So we just had our first X class solar flare. More to come. Geomagnetic storm is approaching.

Best page to watch the incoming storm hit the planet

I wonder if the LHC will see the effects. Xray already hit us.
Partial radio black out in progress..

X Class solar flare
Re: X Class solar flare
Geomagnetic prediction center, but as of this minute has not updated for the flare that occurred.

Re: X Class solar flare
I am completely loving this thanks Chris
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted with large ones either by Albert Einstein.
Re: X Class solar flare
Watch it occur. But so far these have not updated yet... They will...

Re: X Class solar flare
This looks to be completely boring. I cant even see a Coronal Mass Ejection looking at the vids.
But its a sign of things to come.
The LHC being a really big electromagnet would seem to be susceptiable to geomagnetic storms ? You would think its like a huge, super conductive antenna for magnetic fields this large. Even if they pulled the power all the coils would still act as a antenna ? No ?
