M 3.2 Flare + FULL HALO CME / Solar Watch Jan 20, 2012

EARTH-DIRECTED CME: Active Region 11402 erupted between 15:15 and 16:30 UT on Jan 19th . The long-duration blast produced an M2.6 & M3.2-class solar flares and a Full Halo CME that appears to be heading toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms will be possible within 60 hours. Further significant solar flare activity around Active Regions 11401 & 11402 are possible in the coming days as they are growing and changing shape rapidly.

If our magnetic field goes down which I don't know if it is possible with this flare but we will be fucked!!! An yes we can expect too hear more of the earth groaning an tetonic plates rolling out of place

[SolarWatcher]

@MCLoWlOw our magnetic field is weak, but this Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is nothing to be worried about, the amount of panic and fear regarding this event is blown out of preportion from people who have zero comprehension of what they are talking about. on a scale of one to ten this CME is a 4

Only the south pole is gonna be little effected by the solar flare they stopped all the planes that are heading near south pole including south america

No large impacts

Who else thinks that being wiped out by a solar flare is the greatest way to die??

[siewhf]

is this causing the End of the World ?



[MCLoWlOw]

I believe we will be hit with a X class flare somewhere in June. But thanks for clearing this up bro.
