Thanks for the post cornbread, I will use it. I can clearly see the two sunspot groups in the lower right quadrant of the sun with my 8" refractor telescope, but I cannot see any flares.
The interpretation for the CME predicted for this date is derived by two PhD's one in astrophysics, and one in biochemistry. These two "real-life" scientists have been taking crop circles very seriously for the last several years and have collaborated upon these interpretations. They have discovered consistency in symbols that they have deduced to represent the sun, moon, earth, comets, and particularly eclipses. Their previous interpretations depicting a variety of solar and lunar eclipse events has proven to be accurate. Their interpretation for this mass coronal event to me seems logically internally consistent. It is long and tedious and scholarly, but can be read in its entirety on the Crop Circle Connector website. However, their interpretation could be incorrect. But if it is correct it means both that the interpretation was correct and that humans cannot be the creators of the genuine crop circle phenoomenon because human scientists cannot predict such solar events with this kind of accuracy.
Who are the two PhD's? is there a link to their site avaliable?
IMHO, I think that any "interpretation" is only based on the researchers beliefs and opinions, before ANYONE can interpret the symbols meaning you need a key/legend/ Rossetta stone. And I'm not aware of one in exsistance.
As too the circles origins? Some are explainable by way of human endeavour.
The others? you guess is as good as the "experts" until hard proof is found...
Oh yeah...... Cool pics of Sol.
