[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMwMjM2NTM4XzNDRjJCMDE5] Tonight NASA will attempt to launch the 5 synchronized tracer rockets from Wallops Island, VA. The launch window is from midnight to 3AM EDT. The ATREX mission is study the wind streams in the troposphere. For those not in the viewing area, [b]NASA will be streaming video on the web beginning now[/b] with an 8PM countdown. http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/webcast/ ATREX rocket launch and camera positions: :ATREX camera: The rockets tracer-trails will be visible for approx. 20 mins. :visibility: NASA: "In 3-D turbulence, one sees complicated movement," says Larsen. "But there's a tendency for 2-D turbulence to behave almost in the opposite manner – the airflow coalesces into single streams, like a jet stream." [b]This kind of airflow would also be strongly enhanced by the combination of electrical currents in the region and the rate of the Earth's rotation[/b]. Together, this connection might result in the fast, coherent streams of air so far observed. The rockets being used for the mission are two Terrier-Improved Malemutes, two Terrier-Improved Orions and one Terrier-Oriole. [b]In order for the launches to occur, clear skies are required at three special camera sites located along the coast in Virginia, North Carolina and New Jersey.[/b] NASA has used TMA for decades as part of rocket studies from sites worldwide to study the near-space environment. TMA burns slowly and produces visible light that can be tracked visually and with special camera equipment. [b]The products of the reaction when TMA is exposed to air or water are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor. Aluminum oxides are used to combat heartburn and to purify drinking water[/b]. Also, all three products occur naturally in the atmosphere. The TMA poses no threat to the public during preparation on the ground or during the release in space.

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!
