Natural Disaster News

• Solar flare to hit Earth today
  -Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) produced by an enormous sun spot named AR 1476.
  -According to the joint U.S. Air Force / NOAA report of Solar and Geophysical Activity, solar activity is expected to be at low levels with a slight chance for an M-class flare all three days (19 - 21 May).
  -The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with isolated active periods on day 1 (19 May) due to a possible shock arrival from the 17 May CME.  Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on day 2 (20 May).  Mostly quiet conditions are expected on day 3 (21 May). There is a slight chance for shock enhancement of the greater than 10 MeV protons above 10 pfu on day 1.
  -A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as a large energy release of up to 6 × 1025 joules of energy. Solar flares were first observed on the Sun by Richard Christopher Carrington and independently by Richard Hodgson in 1859.
