We live and travel through space and X-class Monsters are part of every day life ,LOL
Just checked the latest at spaceweather.com
We might get a light show out of this second one...

“Aurorageddon!”
I am boon docking in Eastern Washington. Maybe I’ll get to see some auroras.
Thanks I just looked it up. 9 1.
BANK OF AMERICA DOWN DUE TO THIS ? :)??????
From that site:
“TWO CMEs ARE HEADING FOR EARTH: Confirmed: Two CMEs are now heading for Earth following consecutive X-flares (X7.1 and X9.1) from active sunspot AR3842. According to NOAA and NASA models, the first will strike Earth on Oct 4th and the second (more potent) will strike on Oct. 6th.”
I dunno. I thought I’d see a picture of Godzilla breathing fire on this thread.
Maybe I’m getting old :)
And the forecast for our area is CLEAR!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!
“Auroras rarely are visible in the USA. Except Alaska.”
No, we see them here 46.5°N - WA, fairly often but the key is to be where there is absolutely no skyglow from human activity to the north. If there’s any you won’t see them.
“There are two of them. A bigger one exploded today.”
Yep, saw that...
Major Solar Flare (X9)
October 3, 2024 @ 13:50 UTC (UPDATED)
A major X9.0 solar flare was just detected around Earth facing sunspot region 3842 at 12:18 UTC (Oct 3). This is the strongest X-Ray event of the current solar cycle. More details to follow regarding a possible CME.
CME Update: A coronal mass ejection (CME) with a halo signature is evident following the major X9.0 solar flare this morning. Because the source region AR 3842 is directly facing Earth, the plasma cloud appears to be aimed directly towards our planet. A further update will be provided later today once a CME tracking model becomes available. Please note that a faint CME associated with the X7 event on October 1st is expected to pass our planet sometime during the next few days. Aurora sky watchers at middle to high latitudes should have their camera batteries charged up should geomagnetic storming be observed as forecast.
Not those awful cars oldsmobile made for five years I hope.
The halo signature is like looking inside the barrel of a gun. You know it is aimed right at you.
DARPA election interference with voting machines?
Thanks benlurkin.
