orientating ourselves within our moving group

[Quote:observation]What is the question? The question is "If the sun is spiraling around in some Birkeland current filament (the local interstellar cloud), where is the other filament? You can't just have one filament!"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Cloud

So Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun, is not in the Local Interstellar Cloud? It's in a cloud right next to ours, and it's cloud is "interacting" with our cloud.
Since sometimes it's easier to step back and look at the bigger picture:

Now superimpose the picture from the first link.[/Quote]

[Quote:Theosophy] Would you consider that the “filament”, perhaps the primary one, for our Sun exist at the ‘interface’ between these “clouds” and thus the reason for the way the Sun is depicted as being offset from center in comparison to the two? All of the references previewed thus far suggest that we are simply moving through them, or that they are simply moving past us.[/Quote]

[Quote:obdervation]Compare the diagram in section 6.8 here:http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2011/12/06/essential-guide-to-the-eu-chapter-6/
with the picture in:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Cloud
The local cloud and G cloud are a twisted pair. The sun is near the center and traveling nearly axially. The average particle in the Local cloud is more distant from the central axis, and so the cloud has a more azimuthal component.
This is why we don't see are sun moving with the local cloud,but instead see them moving at nearly right angles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Local_Interstellar_Clouds_with_motion_arrows.jpg  Or again in this picture, the sun moving nearly down the center of this spiral (which appears to be well defined at the tip of the sun's directional arrow), and the local cloud spiraling more AROUND that axis

Why is the sun spiraling so closely along the central axis, while the filament (LIC) as a whole sweeps out a wider path? the answer is here:http://archive.stsci.edu/hut/papers/afdscirev_b/node7.html    The q/m for the local cloud is actually LOWER than q/m of the sun.[/Quote]

Original Message

An X-2 class solar flare recently missed a direct impact with Earth.

Heliophysicists classify solar flares according to their brightness in X-ray wavelengths. C-class flares are the smallest on the scale, with X-ray measurements in the 10^-6 watts per square meter range (W/m^2), while X-class flares can exceed 10^-4 W/m^2. Why is that important?

An X-2 solar flare has enough energy to overload satellite circuits and disrupt other forms of communication should its full force be directed at Earth.

Modern astronomers believe that solar flares, or coronal mass ejections (CME), occur when magnetic reconnection events in the Sun’s atmosphere cause a short circuit in magnetic field lines. According to one theory, “magnetic energy” then accelerates the superheated gases into space. Although no one knows what “magnetic reconnection” is, it is the only explanation offered................
