One 1988 CME knocked out the power grid in Quebec (the size of France.......).......Alfred Just In...NASA Now States Series Of CME's Occurred Last Week...02/03/00 by Mitch Battros (ECTV) NASA just came out today disclosing a series of CME's (coronal mass ejections) had occurred last week starting on January 28th. Why did they wait until now to disclose what could have been devastating to satellites and power grids? What else have they NOT disclosed. How could this not have been shown on the several SOHO and other solar activities sites we all have access to? Are we being played the fool? Is there indeed more to the story? Is it just a coincidence this story came out just one day after our report of a scientist who alleges to be close to the case, came out with information suggesting NASA has been withholding solar activity measurements due to "national security"? How will this latest series affect our weather? Once again, so many questions, too few answers. Will the NASA public relations EVER get it right? You would think they would understand the nature of man. When a void is created, we will fill it in. It's our nature. Perhaps there is a struggle within NASA over the issue of disclosure vs lies and disinformation. It is my belief there is an event or series of events that are just around the corner. I believe a solar event that NASA, nor any other government agency will be able to hide. I believe there is an internal struggle on how to gently let the public in on it. Time is running out and squabbles are beginning to occur. Reminder, all science and their findings are presumed "subjective conjecture". Do not follow my truth, or anyone else. Follow Your Truth... More to come! NASA Space Science News...02/03/00 NASA - Beginning on January 28, 2000, SOHO recorded a series of dramatic solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as the Sun belched billions of tons of hot gas into interplanetary space. One of them, sighted on January 31, displayed swirling loops reminiscent of Bilbo Baggins's most elegant smoke rings. Coronal mass ejections can carry up to 10 billion tons of plasma traveling at speeds as high as 2000 km/s. When they collide directly with Earth they can excite geomagnetic storms, which have been linked to satellite communication failures. In extreme cases, such storms can induce electric currents in the Earth and oceans that can interfere with or even damage electric power transmission equipment. Fortunately, none of the latest CMEs were headed in our direction. Earth-directed mass ejections produce what astronomers call "Halo events." As they loom larger and larger they appear to envelope the Sun itself. The recent batch of CMEs -- mostly seen in profile -- look very much like expanding tangled loops. While there is some visual similarity to smoke rings, the physics of a CME is different. Common down-to-Earth smoke rings are spinning doughnut-shaped bundles of unmagnetized, neutral gas. They have lower pressure on the inside than the outside, and can travel considerable distances as they expand and dissipate into the surrounding air. On the other hand, gas inside a coronal mass ejection is completely ionized and permeated by strong magnetic fields. The magnetic forces dominate the movements and structure of the plasma. Most of the loops seen in a CME are hot glowing gas trapped inside curved magnetic fields.
