05/14/2013 – She’ll be coming ’round the sun when she comes

May 14, 2013

AR 1748 is near the sun’s eastern limb.  Already it has caused three radio blackouts.  AR means active region, read sunspot group.  It’s been kicking up quite a ruckus as it’s poised to rotate onto the earth facing side of the  sun.  this afternoon spaceweather.com‘s servers appear to be overloaded.  I was able to get into the governments NOAA spaceweather website for the latest information.

We could be in for a week of so of northern lights.  More later.
