"X-FLARE! Big sunspot AR1520 unleashed an X1.4-class solar flare on July 12th. Because the sunspot is directly facing Earth, everything about the blast was geoeffective. For one thing, it hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward our planet. According to a forecast track prepared by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME will hit Earth on July 14th around 10:20 UT (+/- 7 hours) and could spark strong geomagnetic storms. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend."

Time to make sure the camera batteries are charged (now if only the sun would go down during the night it would help too).

Its OK, I phoned Obama and made sure he arranges for Europe to be facing away from the sun when it hits.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Don't worry, the sun can not be up during night time, i think night is defined as the period of time between the sun sets and raises ;)

There was a bigger flare that hit yesterday. I doubt this one will do much.

Solar flare released on July 12
Going to reach Earth on July 14

12 + 14 = 26

July is the seventh month of the year, times 2

7 * 2 = 14

14 + 26 = 40

40 * 1.4 ( X1.4-class solar flare ) = 56

56 / 2 (days of transit) = 28.

Take away the damage caused by sunspot AR1520

28 - 1 - 5 - 2 - 0 = 20

Add the odd days in today's date and take away the even.

1 + 3 + 7 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 8

20 * 8 = 160

Days remaining until December 21, 2012


160




COINCIDENCE?!

if you take the date 14 07 2012 and do 14072012/99999999 you get 0, 14 07 2012 ... repeating

does it mean anything?, i don't think so, but math is fun

Looking forward to see some aurorae tomorrow, they are always a breathtaking sight regardless of how often you see them.

I have secured a goodly supply of port, some fine cigars, lamps, lamp oil, and I can finaly get to work reading through my collection of Arthur Conan Doyle, and Dickens.
