...... You're really a good writer! Why don't you write a book about our earth is being intruded?

Solar storm is coming ... What will it affect us?

are you sure....?

what I've read from NASA, there won't be one until the max solar cycle somewhere in late 2007 to 2008....

Isn't when Solar Minimum is approaching, solar storm is coming?

solar minimum = The period of time when sunspots and other activities are least frequent, although not usually absent...

solar maximum = The period of time around the peak of the sunspot cycle when sunspots and other activities are most frequent

apparently the Sun is now dormant until the next cycle in 2008....

EDITED: typo error....

Right, Eithanius, solar wind is always present whether at solar maximum or minimum. A solar storm is just when the wind speed/pressure is higher than normal.

so you're right too, Mr.LKM, there is a report that there was a storm on the way and for the ppl near the north pole to expect some nice auroras.

BTW i wonder whether the hurricane (i was right in the middle of it) which hit Subang Jaya was in any way related to a solar storm. Our meteorologists say it was caused by a high altitude cloud microburst......maybe driven high up by the solar wind?

And have you guys been following two events:

1. The discovery of water geysers on Enceladus. Wonderful, i think we'll ask our alien fiends to stop by there for a picnic instead of making war plans.

2. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has braked successfully into orbit. We will start having a treat of high res pics of Mars at the end of the year!

read that on CNN...., and my NASA widget.... ....

wot's that? you got some spy device planted in NASA HQ ah?

for me can only go though official channels...NASA WEBTV......

For me, I rather go to my blog

you sure the link to your blog works....?

Something occurs just now, I requested my web hosting provider to terminate my current account and setup a new one. Please wait for a moment.

Mr.LKM's blog is like a comet; very hard to detect, and always changing position.....
But it's a wonderful sight when you manage to see it.

Wow, you are really good in expressing...

or maybe it just happened to went down into Jupiter like Shoemaker....

Omg... everyone here is poisoned by astronomy...

so sad, no more ppl can post here, all died already.

BTW tomorrow morning can see part of a penumbral eclipse of the moon.......

i wanna see the total solar eclipse in Libya....

tonight full moon go out can see now.
the moon will be entering the first phase of the penumbral eclipse at sunrise, but after that it will be below the horizon so we no see the rest of the eclipse.........

you can also run it on SNP.
