Solar Flares (from news) The biggest solar storm in five years is battering our planet right now, and may cause disruptions to satellites, power grids and communications networks over the next 24 hours, space weather experts say. Two strong solar flares erupted from the surface of the sun late Tuesday (March 6), blasting a wave of plasma and charged particles toward Earth. After speeding through space at 4 million mph, this eruption of material — called a coronal mass ejection (CME) — should be hitting Earth now. The storm is expected to create strong disruptions due to an odd combination of intense magnetic, radio and radiation emissions, making it the strongest overall solar storm since December 2006, even though the flare that triggered it was not the largest, space weather officials said. The CME reached Earth this morning at about 5:45 a.m. EST (1045 GMT), according to officials at the Space Weather Prediction Center, which is jointly managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service. While the CME did not hit Earth head-on, the material delivered a glancing blow to the planet, and energetic particles will continue to interact with Earth's magnetic field over the course of the day. ______________________________________________ It's probably unlikely that scientist will tell us the whole of what they know about this. It is for certain they don't know all there is to know about this. What effect it may have on us and how it may result to affect our world is certainly and unknown. We as individuals may want to take note of what things we can during this period, as well as how our weather is impacted.. I'm going to also watch my dogs and see what kind of change they seem to experience. It may be interesting to consider how this affects global warming, because the Sun is the source of our heat. How is it likely that the Sun can have a spike in ejecting its substance, and not produce an increase in heat ?? but, I won't complain if it brings women to come out in those nice sun dresses,  besides sunshine seems to make women smile a bit more, and in some cases some even become more enhanced in their willingness to be interactive     let's see also how it effects the cell phones, maybe we won't see as many people driving and sending text messages at the same time... but, let's hope if it does heat up that it does not affect the air conditioners.

.. I certainly didn't see any women in Sun Dresses today.. it was cloudy and rainy all day.... I guess the flare did not heat up and condense the clouds enough.
