Massive CME From A Massive Hyder Solar Flare Is Earth Directed.

Massive Hyder Flare is on its way to Earth and should reach us Monday, November 27, 2011.  What is a Hyder Solar Flare?  In solar-terrestrial terms, a filament-associated two-ribbon flare, often occurring in spotless regions. The flare presumably results from the impact on the chromosphere of in falling filament material.

This is one large CME that is going to be a direct hit on Earth...DIRECT.  Be safe.

RADIATION STORM AND CME ALERT: A solar radiation storm is in progress around Earth. At the moment, the storm is classified as minor, which means it has little effect on Earth other than to disturb HF radio transmissions at high latitudes. Energetic protons, which make up the bulk of the storm, were accelerated in our direction earlier today by shock waves in a CME racing away from the sun at about 1000 km/s (2.2 million mph). According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME itself will reach Earth on Nov. 28th around 14:23 UT (+/- 7 hours). Click to view an animated forecast track:

The cloud could triggger geomagnetic storms when it arrives on Monday. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Aurora alerts: text, phone.

The forecasting group at Goddard notes that no two spacecraft have yet beamed back concurrent images of the CME. This makes their estimates of the CME's speed and direction necessarily approximate. Stay tuned for updates as more data arrive.

CME AND RADIATION STORM: A solar radiation storm is in progress around Earth. At the moment (the late hours of Nov. 26th), the storm is classified as minor, which means it has little effect on our planet other than to disturb HF radio transmissions at high latitudes. Bigger effects, however, could be in the offing.  The same blast that caused the radiation storm also hurled a CME into space, and this CME appears set to deliver a blow to Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 28th.  Geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the cloud arrives.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.
