Thanks for bumping this thread.

No kidding re bumping! I just now looked at this:

https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-activit...urora-updates/

Which gives daily updates to coronal activity.

There was an x-flare (big) on Monday that's still causing probs in the radio world around the N pole.

Perseid meteor showers this week, peak should be Saturday and Moon is only crescent.

Yeah, the Polar absorption lasts for 2-3 days, that generally affects the Canucks. The flares are a problem for a short term if they hit during the day. The CME usually follows 36-72 hours after the flare.
Of course I won't get to see the auroras or Perseids because it will cloud up tonight here.

Interview Monday.

Good luck Monday.

After some quiet time, the sun is getting sporty again. A couple hours ago, a X5 flare was released, the largest of cycle 25. This follows a X2.8 flare on Dec. 14th. The X5 released today originated from sunspot 3536 just appearing on the sun's eastern horizon. It is not expected to be geo-effective. That will not be the case in a few days as the sun turns that side toward us.
Just FYI.

Supposedly a solar flare, at night, caused ATT cell service to go down. Then I watch another video on the 1969 lunar trip by Neil and company Apollo II




No stars, no wind, but flag waving, body language, no blast or landing hole, footprints too clear. Something about hiding the true shape of the Earth. Rogan 's crew thinks it's flat......

Oil Well

It looks like it's warm enough to get by with 2 pairs of sweats, a Tshirt and a hoodie. Better go do something outside

AT&T is calling it a software problem that didn't get picked up untill it went live in their system. The timing of the outage doesn't match up with any of the solar flares that happenned that day.
Maybe next time.

There have been a ton of flares so far this summer and they are still rolling. I think another Carrington event isn't too farfetched; I would personally prefer that over nukes from China. People are too blind in their perception of our evolved civilization thinking we are to civilized for most "problems". Any Historian can give empirical evidence of societal collapse. When the Roman Empire collapsed i am sure they thought they were to civilized for anything to happen. Natural Disasters, Plagues Barbarians at the Gates, internal rot, it is never a question of if, but only of when. There have always been small hiccups before the big one and we have seen many small hiccups since the last great collapse and the renaissance era which was the emergence from the last collapse. I try to keep my eye on what's happening in the world, both manmade events and natural events, but I refuse to let it keep me too scared to enjoy my life. I just try to stay as prepared as I can and try not to get caught unaware.

We would be right real good neighbors . . .
