MAKINGS OF A SUPER-REGION - A POTENTIALLY STORMY FUTURE

The sunspot complex believed to be responsible for the X-class solar
flare of 21 July rotated fully into view today and announced its arrival by
spawning a spectacularly powerful class X4.8 solar flare. This significant
flaring region has the potential to produce substantial effects at the Earth
over the next two weeks if it can hold itself together that long.

For the complete story, please visit:

There are too many illustrations required in this alert to present
adequately through this e-mail. Please refer to the link above for details.

This presumed proton flare produced a massive Moreton Wave and a high
velocity partial halo coronal mass ejection (images of this activity are
included on the web site).

The next two weeks may see more "fire in the sky" than we have in the
last 10 years if the spot complex continues to pump out activity at the
furious rate that it is presumed to have produced over the last week.

Hallo,

Wenn man sich das aktuelle C3-MPEG ansieht, scheinen seit Ende des 17.7. incl. des X 4.8 fünf CME's aus dieser Region gekommen zu sein.

Der bildschöne rückwärtige CME vom 16.7. (rechnerisch aus ca. E20)
als 6.CME ebenso - zur Erinnerung:

Nun darf man vielleicht neugierig sein, ob insbesondere der Genosse Murphy sich diese "Dauererektion" weitere 2 Wochen gefallen lässt oder ob der ganze Zauber bis dato überhaupt nur eine weitere Gemeinheit von ihm ist.

Gruß Herwig

Genosse Murphy erteilt garantiert ein Erektionsverbot fuer die naechsten 14 Tage .... *o.T.*

Spielverderber...oder doch nur Pessimist? *o.T.*

Eher Realist, warte aber auf PL *o.T.*
