Jan. 23rd around 0359 UT, big sunspot 1402 erupted, producing a long-duration M9-class solar flare. The explosion's M9-ranking puts it on the threshold of being an X-flare, the most powerful kind.

The Solar and Heliosphere Observatory (SOHO) and the STEREO-Behind spacecraft have both detected a CME rapidly emerging from the blast site. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab estimate a velocity of 2200 km. There is little doubt that the cloud is heading in the general direction of Earth.

A preliminary inspection of SOHO/STEREO imagery suggests that the CME will deliver a strong glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on Jan. 24-25 as it sails mostly north of our planet.

  • sound like kraftwork....?

  • Why do people always predict this shit? You can't play God dumbasses no matter how smart you are. cant ever get the weather right. Predicting solar flares? Can't even predict the next earthquake or other natural disaster. But they could say it MIGHT happen. Whatever. Quit scaring the world.

  • @hericammo no sunspot are extremely intense magnetic field twisted to rupture , when that happen positive charged proton are shoot by wip action of magnetic line

  • Doesn't the sunspot look like a nuclear bomb explosion(0.24)? Just saying....

  • Ok them cause we can just totally look right at the sun with some camera alright then...  -_- and those noises are electro magnetic waves so yes your right

  • Ok, people around the world have been hearing humming or trumpet sounding stuff more like radio waves if you ask my opinion. Fish are dieing beaching themselves and what not. I have a Theory that all of this is from solar flares hitting certain places of the earth. I would say microwave signals is what they are hearing. Ever listen to a microwave hum when it is on. If you get hit with enough radiation you get nuked. Well I am thinking that is what is going on solar flares my theory that is.

  • Is the world gonna end soon so many things bad happenening this world will end soon I think I hope not :( we are gonna get hit by tsunamis because the artic is melting

  • Mental we had this couple days ago role on 2013.

  • Are we dead yet?

  • I haven't felt right ever since this latest flare.
