Massive solar storm 'could knock out radio signals' over next three days, warn scientists

Skywatchers will be hoping for clear skies from today because particles from a recent solar storm will slam into Earth and produce amazing Northern Lights, or auroras.

On the downside, experts expect radio blackouts for a few days, caused by the radiation from the flare – or coronal mass ejection (CME) – causing magnetic storms.

The flare is part of a larger increase in activity in the Sun, which runs in 11-year cycles. It is expected to peak around 2013.

Stunning Northern Lights are expected in the next few days from radiation produced by a huge solar flare


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center wrote: ‘Category G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are expected 28 and 29 December due to multiple coronal mass ejection arrivals. R1 (Minor) radio blackouts are expected until 31 December.’

Devices that depend on radio waves include GPS systems, radios and mobile phones.

I have a couple of female friends that say their todlers are going insane right now... isn't there a wave of neutrino's that proceeds the flare's more violent effects? I wonder if this is being picked up on by the more sensitive types (which I would include todlers)


a little history on big solar flares can be found here:

I am not sure if the video will post but i will give it a try. The solar storm looks more like a star, worth a watch

I wonder if that was the auroras rainbow I saw today in the white puffy clouds today I was thinking it was HARRP

did it look like this:

and was it at night?

you cannot see these during the day.

A friend of mine had a dream of this yesterday, involving solar flares,,,, how weird is this.

I know that solar flares makes most of the people go crazy, not just kids. It sometimes affects me too. It was insane last summer, everyone was arguing and starting a fight. It's no coincidence, I have observed solar flares for a while now and as a sensitive starseed I sense other peoples energies around me, especially the negative ones, unfortunately.

When this solar stuff happens, i choose my indian sitting position, and smoke my peace pipe. No violence, just peace. Ahhhhhh : )

What's interesting with phenomena like this are cows, and people buying furniture. Had experience with both. Oh dear, will prepare.

I am always affected by these solar outbursts! But I also think many people are affected, they just don't know it. Maybe us summer people are more so??

I use this website to check out the sun every morning.

Totally. I'm not really looking forward to it. :yield:

Thanks for the chuckle.
Will avoid both for now.....

Well, maybe not... here is the info on spaceweather.com for Friday December 30, 2011

DECLINING CHANCE OF MAGNETIC STORMS: The CME expected on Dec. 29th either missed Earth or its impact was too weak to notice. Geomagnetic activity remains generally low with only a 20% chance of storms around the Arctic Circle during the next 24 hours

welll we aren't too far from teh arctic circle... could be unrelated.

Just to confirm that on the 29th the northern lights were streaming over the north of Scotland while i was driving through the mountains, A few friends around Scotland also saw them and mentioned them on my FB page where i posted the same link.

I do not own a camera so no photos . I must purchase a camera this coming year.
