Coronal Mass Ejections
MSFC

Half an hour or so before the mass ejection
reaches the Earth, it will wash over SOHO
itself, and the CELIAS solar-wind instrument
on the spacecraft will gauge the density of
the gas. Only then will scientists and engineers
know how hard the Earths space environment
will be hit.

Dude, is it just me, or do you guys see an apparation of Sen. John McVain staring at you from the center of that vortex? This is a sign, this means something!

Butt Nuget....I know that you think you are being very clever, but your cleverness is beginning to wear thin. I wanted to forward this thread to a few people. After all it IS fact and not fiction. But I didn't want my friends to see the stupid remarks made below it. Please see if you can refrain from this inane drivel that you write. If you can't contribute, then stay off the bandwidth and quit cluttering it up with childish remarks. Taz....who thinks that the gene pool needs to be clorinated more often.

Thanks Taz

Thanks for the post spider. I looks like Canada will be hit, but not the U.S. Do you know if this cloud will move south and hit us? What's the URL for this site?

John,
The Auroral display should increase by tonight.
The US should get a good show.

The link is below each topic.

Ditto Taz.

I hope the sky is clear tonight. We should have a good view of the aurora here at 50 N latitude. Thanks spider.

It could be a beautiful show. I remember, I guess I was about 8 at the time, so about 1960, my grandfather woke me up in the middle of the night. The whole sky was "on fire." This was just outside Pittsburgh. Something I will never forget. <:)=
