Huge solar flare jams radio, satellite signals: NASA * 2
    #13977705 - 02/17/11 06:48 AM (13 years, 16 days ago)

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.

Sorry, but I doubt this is the collapse of society you guys are hoping so hard for.

im not gonna say you dont know what youre talking about, but i dont know what youre talking about. who here is hoping hard for a collapse of society? as far as im concerned it's already in motion, theres no need for hope.

You should get to your cave and start hiding out so you can emerge, triumphant, and begin your anarchic paradise.

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.

what the fuck are you talking about? what wild ass claim are you referring to? there's nothing for you to be skeptical about so you can crawl back under your bridge.

All one needs to do is read your posts and they'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

And the bridge is a kickin place. Lots of interesting people camp out down there.

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.

Its not his wild ass claims - theres loads of scientific bodies reporting it so how is that "looking for validation"?

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?

Should I unplug my computer and wrap it in foil?

Be joyful. This could be the only chance you get.

All of the above posts are the fevered imaginings of a deluded mind, itself entirely the fictional creation of a somewhat peculiar author with a bizarre sense of humour.

No I would just continue to make 70's jokes to further a prejudice instead of scientific evaluation :thumbup:

when a human encounters a subject they don't understand
an emotional response is to laugh at it or reject it
alternatively a logical resonse is to investigate it
