Sudden Immediate Solar Flare alert - NorthernRaider - 21 February 2013
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2282405/Giant-sunspot-thats-SIX-TIMES-diameter-Earth-formed-48-hours--lead-solar-flares.html
Yes I know we have recently discussed EMP, CME and flares in great depth but this bugger has just popped up in 48 hours and caught people off guard.

I have been watching this on SolarHam.com,... it is called sunspot 1678, it appears that the levels are quiet low risk at the moment,.. they do think that it will produce some `C` class flares and possibly an isolated `M` class flare,.. by they dont think it will come to much, and it will rotate out of the reach of earth completely by the weekend

just added the solarham .com to my list cheers very much pal

My brothers pc got damaged by a solar flair when he lived in edinbutgh, that was the first time I had ever heard of solar flares/storms about 11years ago. They run the risk if making our lives crap, thanks for the heads up

The sun's 11-year solar activity cycle will peak in 2013, it's called the solar maximum, I done this in physics when doing some engineering rubbish in collage. Apparently this year isn't very powerful and they normally call it a dud.

I am not that educated,.. but I can't believe in these solar activity cycles,..I mean what is there about the sun that could possibly regulate it in that way?

It's called a solar cycle, which includes of changes in the amount of radiation(solar) it basically spits out, it keep's the solar irradiance moderated in a sense which is electromagnetic radiation given off by the sun.During the solar maximum you get you get much more solar flares, but luckily enough we have a fairly healthy magnetic shield, if you like, which takes the biggest induction of radiation and what does get through heats the particles in the atmosphere and causes hot plasma which to us is Aurora Borealis (northern lights).
Hope this helps mate..
