Monster Sunspot 1654 Aims Our Way – Earthquake Window Opening As Coronal Mass Ejection To Hit Earth On Thursday!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 14:30
Simulations of a coronal mass ejection (CME) show the impact arrival of
such on January 17th. This coincides with Senior Meteorologist Kevin
Martin's window for an earthquake in North America. The Sun is
acting up again, with large sunspots moving across the solar disk. The
sunspots are powerful enough for x-class solar flares, the most powerful
of them all.
While a 10% chance is now given for such a flare, one is already on the
way. This should impact on January 17th and go into the 18th. As it
does so, aurora will be likely in the middle to upper north and south
latitude locations. Strangely, this coincides with Martin's earthquake window. "Using
HS network and my own theory (posted here), we are getting close to the
next larger quake in the Western North America region between Mexico
and Alaska," said Martin. "because the CME from the Sun is joining in
during the quake window, all indicators are showing up." Because all
indications are showing up, Martin says it is "go time" for unsettled
seismic activity. - The Weather Space Network.
CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-class solar flares, and a 5% chance of X-flares today. The probable source would be big sunspot AR1654, which is squarely facing Earth. Sunspot AR1654 has a beta-gamma magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. - Space Weather.
SOLAR UPDATE: Solar activity is low with several low level C-Class flares detected around various locations across the visible solar disk. There will remain a chance for an isolated M-Class event around Sunspot 1654. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is visible this morning in STEREO-Ahead COR2 imagery, however it does not look to be Earth directed at this time. A slow moving Coronal Mass Ejection (371 km/s) generated by a solar flare on Sunday morning, is expected to impact our geomagnetic field by January 17th. - Solar Ham.
MONSTER SUNSPOT AIMING OUR WAY: According
to SpaceWeather.com, AR1654 "could be the sunspot that breaks the
recent lengthy spell of calm space weather around our planet." The image
above, captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory earlier today,
shows the structure of AR1654 upon the Sun's photosphere—its
light-emitting "surface" layer. Stretching many tens of thousands of
miles, this magnetic solar blemish easily dwarfs our entire planet. And
it's not just a prediction that this sunspot will unleash a flare—it
already has. AR1654 came around the limb...

| Like an enormous cannon that is slowly turning its barrel toward us, the latest giant sunspot region AR1654 is steadily moving into position to face Earth, loaded with plenty of magnetic energy to create M-class flares—moderate-sized outbursts of solar energy that have the potential to cause brief radio blackouts on Earth and, at the very least, spark bright aurorae around the upper latitudes.
