no need to worry! i am sure the governing authorities and private finance will take care of us all LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Till i cried

remarkably simalar here http://personal.inet.fi/tiede/tilmari/sunspot2.html been reading this some time ago ,and i,m pretty well convinced by it

The active region emerging on the East limb might bring an end in the coming days to the long flare-less period we have enjoyed. The solar wind speed is unexpectedly high, potentially leading to isolated episodes of active geomagnetic conditions.

not really mate ,the last one of the apache was taken safely from inside the motor!lol jeez did,nt just bucket down by the way were you the guy taken photos of the approaching t storm just as the police helo was landing ,he was trying to get pics of both ,did,nt know which way to point his camera lol!

some pics taken earlier this evening at merryfield airstation ilton south somerset,went there to attend annual open evening as it is a RN helicopter training base ,have a deck at these, unable to take any otherdecent pics as it rained very hard

hmm very interesting gonna have to find out a bit more, probaly the biggest thing to happen in science here is a public brochure from hadron outlining what its all about, beauty and anti beauty quarks ? http://doc.cern.ch//archive/electronic/cer...004-002-eng.pdf

This tiny feature belongs to the new solar cycle and is the first one to appear in the Southern hemisphere. No significant activity is expected from this group. The solar wind speed is still elevated (500 km/s) but without major impact on the Earth magnetosphere.

nearly a b4 class according to SIDC :Issued: 2008 Apr 26 2036 UTC :Product: documentation at http://www.sidc.be/products/presto #--------------------------------------------------------------------# # FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) # #--------------------------------------------------------------------# A halo/partial halo CME was observed with the LASCO coronagraphs onboard SOHO on April 26th at 15:08UT (LASCO C2). It was associated with a nearly B4 class flare occuring in a spotless active region located approximately 10E 10N, at the time of the eruption (peak at 14:08 UT). An EIT wave was also observed linked to this event. The CME propagated mostly eastward with an estimated velocity of 466 km/s (CACtus detection).

poor radio reception any one,guys on the military airband forums are reporting poor comms today,i expect due to the space weather conditions

Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 24/2100Z to 25/2100Z: Solar activity was moderate. New Region 989 (S10E77) was numbered today and produced a M1/1f at 25/1856Z with an associated 290 sfu Tenflare at 25/1851Z and a Type II radio sweep, with a speed of 1278 km/s. LASCO imagery also observed a CME off the East limb associated with this event which was first observed in C2 at 25/1941Z. This region is too close to the limb to determine its magnetic configuration. Region 987 (S08E23) and 988 (S09E47) both remain beta groups and have grown in white light area coverage and sunspot count. IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Region 989 is capable of producing an isolated M-class event.
