The Perseid Meteor shower is kicking ass right now. If you find yourself out during the hours of 1 – 4 am stumbling home from a bar/club/booty call, or are just up at that time for whatever reason at all-try and lift your head up towards the sky to see if you can make that wish upon a falling star coming from the region of Perseus’s Cluster.

But for those of us who usually are asleep at that time, another way to enjoy these falling rocks during the day is to listen to live meteor radio echoes of the ping backs given off by these big balls of hard space mud. It’s much nicer to listen to the dingleberries from the cluster go whizzing by, vs having to seem them I guess…

Old Sunspot 1093 is turning towards our spinning rock and hopefully it will not wink at us with its CME gaze. By tomorrow we will be in its line of fire.

So get out the tin foil…start building that I-Sun Protection Pad…back up your hard drives…and be sure to listen to your radios as the I-Sun is also broadcasting it’s fury on 21 MHz.

I believe this frame is what D wanted to highlight?

Everybody panic, your technology will be worthless.

Space Weather is coming from you today from this god awful tourist trap from hell called Orlando Florida.  The only good thing about Orlando is its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center & Cocoa Beach.  Other then that, the next massive CME can hopefully take this place out.  Although, with the heat and humidity here right now, it already feels as if it is…

The I-Sun is blowing it’s top right now and the I-Earth facing side of the I-Sun has had within the last few days a magnitude of CME’s, solar tsunami’s, multiple filaments of magnetism coming off the solar surface, large scale shaking of the solar corona, radio bursts, and more.

I would post a pic or the movie of fun on the I-Sun but the wireless internet connection here sucks so bad I am lucky just to be able to post this…

Space weather is coming to you today from our friends in Minneapolis.

The I-Sun seems to have an erection in the shape of a large magnetic filament that is throbbing on its surface.

Researchers at SDO say that filaments can become unstable and either explode or crash back down onto the I-Sun’s surface. The way the heat has been rocking the hometown, I think we need Mrs I-Sun to come in and give our guy a hand release.

Sunspot 1087 is turning towards I-Earth and this sunspot is ready to party.

As you can see from the little I-Earth in the corner of the photo, Sunspot 1087 is massive and is large enough to swallow 10 I-Earths and still have some room for perhaps a Venus, Mars, Mercury, and 1/2 of Jupiter.

This sunspot has a “beta delta” magnetic field that contains enough energy for “M” class solar flares. “M” class flares have the power to “heat and puff up Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing satellites to experience extra drag as they orbit our planet; they can also cause waves of ionization to ripple around the planet, disrupting radio communications.” NOAA forecasters are predicting we have a 10% chance of getting some M class flare blowback from 1087 within the next 24 hours.

A possibly very large sunspot on the I-Sun’ surface is slowly turning to face I-Earth and as for me, well listen to this:

This same sunspot set off some very large CME’s recently, and just blew its top again this morning. If this sunspot continues to erupt when facing the I-Earth, it means auroras, and geo-magnetic storms probably hitting sometime next week, so make sure you back up your files.

Look whats coming our way…

A sunspot on the other side of the sun is rotating around to face us.   This sunspot has been extremely active and will be geo-effective.

Sunspot 1084, although a stable sunspot, has a very fabulous swirl of hot gas and magnetic energy spinning around it like hot Wookie mess in drag caught up on a turntable.

Thanks to the folks over at NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory for this fantastic UV image showing that something this flaming has to have a rainbow.
