Solar Flare to hit Earth on Thursday Morning 8th March 2012

Mar 8th

One more solar flare due to sun’s eruption occurred and it is the largest of the last five years. The New York Times reports that the coronal mass ejection will hit earth at about 1:30 a.m on Thursday morning. The solar flare is racing toward Earth, threatening to unleash a torrent of charged particles that could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights.

The sun erupted Tuesday evening, and the effects should start smacking Earth around 4 a.m. PST today, according to forecasters at the federal government’s Space Weather Prediction Center. They say the flare is growing as it speeds outward from the sun.

NASA captured a video of the solar flare as it erupted and hurled a “big blob of magnetized material” toward the earth. The AR1429 sunspot region shouts off a solar flare on Sunday and two more yesterday. The AR1429 region is currently pointing almost directly at earth which means that the coronal mass ejection could have a big impact on earth.

Another set of active sunspots is ready to aim at Earth right after this. But for now, scientists are waiting to see what happens today when the charged particles hit Earth at 4 million mph. More >

The spring of 2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. In 1912, the city of Tokyo, Japan gave Washington DC an incredible gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees to be planted around the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park, in East Potomac Park and on the grounds of the Washington Monument. The 100th anniversary of these beautiful trees will be celebrated from March 20– April 27, 2012.

This year’s century celebration of National Cherry Blossom Festival is expected to be the biggest celebration ever. The bloom period for the cherry blossoms lasts approximately 14 days. The average peak bloom date is around April 4th, which means that by the later weeks of the festival the blooms will be gone.

On Mar 25, 2012, Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place will
launch the 100th Anniversary of the Gift of the Washington Cherry Blossom More >

For the 84th annual Academy Awards, celebrities walk the red carpet, pose for the hundreds of waiting photographers and chat with reporters. Couples like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to excited up-and-comers like Jessica Chastain and Shailene Woodley made to Oscars Red Carpet. It doesn’t get bigger than this when it comes to star-studded events. The best part of any award show is seeing what everybody is wearing. No particular gown stood out but then I didn’t see anything that would fit the hideous category either. Lets see who got right?  Meryl Streep dazzled the red carpet with a Golen sparkling Gown. George Clooney is as handsome as ever walked with his girlfriend. Green, which is not an easy color to pull off, worked for Viola Davis. Her emerald Vera Wang popped against her burnished skin and was fitted at the hips like a coat of latex paint. Octavia Spencer is the best dressed in her gorgeously draped Tadashi Shoji with an ultra flattering sequined starburst at the waistline and foxy train. Michelle Williams wear a Coral strapless Louis Vuitton with a peplum waist. To view the Oscars Red Carpet gallery click More >
