[SJDXA] Solar Flare!

SOLAR FLARE ! ! !   (This from Lee, KH6BZF)

MAGNIFICENT ERUPTION: This morning  around 0641 UT, magnetic fields above
sunspot complex 1226-1227 became  unstable and erupted. The blast produced
an M2-class solar flare, an S1-class  radiation storm, and a massive CME. A
recording of the blast from NASA's Solar  Dynamics Observatory ranks as one
of the most beautiful and dramatic movies of  the SDO era.  Must-see movies
at http://spaceweather.com 

 

AURORA  WATCH: High-latitude sky watchers in both hemispheres should be
alert for  auroras during the late hours of June 8th or 9th when a CME from
today's  eruption could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field.
Aurora  alerts are available from http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice) or
http://spaceweathertext.com (text).

 

If you want to see/know more go to:  http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/ The
Solar Flux will be in the mid-90's the next three days with the A Index
climbing into the mid-20's.

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
