X-FLARE (Explosion from Sun which might hit Earth?)
Spaceweather ^ | 12-31-04 | Orlando

Posted on 12/31/2004 8:07:15 PM PST by Orlando

SW.- New year began with a bang. A powerful X2 class solar flare erupted near sunspot 715 at 40 minutes past midnight GMT on January 1st. If the explosion hurled a CME toward Earth (?) the cloud would arrive on Jan 2nd?

Looks like what I saw when I smacked my head on a weapon's rail under that F-14 on the flight deck many years ago....

In December of 2003 it was reported that our Earth's magnetic field weakens 10 percent:

It's gone higher by 15-20%, since then ?
Our troops need to know of possible communication problem(s) in the near future. Space satellites might be effected ??? This could cut-off communications,etc...?
This is why I reported this news. I have a son in the USMC

"Shields up, Mr. Worf. . . ."

I hear the White House is already being criticized for not yet establishing a solar flare relief effort estimate.

Never look directly at the sun or hot chicks. Your eyes can't take it.
