HIGH SOLAR ACTIVITY: Behemoth sunspot AR1515 is crackling with M-class solar flares and appears to be on the verge of producing an X-class explosion. NOAA forecasters estimate an 80% chance of M-flares and a 25% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours. X-flare alerts: text, voice.

NEW SUNSPOT: A new sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern limb, and it appears to be a big one. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught a first glimpse of the spot's dark cores during the early hours of July 6th:

Solar activity is already high. The addition of this new active region could boost the chance of flares even more. For a better view, check back later today as the sunspot turns more squarely toward Earth.

INCOMING CME: On July 4th, sunspot AR1515 hurled at least four minor CMEs into space. Most flew south of the ecliptic plane (the orbital plane of the planets), on track to miss everything. One of them, however, appears to be heading toward Earth. Click to view an animated forecast track of the incoming cloud:

According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, who prepared the forecast, the cloud will reach Earth on July 7th around 0600 UT. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on that date. Aurora alerts: text, voice.

  • thats what I noted, 'to the south of the sun' as soon as I read the words. so, is something pulling from the South?

    I think we are confusing Nibiru with Planet x, the two I firmly believe are entirely different objects. Nibiru is a planet, planet x is a brown dwarf.

  • According to Nasa it is only the sun going thru a worse than usual phase. But the magnetosphere of the earth has been getting hammered even when there are no bad sunspots or cmes? And it also seems to be pointed slightly to the south of the sun. Which along with the many other symptoms of drastic earth changes going on, lead me to think Nibiru is responsible and getting closer all the time? Its a two edged sword. Without some help from higher Spiritual beings we are going to be in for One rough ride and maybe even then?
