[/quote] From a CH stream? I don't see how, then again this CH formed a perfect triangle at one point. I think it may be our shields being as weak as they are. Our shields started to weaken around 400 years ago, so man being the cause is bullshit. There is something affecting our solar system right now, change is noticeable on almost every planet. This is the end of a cycle. [/quote] I'm assuming you're referring to the ACE low-energy protons graph. Remember that the ACE spacecraft is about a million miles in front of Earth (towards the sun), so it is outside of our 'shields' or magnetosphere. Also these 'Low-energy' protons are measured in kilo-electron volts whereas the GOES proton flux (in Earth orbit) measures the more powerful Mega-electron Volts we see in an SEP (solar energetic particle) event. ACE low-energy protons-24hr. flux plot: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ace/Epam_p_24h.gif GOES proton flux plot: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html As far as what is causing the rise in protons, I haven't been able to find anything yet. Typically, they rise shortly following an energetic flare or CME. I haven't found too many of those today, haha. It's possibly from a far-side event (most likely near the Earth's magnetic footpoint in the SW). I don't believe it's related to the coronal hole winds. If you look at the 7-day plot you can see it's returning to near the same levels we saw on the 20th: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ace/EPAMp_7d.html I am curious as to the source event, though, considering the x-ray flux has been flirting with "A-Levels" today (at least Earth-side). http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_1m.html [/quote] Hello Hugh and all:sun::hf: You say you are not sure about the Protons,I thought you may be interested to know(incase you didn't already)that CMEs' themselves(also CHs')can cause a shockwave that is powerful enough to generate Highly Energetic Particles/SEPs' of 10MeV - 1GeV,here - ' [b][i]outer corona, solar wind & SEPs The geoeffectiveness of an interplanetary CME (ICME) is a result of both its intrinsic character and its ambient solar wind environs. In addition, fast CMEs can produce strong shock waves which in turn are efficient producers of very energetic particles (10MeV to 1GeV). These particles can physically damage spacecraft, and can be extremely dangerous to astronauts[/i][/b]'http://solarmuri.ssl.berkeley.edu/overview/outercorona.html Rice and Peas. [/quote]

We have just had another huge X flare measuring at a X8.2 originating from sunspot 2673
On September 11, 2017
[

]
ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located
-----------
CME FROM X9 HAS ARRIVED!
Issue Time: 2017 Sep 07 2242 UTC
WARNING: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse expected
Valid From: 2017 Sep 07 2255 UTC
Valid To: 2017 Sep 07 2330 UTC
IP Shock Passage Observed: 2017 Sep 07 2229 UTC
On September 6th we have had 2 X flares! A X2.2 at 09:10 utc & a secend larger flare just a few hours later of X9.3 at 12:02 utc. There is a large widespread Earth directed CME associated with this latest X flare as we can see here

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
