Default Re: Solar Storm heading our way??

There is exactly one sunspot on the near side of the sun right now:

Current solar images

Because the sun is not very active, the likelihood of CMEs is low. CMEs are more frequent at a solar maximum. The sun is currently at the tail end of a prolonged minimum.

If a CME is not already on the way, it won't arrive here tomorrow:

Quote:
In general, disturbances in the solar wind arrive at Earth 2-4 days after leaving the Sun - the CME on January 6-7, 1997 did not arrive at Earth until January 10, 1997.
From: Coronal Mass Ejections

Everybody remember the great disasters caused by the 1997 CME? No? Me either.
