Ah, there seams to be another one, a G3

Thank you for sharing Trudy, and apologies if I sounded ungreatfull, wasn't my intention. The fact that there was a solar flare made me realise we should all keep watch on the sun this year, the media won't inform us till a CME is right on top of us. By the time I heard about it from the media it had already hit us, yet the report was all doom and gloom yet to come.

For an updated forecast of solar weather go to  http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

and on the right hand drop down menu select "Latest Solar Wind Prediction (CME based)"

Just want to say come on CME give the human race the good kick up the arse we need to change and evolve .

CME Impact / Geomagnetic Storm Subsides
The ACE Spacecraft detected a shock passage and a Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse measuring 58 nT at the Boulder Station was recorded at 11:05 UTC Thursday morning. The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) caused by the X5.4 Solar Flare did impact Earths geomagnetic field.

Minor Geomagnetic Storming (Kp=5) persisted for many hours today, but the Kp Index is now below the G1 minor storm level. Depending on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF), there will be a chance for additional storm flareups over the hours ahead. Visible Aurora will remain possible at very high latitudes.

Bz Update The Bz component of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) has been pointing mostly to the north and this has kept the geomagnetic storm at minor levels thus far. Should the Bz begin to point south for long durations, this may help intensify the storm.

For each there is a truth, I found it quite worth mentioning, the solar flares coming down on earth, exaggerated or not by the Media, the sun plays a major role in our future, so we must keep an eye on her ;)

Thnx for your comments Kal'Narred

Just remember the Media will sensationalise events that they know very little about

It was a baby, measured as a G2 on the NOAA forecast. More of a baby compared to what i believe will hit us later this year/early next year.

We gonna get a galactic upload ^L^

'It's hitting us right in the nose': Largest solar flare in six years to hit Earth today - and could 'jolt' everything from flights and GPS systems to entire power grids
