this monitor for little over a year and a half and the radiation belt rarely had all those colors pushing on it when I first started watching. That only happened after M and X class solar flares... (we have been experiencing almost constant M class flares for about two weeks now) but since about Nov. 2012, this - what you see here - has become the norm.

Found at: http://solarimg.org/artis/ where there is a lot more info. (An amazing information portal from Canada)
Might be why so many volcanoes are going off too, some claim that the energy/waves/particles could be heating up the magma and other parts of the planet we don't normally pay attention to. Seems like every time there is a large flare there are pretty hefty earthquakes...(5+M), a correlation that was made when the Fukushima Daichi quake and tsunami events happened... was a major X class flare/CME at the same time the quake happened. Same with the one in the Indian Ocean in 2004. Something to ponder.
