Entropy Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 "X-FLARE: Sunspot 930 erupted again this morning, producing a strong X3-class solar flare. The blast triggered an ongoing radiation storm and probably hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. Auroras are possible when the CME arrives on Dec. 14th or 15th. Note: The radiation storm mentioned above is of moderate intensity and, unless it strengthens greatly, poses no threat to astronauts orbiting Earth onboard the International Space Station or the space shuttle. The astronauts are protected by the walls of their spacecraft as well as by Earth's magnetic field." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 well some communications should be affected by that but the HF bands should open up nicely for the ham radio guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Heard on the radio this morning (680 news) that they now expect communication interruption and that the astronauts aboard the space station have been ordered into a specially designed area to protect them.

ccmtcanada Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Between 8 and 9pm last night, I saw a very faint aurora borealis!! At first I thought it was my imagination, but there was a cool "wavy" look to the "clouds" that I saw. A few times...for only a few seconds at a time, it was pretty well defined. Then the clouds rolled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
