2024-09-17X-4.5 CME IMPACT AND LIGHT SHOW

Posted on 2024-09-17 by Librarian

The CME from Saturday’s X-4.5 Flare hit the Earth late yesterday afternoon. The Aurora was visible as far South as Texas. Sadly we had storms all day yesterday and overcast with rain last night so we missed it. We haven’t seen the Northern Lights since we left Alaska many years ago.

That Sunspot is still passing across the face of the sun and is still a threat. Still the sequence was a good reminder of the process.

The Flare occurred last Saturday. The CME arrived Monday afternoon. Thus we had about a 48 hour lag between the actual Flare and the CME impact. Hopefully if there is a large one, X-10+, we’ll have at least some warning before the impact.

Not sure how much good the warning will do for most folks but for some of us anyway it will be a short time to store away a few more supplies, put a few more things in a Faraday Cage, maybe make a run to the local Farm Supply store for seeds and other last minute preparations.
