They're seeing this in Ireland right now...
All the best,

Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
Turns out we have exceptionally high solar activity right now, with a category 4 solar flair expected to impact the planet, potentially affecting satellite communications, electronics and power grids.
Of course, if history is any guide the news is absolutely over excited over this, at best those in the northern states may see pretty lights at night. I was particularly amused this afternoon at a CNN weather person recommending you unplug your dryer just to be safe. I mean, is that really the most important appliance in his house? 🤣
Also, kind of off topic, if you have binoculars or a telescope with the right solar filters you can catch a glimpse of the dark spots on the sun associated with this CME. Amazing to imagine that it is about 15-16x wider than the earth.

Does anyone know if there is a way to block a poster so their posts are not visible? There is one particular poster who posts meaningless paragraphs about everything under the sun - mostly incorrect. I politely sent that person a pm asking him to keep posts short and the reply was rude and offensive. Thank you in advance. |
@laoman , to the best of my knowledge, this site has no blocking feature. I suppose that all that you can do if you find the content of a post objectionable (and given the content of the particular post, I can see how that might be) is to report it by clicking on the date and time at the upper RH corner of post and then following the prompts. |
