A wave of charged particles from an intense solar storm is raising alerts about airline flights and satellite operations — and raising the prospect of stunning auroral displays.



The storm began when a powerful solar flare erupted on the sun (http://www.space.com/14319-huge-solar-eruption-sparks-radiation-storm.html) Monday, blasting a stream of charged particles toward our planet. This electromagnetic burst — called a coronal mass ejection, or CME — started hitting Earth somewhere around 10 a.m. ET Tuesday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Experts at the center said that solar radiation levels were at their highest point since the Halloween storms of 2003 (http://www.space.com/712-latest-sun-flare-put-x28-strongest-record.html). Earlier estimates ranked the storm as the strongest since 2005 in terms of solar radiation, but Terry Onsager, a physicist at the Space Weather Prediction Center, said that when the wave of charged particles arrived, "that took it from below the 2005 event to above the 2005 event."

December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baktun).

Supposed to be awesome aurora tonight. Cloudy here, even if it would be visible this far south. I have seen auroras here, once a really spectacular display on a very cold December night. Everybody was outside shivering and watching.

Railroad tracks in the sky page 1

Mysturji 8th February 2012, 07:01 PM When I was a little kid, I used to like to imagine that high-flying jets leaving vapour trails behind them were laying railroad tracks in the sky, and that behind every such plane was a sky-train. Now, decades later, I still think that is a remarkably poetic image to spring from the mind of a little boy. In the interest of balance however, I should admit that I also liked to imagine - when taking a piss - that any remnant of toilet paper (or anything else) in the toilet was an enemy marine base, and that my penis was an enormously powerful space-based orbital laser with orders to destroy the base. What childhood imaginings do you remember? divagreen 8th February 2012, 07:08 PM I used to pretend my crayons were people and had whole cities made out of cardboard boxes and wore paper clothes. They even had a solid disco gold show and price is right games and a geneology chart. Pretty sure my parents thought that I was dumb and that I just did not kn...
