SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

First of all--Sorry about the wrong day's SOHO images I posted. I was half-asleep and forgot that ONR's "latest images" are now 3 days behind for some reason.

It's been almost 24 hours and still no images from SOHO for the time period of the CME. Huge data gap here. No CACTus and no Lasco SEEDS movies from 17:30z-23:00z. STEREO Behind shows a CME somewhat Earth-directed, so unless proven otherwise, I assume another CME is enroute.

SIDC has sided with NOAA's mistaken claim that the C5.8 flare was produced by 1654-it wasn't. I'm glad to see Solarsoft is sticking to their correction and they (as I've done) supply visual evidence. Here's the caption for their movie of the event-"One GOES 5.8 Two near-simultaneous Source Regions N11E29 w/wave AR 1654 N03W63 w/southward ejecta" It's obvious when you see the movie:

Wow! Here's Russian video of the same event in slow-motion. Look at how the solar surface appears to be boiling. Incredibly beautiful.

nice

wow nice one,it looks almost fluidic movement like oil in a water drop?

the surface seems denser material when you see it in slo mo

Our CME has arrived early (at least the first one)!

Off topic but wanted to let you all know the sinkhole news. Started a new thread.

Thread: BREAKING! Increased seismic activity at the Bayou Corne Sinkhole this morning!

I have to go away for awhile, so here's some links for those following the geomagnetic conditions-

Try to figure out why everyone here is pretending to ignore that simulation...

LOL. Why do you think anyone is ignoring it ??

he he he he he he

Just gorgeous, thanks for bringing us those vids, I appreciate your passion for the sun.

thanks ec, will check it out

I feel like your mother. Where are you going and how long will you be gone...lol? vague answers will suffice

Somethin smells fishy.

Seems I've killed the Sol thread.

Geomagnetic storm has fizzled so far...things may be changing soon though. The GOES magnetometer shows a big deviation now:

There should be some high latitude aurora.

I was just going to post this and saw your post Hugh

I wonder if the second CME ever got here. The glancing blow may have been a clean miss. Sometimes, tho, the back end gives us some more action. I see the sun has gone back to sleep...oh, well....

WOW! Gorgeous aurora visible at Aurora Sky Station right now!!

AWESOME:

As usual, we'll have to wait and see (wnc-new acronym). Yeah, those aurora are awesome.

More aurora-cams...

Good night everyone. Peace

Can anyone give me a scientific explanation as to why there is a 90 degree angle in the southwest quadrant of the coronal hole.


And I'll shut up.

Our system is so amazing! Nice vid Hugh!

I don't know if there is one Da. Don't forget, we are looking at a 3D object in 2D, so its hard to tell if it is actually a 90 degree angle in real life.

:tridoom:

I see you.
