Washington: A US satellite that offers the only advance warnings of incoming solar storms is more than a decade past its expected orbital lifetime and is possibly on its last legs, researchers say.

Stationed around 1 million miles from Earth. NASA?s Advanced Composition Explorer satellite, nicknamed ACE, cautions about incoming high-energy particles from the sun which can wreak havoc on radio, GPS, satellite communications that are now embedded in modern life.

?It would be a very bad day for us if that spacecraft was not working,? the Discovery News quoted William Murtagh, program coordinator for NOAA?s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo., as saying.

?When an eruption occurs on the sun, there are still quite a few question marks as to if it?s going to hit the Earth and when it?s going to hit the Earth,.?

It's Breaking if you don't know about it. The more attention an issue gets the better, who cares who gets credit?

I could care less.

It's imperative that as many people know as possible.

I apologize if there was already another thread on this.

Mrore like an early Reporting system, rather than a warning system.

It shows what happened on the sun at least 8 minutes ago.
And then it's delayed a few more minutes before it's posted.

So no warning, never.

Once again, I will apologize to the keepers of all things search related.

If I only would have searched for Solartards... We would not even be posting in such a ridiculous thread.
