NASA has chosen to be forth coming with information. Hats off to perhaps a new Public Relations Policy. But then again, how do you hide the whole sky turning shades of pink.

As yesterdays article stated, I expected to see an escalation of solar flares within 72 hours due to the rise of sunspots on Feb. 15th. See Article: http://www.earthchangesTV.com/breaking/February2000/0217sunspot.htm.
Today NASA has openly disclosed that an M-Class followed by a CME occurred on Feb.17th with the expectation of  a "almost" direct hit. They have put out a warning for the public to expect a high aurora which is likely to turn our skies pinkish, bluish, red. I have a feeling this one will be so large, we will see it in parts of the US never before seen. (at least in hundreds of years).

I am expecting a rapid escalation of Earth Changes to occur. Solar activity will escalate exponential, initiation extreme weather in the form of floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanic activity, and perhaps even earthquakes. This would be a good time to view an article I wrote almost a year ago regarding human behavior and change.

Equation: Sunspots  = Solar Flares = Magnetic Shift = Shifting Ocean/Jet Stream Currents = Extreme Weather

(NASA) A solar flare on February 17 was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that appears to be headed almost directly for Earth. Geomagnetic activity, including aurora, may be observed beginning February 19th or 20th.

Two M-class solar flares erupted in quick succession on February 17. Both events were somewhat unexpected as the sunspot groups they came from showed very little activity prior to flaring. The second flare, in particular, occurred near a small and apparently innocuous sunspot identified by the NOAA Space Environment Center as active region # 8872. The eruption from 8872 was accompanied by a coronal "halo event." Halo events are coronal mass ejections aimed toward the Earth. As they loom larger and larger they appear to envelope the Sun, forming a halo around our star.

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 interfere with or even damage electric power transmission equipment. Energetic particles and radiation from solar flares reach the Earth is just minutes. The slower-moving material from a coronal mass ejection usually takes days to reach our planet. The leading edge of the February 17 CME could reach the Earth by February 19 or 20.
