Joe Kunches of NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder said one of the NASA satellites tasked with watching for solar weather, SOHO, was “on maneuvers” when the flare launched. That will make the task of predicting the course of any subsequent CME more difficult.
“The home plate umpire wasn’t paying any attention,” said Kunches.
Good grief Joe, would it kill you to just tell us what actually happened with the satellite? Why the all cutesy stuff?

The article didn’t say it was Bush’s fault, but it obviously had to have been, right?

Are we all gonna die?
Should I log out?
Should I take out the trash?
Does this mean I won’t have to pay my electric bill?
So many decisions, so little information.

X1.4—no biggie during all the solar max that we’re going to see now. Spots were, all in all, not very frequent over the past couple of years. The wise will prepare for the fluctuations toward cold about 4-6 years from now in this possible extended minimum. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.

If I run up my Visa bill, will they send the zombies to collect after the CME hits?
