Tricks the mind into thinking you have more time to relax.
No you are not, I am.

I am not certain why, but the magnetic storm hasn't started yet. I was expecting it last night. Our satellites have been picking up radiation bursts for two days, and NOAA has them forecast to start today (it is now past midday by their clock). I don't see any updates of cancellations though, so I guess the storm will hit later today. The forecast is for the storms to last through tomorrow.
I don't mind being called far right.
I have been right so far.

They aren't admitting it, but it looks like the main body of the ejected mass (from the sun) is going to miss the earth.
Two of the three warnings they issued disappeared from the site. Not canceled, not rescinded, disappeared.

Holy Cow! Are you saying that mass was ejected from the sun that did not return to the sun and is out there, now, in the universe someplace, barreling through space? Mass?......mac

Lots of sad folks up here. My husband has a three-day pass and everything to hunt them down.
They are supposed to pick up some over the weekend.
It's like predicting the weather, except that its' on the sun and then travels to affect our planet. There will naturally be errors.
Im more frustrated that the clouds aren't clearing off, but when they do clear, the temps will plummet again, so...

Supposed to be one heck of a light show...even in southern locales.
Solar ejecta comes in 2 forms...Plasma (mass) and radiation. When Ionized mass (plasma) and/or radiation hit the Van Allen belt, which is our "shields", it makes the light show. The radiation is what the sattelites and space vehicles are effected by.
Reminds me of the solar storm that hit with such fury and strength during the civil war that the aurora could be seen by soldiers laying on the field of battle at Sharpsburg ( or was it Fredricksbug? )...Now that was a solar storm.

The mass can travel out past Jupiter's orbit before returning to the sun.
Or it might dissipate into the solar wind (mild migration of atoms from the sun into deep space, beyond Pluto)

Well, he wasn't enlisted yet
Maybe he was just observing.

I saw the aurora thing on a movie called Gods and Generals, which was a second take on the Ted Turner Gettysburg film.
Colonel Chamberlain and his brother were hiding amongst the bodies after the battle at night, and looked up and saw the show. It was the first time people had ever witnessed it south of the Canadian border supposedly.
Of course, they didn't have to worry about EM radiation affecting their GPSs either.
I do remember having to load my weapon from the front end and saying to myself "there has to be a better way to do this".
