Solar Flare - Incoming - Fear makes you a slave.

This lovely aurora (photographed by Bjørn Jørgensen from Tromsø, Norway) was the result of the measly 3.5 M-class flare that hit the other night.

"This was amazing," he says. "It was a wonderful experience to see these stunning auroras."

According to SPACEWEATHER, proton density has been dangerously high for most of today and the Coronal Mass Ejection from a nearly-X-class 9.0 M-class flare is headed this way for 'some time Tuesday morning' such that Fox News has a re-routing airlines article bannered SOLAR RAGE to scare the bejesus out of its clergy such that one wonders if the satellites will be falling out of orbit come Wednesday/Thursday.

Dr Terry Onsager from the United States Space Weather Prediction Center said, "When it hits us, it's like a big battering ram that pushes into Earth's magnetic field. That energy causes Earth's magnetic field to fluctuate."

"We've been hit by strong proton storms before, but [never so quickly]," says solar physicist Robert Lin of UC Berkeley. "Proton storms normally develop hours or even days after a flare." This one began in minutes.

Tuesday 24th Evening Update: well, nothing happened. Of course, there were X25 M-class flares in 2003-5 and nothing of great global import happened then either. It's overcast in UK, so no view of Aurora from Oxford. And no satellites even rebooted, from what I can discover, let alone hurtling back to earth with melted innards.

Anyway, here's another pretty picture from Norway.

"The display lasted for a solid hour before pushing south." says Ashton Seth Reimer.

Be afraid, sheople.

Listen to MSM, propaganda.

It's your assigned corporate role, slave.
