Looks like a good one. C2 and C3 got the fuzzies shortly after the burst. Wonder how its going to screw up DX radio transmissions.

looks like an animation of the flare from different perspectives, note the position of the planets.  1st is top down on solar system, second is with fixed view of earth, third is some sort of projection map?

Damn, we just got our power back after 72 hours without, and now you're telling me it could go out again?

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I'm just waiting till we get a flare big enough to kill all the communication/GPS/whatever satellites and leave the modern world in chaos so I can run off to the mountains and live Dick Proenneke or Marty Stouffer style.

I hate civilization.  :mad:
