  1. ummm I'm confused(not hard I know! :-) ) but radar wise it looks reall clear so why then is it looking all of a sudden rather black and a little menacing out here???? (not complaining ,just confused)

    just what i was thinking the wind has picked up considerable here and rain quite heavy, wind is defo west of north too!

  2. Official Space Weather Advisory issued by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center

    Boulder, Colorado, USA

    SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #11- 9

    2011 February 22 at 12:53 p.m. MST (2011 February 22 1953 UTC)

    **** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK ****

    Summary For February 14-20

    R1 (Minor) radio blackouts were observed on 14, 16 and 18 February along

    with R2 (Moderate) radio blackouts on 15 and 18 February. This activity

    was due to solar flares from Active Regions 1158, 1161 and 1162.

    Outlook For February 23-March 1

    R1 (Minor) radio blackouts are possible through 25 February.

    Data used to provide space weather services are contributed by NOAA,

    USAF, NASA, NSF, USGS, the International Space Environment Services

    and other observatories, universities, and institutions. More

    information is available at SWPC's Web site http://swpc.noaa.gov

  3. latest update could be interesting!!

    Jan. 27, 2011 MEDIA ADVISORY : 11-020 NASA To Announce New Planetary Discoveries WASHINGTON -- NASA will host a news briefing at 1 p.m. EST, Wednesday, Feb. 2, to announce the Kepler mission's latest findings about planets outside our solar system. The briefing will be held in the NASA Headquarters auditorium at 300 E St S.W. in Washington and carried live on NASA Television and the agency's website at http://www.nasa.gov/ntv.

    Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the surface of the orbiting planet. Although additional observations will be needed over time to achieve that milestone, Kepler is detecting planets and planet candidates with a wide range of sizes and orbital distances to help us better understand our place in the galaxy.

  4. update from SIDC @1317 TODAY

    CHEERS

    COMMENT: NOAA AR 1117 has produced two C-class falres, a C1.8 at 03:18

    UT and a C5.7 at 05:31 UT. This region will rotate behind the west solar

    limb in the next 24 hours but it can still produce more C and even

    M-class flares. A new region NOAA AR 1120, with Beta magnetic

    configuration, is rotating into the visible solar disk. There was a west

    directed CME at 00:12 UT which is not expected to be geoeffective.

    Aditionally, there are signs of a CME in STEREO-A COR2 beacon data which

    may be Earth directed, around 03:00 UT on October 30. Since SOHO and SDO

    show a data gap lasting several hours around this period, it is

    impossible to confirm this for the moment. Geomagnetic conditions are

    quiet, the CME from October 26 seems to have arrived to the Earth with a

    weak imprint in plasma and magnetic field signatures. Nevertheless the

    interplanetary magnetic field is elevated for the moment (around 10nT)

    but northward directed, active conditions may occur if the field turns

    south.

  5. hi all

    during todays 1831 bst pass of the ISS i recorded Douglas H. Wheelock (Colonel, USA) making radio ham contacts on 145.800mhz as the overflew western europe

    i had forehand knowledge that he would be calling from this great site

    http://www.issfanclub.com/

    there are static pauses in between doug wheelock tranmitting so please listen till the end

    cheers
