Major Geomagnetic Storm Coming?

[SDO]

This morning major news organizations are reporting on the possible geomagnetic storm associated with the flares seen earlier this week.

Examples: BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17295337), CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57392505/solar-storm-headed-toward-earth-may-disrupt-power/), and The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/solar-storms-ramp-up-take-aim-at-earth/2012/03/07/gIQAjodsxR_story.html). Most use an SDO image to show the flare!

Incredible stuff.


I hope the internet stays up so I can post on here all day. I really don't want to do work... of course then again... no computers = no work.

Interesting article here on the possible outcome of a major geomagnetic storm based on a report funded by NASA and issued by the National Academy of Sciences in January this year:
