Not saying this will be like the Carrington event but it should show you WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN..and will happen again sooner or later since we rely on electronics for EVERYTHING...be prepared

so what does this mean?!?! are we going to loose power in the US?

CRIPES, this pisses me off....dunno why...lol

LOOSE - not tight, "These pants are too loose."

LOSE - To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of, "I hope we don't lose power."

The reason this is bugging you is a perfectly normal response in situations like this. Grammar matters when doom is about to happen. I mean if we spell SOS as "save our soles" instead of "save our souls" then we would be in a fine kettle of fish then! Everyone would be running around with their shoes in their hands and... wait... aren't they doing that in the middle east? AT LAST!!!!!! It all becomes clear!!!

...


I wish I knew what the truth was. There are some people who say we have a weakened magnetosphere and these things are coming in one after another which further weakens it ready for the awful X cme one to run right over us all which would pretty much devastate everything. But then there are those who say no big deal, pretty lights, get on with your day...

That's my take on it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1267578


At this point all we can really do is watch the data stream, then see for ourselves what happens as a result so we can at least have a benchmark to go from.. isn't there a matter of polarity as well? positive vs negative in the charge of the CME? if so would they have differing effects?
 Quoting: Two-R-one


Thats correct if the storm has a N charge it will not be as strong as a S charged storm. Remember how magnets work?, a S charged storm will make a better connection with our magnetic field and cause a larger storm.
 Quoting: tomasgod1


So what pretty picture do we follow to see this?
There must be a website with a box with lines and numbers and things?

The sun is going to be one of our biggest threats. I was reading that a green/red aurora is caused by oxygen in the atmosphere and blue/purple is nitrogen. What I've seen in a dream(coming) are dark rolling clouds with a blend of pink and blue.

I still have to say, no matter WHAT is going on with the sun, it has never resulted in something I have noticed IRL. so if this is a HUGE deal, is there a way I will detect an effect somewhere outside my home? Will there be a news report about ANYTHING significant?

Or is this like reading about weather on Mars. Exciting if you're a martian, but otherwise, who cares?

Not that I'm anti-doom. Far from it. It's just that I never see anything interesting happening no matter what the sun does or doesn't do. KWIM?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1183343


this is absolutely my feelings as well. in fact, i'm starting to get a bit annoyed at the solar doom threads getting pinned and jack shit real world events happening over it.

with so much real news out there, having 2-3 threads reporting a solar flare or CME that does absolutely nothing to the real world is pretty much DISINFORMATION as far as i'm concerned.

i mean if this will take out radio coms, cause earth quakes, power outages, etc and this gives people time to prepare then by all means, promote the information. However, if all that happens is that the northern areas see the same northern lights and auras they normally see, then why is that crap pinned?

don't get me wrong - i think the information is fine for the site, just not entirely justified as taking up 20-30% of the pins at the top of the page.
 Quoting: ifSHTF


HELLOOOOOOOO?

Seriously, OP and the other Sun "enthusiasts"...I respect and admire your knowledge of what is happening with the sun. You all seem to be very knowledgeable on the matters. You provide links to informative resources along with your in-depth analysis. Unfortunately, to people like myself who are uneducated on these topics, the charts and signs and all of the information you provide to us, is lost on us since we can't interpret the information.

With that being said, as you are certainly concerned enough to present the information to all of us here on GLP, could we please request that you provide the information to us in "layman's" terms, as well, that might be more useful to us and thoroughly convey the intent of your post to begin with? Otherwise, it does seem to be wasted on the majority of us who read them.

Also, as in the two quotes above, could you please explain to us how these solar events may impact us individually in real life terms that may in some way be measurable and conceivable to the average person? I think I speak for a number of us on here who would greatly appreciate it if you could.

Thank you...

CRIPES, this pisses me off....dunno why...lol

LOOSE - not tight, "These pants are too loose."

LOSE - To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of, "I hope we don't lose power."

The reason this is bugging you is a perfectly normal response in situations like this. Grammar matters when doom is about to happen. I mean if we spell SOS as "save our soles" instead of "save our souls" then we would be in a fine kettle of fish then! Everyone would be running around with their shoes in their hands and... wait... aren't they doing that in the middle east? AT LAST!!!!!! It all becomes clear!!!

I still have to say, no matter WHAT is going on with the sun, it has never resulted in something I have noticed IRL. so if this is a HUGE deal, is there a way I will detect an effect somewhere outside my home? Will there be a news report about ANYTHING significant?

Or is this like reading about weather on Mars. Exciting if you're a martian, but otherwise, who cares?

Not that I'm anti-doom. Far from it. It's just that I never see anything interesting happening no matter what the sun does or doesn't do. KWIM?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1183343


this is absolutely my feelings as well. in fact, i'm starting to get a bit annoyed at the solar doom threads getting pinned and jack shit real world events happening over it.

with so much real news out there, having 2-3 threads reporting a solar flare or CME that does absolutely nothing to the real world is pretty much DISINFORMATION as far as i'm concerned.

i mean if this will take out radio coms, cause earth quakes, power outages, etc and this gives people time to prepare then by all means, promote the information. However, if all that happens is that the northern areas see the same northern lights and auras they normally see, then why is that crap pinned?

don't get me wrong - i think the information is fine for the site, just not entirely justified as taking up 20-30% of the pins at the top of the page.

HELLOOOOOOOO?

Seriously, OP and the other Sun "enthusiasts"...I respect and admire your knowledge of what is happening with the sun. You all seem to be very knowledgeable on the matters. You provide links to informative resources along with your in-depth analysis. Unfortunately, to people like myself who are uneducated on these topics, the charts and signs and all of the information you provide to us, is lost on us since we can't interpret the information.

With that being said, as you are certainly concerned enough to present the information to all of us here on GLP, could we please request that you provide the information to us in "layman's" terms, as well, that might be more useful to us and thoroughly convey the intent of your post to begin with? Otherwise, it does seem to be wasted on the majority of us who read them.

Also, as in the two quotes above, could you please explain to us how these solar events may impact us individually in real life terms that may in some way be measurable and conceivable to the average person? I think I speak for a number of us on here who would greatly appreciate it if you could.

Thank you...
 Quoting: Echo7


This is towards the beginning of a solar cycle that is expected to peak within the next couple of years. The Sun will become more, and more active. Our society now relys on electronics more than it ever has before. How often do you pay for something with "cash money"? If you are like most people probably not too often. If we have a big solar event like we very well may have today, and there are problems with communications...like satellites..you may not be able to swipe that card, and if thats the case, you won't be able to go pull it from the bank either. If High Frequency Radio transmissions are messed up today, there may be planes sitting on the gtound, so no flying. These simple things can have a domino effect that ripple through our economy, cause panic on wall street over an uncertain future, and can devestate our economy causing gas and food to go up, and you to become less wealthy.
