[img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] The data is...amazing.



FYI, NanoTelsa is a measurement of magnetism. So take a look at the graoh and draw your own conclusions...

wow

What does this mean exactly?

Horatio, don't know if you are aware that the Earth's magnetic field is in the vicinity of microTelsa. So don't stare at numbers.

Grim As, here's a light comment by NASA: http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/storm/storms.html I doubt you will notice anything from this solar storm.

A solar storm is when a bunch of solar eruptions go off in space. These usually let go of some form of CMEs (coronal mass ejections), which can basically carry one hell of a load of electrified gas through space at a high speed. Don't worry about being fried, because CMEs will be deflected from Earth by our magnetic field.

That's all I can remember from my school days. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, last night 2 birds went dead for 90 seconds and TV and cells were hit for a few mins as well. Wild.. and this is solar cycle 23. supposed to be ENDING the 11 year cycle, but they keep on coming. [img]smile.gif[/img]
