's when an eruption followed by a powerful CME heading straight for us is the time to get concerned.

Correct me if I’m wrong if someone has an exact figure. But judging from the i3d Sun app on my phone that shows the past 12, 24 and 48 hour video clips of the sun rotating I would say 3-5 days it would be pretty square center on earth, Is my guess
