with the space station right in front of it...

What would that mean actually? Besides the obvious?
Respect
Ionizing radiation from the flare could cause HF radio blackouts and other communications disturbances, especially on the day-lit side of Earth. In the next few hours, when coronagraph data from SOHO and STEREO become available, we will see if a CME emerges from the blast site. If so, the cloud would likely be aimed directly at Earth and could reach our planet in 2 to 3 days. Stay tuned for updates about geomagnetic storms in the offing.
pretty dang cool! :woot:how cool is that photo with the iss in it?
I heard the storm should arrive Friday or Saturday, so ill be going outside to look both nights. The one and only time I saw the the northern lights was back in 2000 when there was a major storm that most of the states could see.
I found out about it around 1-2am on my way home from a friends house listening to the Art Bell show....he was going nuts saying he could see the northern lights outside...in Nevada! When i heard that i was like HOLY SHIT. Got home and there it was, green and red slowly moving in the sky....Very cool, I hope to see it again.
BOULDER, Colo. — Intense solar storms made the night sky shimmer red and green with auroras as far south as southern California and New Mexico over the first weekend in April 2001.What?! You saw the Northern Lights in Nevada?? You have to be pulling our collective leg.
I was absolutely amazed when my sons and parents called me from Landers/Flamingo Hts. California (south of Twenty-nine Palms, Joshua Tree, north of Yucca Valley) to say they were watching the lights. This was years ago, but still, latitude is latitude. Mind=BLOWN.I heard the storm should arrive Friday or Saturday, so ill be going outside to look both nights.
