[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM5NjM1OTY0XzVEOTU1OTM4] [b]Mysterious magnetar boasts one of strongest magnetic fields in Universe[/b]- Scientists using ESA’s XMM-Newton space telescope have discovered that[b] a curious dead star has been hiding one of the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe[/b] all along, despite earlier suggestions of an unusually low magnetic field. The object, known as SGR 0418+5729 (or SGR 0418 for short), is a magnetar, a particular kind of neutron star. A small proportion of neutron stars form and live briefly as magnetars, named for their[b] extremely intense magnetic fields, billions to trillions of times greater than those generated in hospital MRI machines[/b], for example. These fields cause magnetars to erupt sporadically with bursts of high-energy radiation. SGR 0418 lies in our galaxy, about 6500 light years from Earth. It was first detected in June 2009 by space telescopes including NASA’s Fermi and Roscosmos’ Koronas-Photon when it suddenly lit up in X-rays and soft gamma rays. It has been studied subsequently by a fleet of observatories, including ESA’s XMM-Newton. Interesting discovery: http://spacefellowship.com/news/art34891/mysterious-magnetar-boasts-one-of-strongest-magnetic-fields-in-universe.html Great video of Martian moon eclipse...Phobos and Deimos.

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!
