Analysts at the GSFC Space Weather Lab say the combined cloud should reach Earth on August 5th at 13:55 UT plus or minus 7 hours: "The impact on Earth is likely to be major. The estimated maximum geomagnetic activity index level Kp is 7 (Kp ranges from 0 - 9). The flanks of the CME may also impact STEREO A, Mars and Mercury/MESSENGER."<br> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/20110803_161900_anim.tim-den.gif">http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/20110803_161900_anim.tim-den.gif</a><br> <br> I hope everybody has plenty to suntan lotion ready, and their equipment off line, this could be quite a ride.<br> <br> -jma<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> James M.

The latest blast at 0357 UT on August 4th registered M9.3 on the Richter Scale of Flares, almost crossing the threshold into X-territory (X-flares are the most powerful kind). Also, at least two coronal mass ejections are en route to Earth, and they could provoke mild to moderate geomagnetic storms when they arrive on August 4th through 6th.
