Huge solar flare jams radio, satellite signals: NASA 2

50 mins ago WASHINGTON (AFP) – A powerful solar eruption that triggered a huge geomagnetic storm has disturbed radio communications and could disrupt electrical power grids, radio and satellite communication in the next days, NASA said.
A strong wave of charged plasma particles emanating from the Jupiter-sized sun spot, the most powerful seen in four years, has already disrupted radio communication in southern China.
The Class X flash -- the largest such category -- erupted at 0156 GMT Tuesday, according to the US space agency. "X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said Wednesday.
Geomagnetic storms usually last 24 to 48 hours -- but some could last for many days, read a statement from the US National Weather Service. "Ground to air, ship to shore, short-wave broadcast and amateur radio are vulnerable to disruption during geomagnetic storms. Navigation systems like GPS can also be adversely affected."
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said it saw a large coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the flash blasting toward Earth at about 560 miles per second (900 kilometers per second).
The flare spread from Active Region 1158 in the sun's southern hemisphere, which had so far lagged behind the northern hemisphere in flash activity. It followed several smaller flares in recent days. "The calm before the storm," read a statement on the US National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Service. "Three CMEs are enroute, all a part of the Radio Blackout events on February 13, 14, and 15 (UTC). The last of the three seems to be the fastest and may catch both of the forerunners about mid to late ... February 17."
The China Meteorological Administration reported that the solar flare caused "sudden ionospheric disturbances" in the atmosphere above China and jammed short-wave radio communications in the southern part of the country. The CMA warned there was a high probability that large solar flares would appear over the next three days, the official Xinhua news agency reported. The British Geological Survey (BGS) said meanwhile that the solar storm would result in spectacular Northern Lights displays starting Thursday.
One coronal mass ejection reached Earth on February 14, "sparking Valentine's Day displays of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) further south than usual."
"Two CMEs are expected to arrive in the next 24-48 hours and further... displays are possible some time over the next two nights if skies are clear," it said.
The office published geomagnetic records dating back to the Victorian era which it hopes will help in planning for future storms. "Life increasingly depends on technologies that didn't exist when the magnetic recordings began," said Alan Thomson, BGS head of geomagnetism.
"Studying the records will tell us what we have to plan and prepare for to make sure systems can resist solar storms," he said. A 2009 report by a panel of scientists assembled by NASA said that a sustained and powerful solar flare outbreak could overwhelm high-voltage transformers with electrical currents and short-circuit energy grids . The report, titled "Severe Space Weather Events -- Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts" warned that such a catastrophic event could cost the United States alone up to two trillion dollars in repairs in the first year -- and it could take up to 10 years to fully recover.

Yeah right. All you "people" are looking for validation of your wild ass claims.
Hopefully telecommunications isn't disrupted. I have a lot of important calls to make tomorrow and need to go somewhere that requires a GPS.

The funny thing about you is that you honestly believe that someone should prove themselves to you. i generally dont need to that type of validation, the claims that i have made if any, in time are validated by reality and im comfortable with that. Youre wasting your time being obnoxious you should be focused on what youre going to do when you cant hide from the truth behind your pretentious remarks.

im confused on how these are signs of the "end of the world". i mean this happened 4 years ago and we are fine. what is they are expecting to happen... lets say... in 6 months time?

Yes, it will mess up RF broadcasts in communications, the background radiation will go up a tic and the Northern lights will be more active, but the end of the world? Probably not.

Science states they could also knock out electrical grids if strong enough. That could cause a break down of society and anarchy but we won't know until they happen.

its interesting that this is such an emotionally charged debate. people must be so unhappy with the current state of things that they want it it to end, so any hint of danger gets blown out of proportion. maybe its because we cant see any kind of future based on the way we live now.
or we really can feel something up ahead maybe the bible has hoodwinked us into believing that Armageddon is coming.
what difference does it make anyway, the only thing that would piss me off is if the experts are not telling us the whole story, and we could be preparing ourselves which would up chances of survival if the shit does hit the fan

You have me on ignore since your a whiny drunkard, but that was only a hiccup theres gonna be CME's and solar flares in the coming year far beyond class X. NASA reported a upcoming solar storm of never before seen intensity, this is just the beginning of the buildup to the climax. Communications and possibly electrical grids will be disrupted at its peak.
A minor annoyance.

Well I know nobody clicked my links but my jaw dropped when I read this:
The strongest geomagnetic storm on record is the Carrington Event of August-September 1859, named after British astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare with his unaided eye while he was projecting an image of the sun on a white screen. Geomagnetic activity triggered by the explosion electrified telegraph lines, shocking technicians and setting their telegraph papers on fire; Northern Lights spread as far south as Cuba and Hawaii; auroras over the Rocky Mountains were so bright, the glow woke campers who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning. Best estimates rank the Carrington Event as 50% or more stronger than the superstorm of May 1921.

Okay while I do believe the earth will eventually be destroyed by our idiotic ignorance it is not that soon.
I must ask. Everyone that believes all this 2012 is true.
Where did you first learn of 2012 and what convinced you to believe?
The only thing Im seeing here is the change in calendar.

No they are not preparing. No commercial or public places have prepared at all because the transformers have no EM shielding. Many government / elite have prepared.
The worst that can happen is the world loses its power transformers. They are already really expensive and in high demand - theres a waiting list to order them and they run our electrical grids. The flares cause an EMP effect so if they are strong enough then they will knock out the power transformers.
Whole countries could be without power - some countries are more at risk than others because they use larger transformers which are more likely to be effected. It also depends on the strength of the flare reaching that area.
Imagine your whole country without electricity - no money in the banks because its all electronic. This situation could take months or even years to repair and get electricity back online depending on how many transformers are required at the same time and baring in mind they are already high demand. Thats the worst case scenario.

the recovery period could last as long as 10 years. I personally think it would be amazing that afterward billions of people would have that 10 year shared experience. What sucks is that if you werent already in the gold game you gotta have a nice little chunk to just hop in now. materialism is not for the poor.

Gerald Celent who is a trends genius said its best to get on silver coins like the canadian maple not just for the reason of this possible electrical failure but also the dollar is about to crash permanently and the cost of food and fuel is going to go through the roof. The elite have a new currency to put in its place but no doubt they will starve the world first to make us accept it.
Theres some really rocky roads ahead with the financial situation alone is going to cause some big trouble - theres even potential for martial law in the US. I hope this electrical collapse doesn't happen as well because it will be utter anarchy if it does.
Strange really that some posters here don't think its on the cards considering the state of things. I'm not looking for any confirmation of anything I'm just analyzing the current situation, this financial collapse is going to be the worst depression the world has ever seen unless they bring out that new currency first but that won't happen - they'll make you beg for it so its not optional - thats how these guys stay in power.

It seems almost a guaranteed earner really because the $ is dying and faith in paper money is dying and will remain dead until the new currency is issued and has been around for a while to regain faith. You probably have 10 years + of growth on precious metals. Considering the $ will soon be worthless it seems like guaranteed earner to me. At the moment everyone in the know has gone to metals - its only the unaware mass public who remain now and they are currently getting royally shafted as the banks call in the chips.
I could be wrong though :p

I'm not certain and nor are the scientists its still a highly controversial debate. In short - its never happened before so nobody really knows. Well it has but that was before we had electrical grids.
I'm a computer technician and I've studied electronics. As far as I know at present - an EMP effect on transformers would be permanent not a temporary effect but I could be wrong, I believe the matter is still contraversial. Needs some research and experiments

It would likely be months or years before the electrical grid could be repaired because of the destruction of large numbers of transformers in the electric power grid that are no longer made in the United States.
http://www.futurescience.com/emp.html
Quote:
The instantaneous destruction of the power grid would occur primarily because of the widespread use of solid-state SCADAs (supervisory control and data acquisition devices) in the power grid. These would be destroyed by the E1 pulse, but could probably be replaced within a few weeks. The greater problem would be in re-starting the power grid. (No procedures have ever been developed for a "black start" of the entire power grid. Starting a large power generating station actually requires electricity.) The greatest problem would be the loss of many critical large power transformers due to geomagnetically induced currents, for which no replacements could be obtained for at least a few years. The loss of many of these power transformers would greatly complicate the re-start of the parts of the grid that could be more quickly repaired.

Yeahh... but EM radiation from a solar flare, and an EMP from a nuclear bomb or something else.... different things man. We have the magnetosphere/other barriers which soften spectrums of the sun.. that cannot be said about a nuclear weapon on earth.

I don't know what the odds are myself. It depends on a lot of factors if it would knock any grids out but potentially it could which is pretty cool

if, and thats a big if, global communication networks are affected by these events that would definitely cause a full economic collapse. i know that its very pessimistic, but in my opinion i would welcome some drastic change.

we need a back up, lik we need to run a bunch of noob phone lines across the country, the ones with the two tin cans on either end and the string connecting them.
the pu would be bumpin lol.
or we need everyne to become a supporter, havin ythan buy a huge plot of land in nebraska or someshit, and if the interwbz ever goes down we all know to meet up there, and bring mad dro0gz

Naw bro, you guys are just close-minded or even worse, pawns of the establishment. Anyone who doesn't think the next solar flare will destroy civilization as we know it and throw humanity into a short period of absolute chaos punctuated by disaster, destruction and death and quickly followed by the rise of our new Reptilian Overlords is just blind to the truth.

Olympus Mons said: 50 mins ago WASHINGTON (AFP) – A powerful solar eruption that triggered a huge geomagnetic storm has disturbed radio communications and could disrupt electrical power grids, radio and satellite communication in the next days, NASA said.
A strong wave of charged plasma particles emanating from the Jupiter-sized sun spot, the most powerful seen in four years, has already disrupted radio communication in southern China.
The Class X flash -- the largest such category -- erupted at 0156 GMT Tuesday, according to the US space agency. "X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said Wednesday.
Geomagnetic storms usually last 24 to 48 hours -- but some could last for many days, read a statement from the US National Weather Service. "Ground to air, ship to shore, short-wave broadcast and amateur radio are vulnerable to disruption during geomagnetic storms. Navigation systems like GPS can also be adversely affected."
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said it saw a large coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the flash blasting toward Earth at about 560 miles per second (900 kilometers per second).
The flare spread from Active Region 1158 in the sun's southern hemisphere, which had so far lagged behind the northern hemisphere in flash activity. It followed several smaller flares in recent days. "The calm before the storm," read a statement on the US National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Service. "Three CMEs are enroute, all a part of the Radio Blackout events on February 13, 14, and 15 (UTC). The last of the three seems to be the fastest and may catch both of the forerunners about mid to late ... February 17."
The China Meteorological Administration reported that the solar flare caused "sudden ionospheric disturbances" in the atmosphere above China and jammed short-wave radio communications in the southern part of the country. The CMA warned there was a high probability that large solar flares would appear over the next three days, the official Xinhua news agency reported. The British Geological Survey (BGS) said meanwhile that the solar storm would result in spectacular Northern Lights displays starting Thursday.
One coronal mass ejection reached Earth on February 14, "sparking Valentine's Day displays of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) further south than usual."
"Two CMEs are expected to arrive in the next 24-48 hours and further... displays are possible some time over the next two nights if skies are clear," it said.
The office published geomagnetic records dating back to the Victorian era which it hopes will help in planning for future storms. "Life increasingly depends on technologies that didn't exist when the magnetic recordings began," said Alan Thomson, BGS head of geomagnetism.
"Studying the records will tell us what we have to plan and prepare for to make sure systems can resist solar storms," he said. A 2009 report by a panel of scientists assembled by NASA said that a sustained and powerful solar flare outbreak could overwhelm high-voltage transformers with electrical currents and short-circuit energy grids . The report, titled "Severe Space Weather Events -- Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts" warned that such a catastrophic event could cost the United States alone up to two trillion dollars in repairs in the first year -- and it could take up to 10 years to fully recover.
I don't know how HUGE it was, space.com said in 1859 they had one that was something like 30x as strong. Scientists have said this is a very lackluster solar cycle too, so there is no real reason to think a huge storm is coming, unless you have a new article i should read.
" The sun works on an 11-year activity cycle, and it's currently gaining strength. Forecasters now expect peak activity might occur in 2013 or 2014, Rutledge said, though nobody knows for sure.
So more flares and CMEs should be headed our way over the next several years. So far, the sun has been relatively quiescent during this cycle, so perhaps peak activity won't compare to the maxima of previous cycles, researchers said.
But a big, Earth-shaking blast could come screaming at us all the same, and researchers are monitoring the sun closely.
"This has been a remarkably quiet solar cycle," Gurman told SPACE.com. "But that doesn't mean there won't be a big event."

what kind of question is that? what is slow exposure. it's pretty self explanatory. this is what the news is good for slowly trickling doctored information that is already known to the higher ups. we're being conditioned as things make the transition from mystical occultism to accepted scientific fact.

because there's nothing wrong with them i assume? you guys are getting on my nerves with this assuming that somewhere in this thread i said that this is going to be the solar storm to end all solar storms or some shit. If you knew anything about the subject matter then you would be aware of the fact that a storm of that size is not going to set us back much and the damage it causes, if any, would be minimal and temporary.

Obviously this will cause Global Magnetism. We need to start selling Electromagnetic and Magnetic Credits, and punish anyone who emits electric or magnetic fields.

If the EMP effect from the coronal discharge doesn't get you then the currency collapse probably will.
We all know shits fucked up. Some of us look at it intensely and others ignore it like an ostrich with its head in the sand.
All thats certain is that nobody knows what the future holds.
Its still important to entertain the reality of the concepts though. Something big is around the corner. It always has been - consistently through out history. We just have to remember that theres nothing wrong with looking at the possibilities or stating your view on their importance / likeliness.
Either way the universe is going to keep turning and throwing the unexpected out at us. Our generations beneath will accept things, we never thought could happen, as fact.

its okay to imagine, but to fixate on the unknown and detach yourself from reality is .
you dont know whats going to happen and these so called, "scientist" think they have an idea, but thats it.

yes shit is fucked up especially the economy with the dollar going down and the east getting rich, and is going to get worse very soon.
some people just dont want to admit it and are bamboozled by the governments/media saying "dont worry we have everything under control". no one can say whats coming in the next few years ,but it sure ain't going to be "business as usual" as its been since WW2.

I have a good idea, obviously, the US needs a Department of Solar Discharges and a 'Solar Discharge Czar' Then they can hire a few thousand people to staff the department, and tax the shit out of us to support it.

I don't believe we are lucky enough for "2012" to happen, life will come and go as it always has, I for one would be happy for mass destruction of the electrical grid, it makes doing drugs safer lol the police will no longer be able to control us without their tools of oppression

If you knew anything about the subject matter then you would be aware of the fact that a storm of that size is not going to set us back much and the damage it causes, if any, would be minimal and temporary.
You mentioned yourself that everyone you know including yourself were having trouble with their cell phones.
not only that,the cable and internet in my region as well. what's your point? what part of this storm was large but not major and the damage was more disruption if anything and was temporary due to the intensity of the storm do you know understand. for the second time in plain english. not only that but why would you assume the storm would still be here? that's like a single thunderstorm lasting for a week or more.

its kind of sad that most of you look at global destruction as a positive happening because "it will be easier to do drugs", or "im bored in life so i want to witness a nation wide massacre from either our government or natural disasters."
my honest opinion. most on here are strung out, idiot, life revolving around getting high, living off of mommy and daddies pay checks while i go to school and learn about new drugs type kids.
how could you possibly hope for some sort of an apocalypse or natural disaster? pull your head out of your ass an actually think about it.

what is slow exposure?
what kind of question is that? what is slow exposure. it's pretty self explanatory. this is what the news is good for slowly trickling doctored information that is already known to the higher ups. we're being conditioned as things make the transition from mystical occultism to accepted scientific fact.

well its kind of hard to interpret your 3 word post for my two questions when u dont quote me to show which question your responding to. i assumed the "sure" was for my second question and the "slow exposure" was for my first.. Since you have so many interesting articles rooted in scientific research I assumed this "slow exposure" was a scientific hypothesis that has been talked about by people in the community, maybe has some research behind it.. thought maybe u had another article that would talk about it... Didn't think that you just came up with that on your own and meant it literally; that the sun was exposing us to the intensity of the solar cycle slowly.
I thought all your recent posts were really interesting, i even e-mailed a couple people that article about Tyche from cnn... Reading all that stuff just made me more curious so i read all the articles i saw on the subject.. Now I dont know about u but i learn by asking questions, i figured u might be able to answer them since you seem interested in the topic, you even make threads about it.. So I apologize if questions offend you, i meant no... disrespect? cuz u seem offended.. Im not sure if you think im hinting at something or what but for you to make inferences based on ambiguous text is ignorant and frankly annoying.. Next time ask a question youself..
Maybe try re-reading all my posts in a new light because i have no idea why u seem so bothered by me.. im one of the few keeping the damn thread on track.. From what i read this has been a lackluster solar cycle and there is no indication that this active part of the cycle will be significantly more powerful than cycles in years past. However, that does not mean it won't be.. which is why i was wondering if u had read something that would make you think it WAS going to be more intense.. If you are just making that assumption based on the fact that there was a class x flare and 2 CME's this early in the active part of the cycle im unconvinced, but again, doesnt mean it wont happen.. and we are both just speculating, nothing personal, right???

We all know shits fucked up. Some of us look at it intensely and others ignore it like an ostrich with its head in the sand.
All thats certain is that nobody knows what the future holds.
Its still important to entertain the reality of the concepts though. Something big is around the corner. It always has been - consistently through out history. We just have to remember that theres nothing wrong with looking at the possibilities or stating your view on their importance / likeliness.
Either way the universe is going to keep turning and throwing the unexpected out at us. Our generations beneath will accept things, we never thought could happen, as fact.
Things may not look the best they ever have but there is a lot of people who go over board(im NOT talking about you o.p., do NOT misinterpret). We got through a lot of things and I think we are more resilient than people think. We live in a time where people crave drama, so things can easily get blown out of proportion.
Having said that, its very true that none of know what the future holds.. and we all get our info from the people actually researching, so in reality we have a very small window into their world.. we are all speculating..
Not really sure what u meant by there is something big around the corner and there always has been throughout history but ill let this have the test of time and read research along the way.. But when you say that there is nothing wrong with stating your view on the importance/likeliness of possibilities I think you have to remember that this all subjective and sometimes we have to think out of the norm.. Consider stephen hawking.. he said that some matter "disappeared" when it went into a black hole.. considered absolutely absurd and illogical amongst the community... Granted, over 30 years later, we know this isnt true... However it opened the possibility to parallel universes, thanks to hawking sticking on the subject. I say talking about the stuff is all fine and dandy but unless you are an active researcher you really arn't able to say anything with ANY sort of certainty and we should keep this in mind. light-hearted conversation for everyone!
I wish i could see life in the distant future when we are capable of so much more.. but it will be interesting if we can outlive/outsmart the collision of the milky-way and andromida galaxies... Unless we figure out how to break through dark matter we have about 6 billion years of humanity left unless something kills us first.. but this collision.. you can bank on that being the end lol(they calculated the two galaxies moving towards each other at 250,000 MPH i believe).

Space.com – Sat Feb 26, 11:00 am ET This story was updated at 10:52 a.m. EST. The sun unleashed a powerful flare Thursday (Feb.24) that – while not the strongest solar storm ever seen – let loose a massive wave of magnetic plasma in a dazzling display. The solar flare kicked up a huge, twisting tendril of plasma that scientists call a solar prominence. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare in an eye-catching video, with mission scientists calling the eruption a "monster prominence." "Some of the material blew out into space and other portions fell back to the surface," NASA scientists wrote in a statement released Friday (Feb. 25). [Amazing Sun Photos from Space] Dazzling sun flare Thursday's solar flare was the latest in a series of strong sun storms this month. Scientists classified it as an M3.6 Class solar storm. NASA described the solar eruption as a "rather large-sized flare." Scientists use a three-class system to measure the strength and intensity of solar flares. The most powerful sun storms are Class X – a Class X2.2 solar flare erupted on Feb. 14. Class M solar storms are medium strength but still powerful, according to a NASA description. The weakest types of solar flares are Class C storms. Thursday's solar flare erupted from a new spot on the sun called sunspot 1163, according to the website Spaceweather.com, which monitors space weather and skywatching events. The flare was not aimed at Earth, and so should not pose a concern to satellites or other systems. "Earth was little affected," Spaceweather.com reported Friday. "Plasma clouds produced by the blast did not come our way." The active sun The sun is in the midst of an active phase of its 11-year solar weather cycle. The current cycle is known as Solar Cycle 24. Strong solar flares aimed at Earth can disrupt satellites and power grids, as well as pose a hazard to astronauts on spacecraft. They can also spark dazzling shows of the northern lights, or aurora borealis. The threat of solar flares to satellites and infrastructure has been gaining notice among decision makers lately. Last week, Jane Lubchenco – the chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – told a gathering of scientists that the United States must take steps to protect assets from potentially dangerous space weather events. "This is not a matter of if, it's simply a matter of when and how big," Lubchenco said of the potential for a dangerous solar flare. "We have every reason to expect we're going to be seeing more space weather in the coming years, and it behooves us to be smart and be prepared."

No idea why you think you are smart..
and for the record... when people say you are a dooms day theorist.. you say things like "did i say anything like that in this thread" and you get all testy if someone asks you a question... do you think the world is coming to an end? You're so defensive and the fact that u specified "in this thread" makes me think you probably do. Don't make a thread if you dont want to talk about it.
