sw..

Solar activity is so low, NOAA forecasters say the chance of a strong flare today is less than 1%. Boring? Even the quiet sun has points of interest. Consider this extreme ultraviolet image taken during the early hours of May 20th by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:

see pic on site..

Shown above, a hedgerow of cool, dark plasma held aloft by magnetic fields is backlit by the hot solar corona. The entire "bush" is about eight times wider than Earth. Before the Hubble-sharp cameras of SDO were brought to bear on the sun, structures like this were seen either in poor detail or not at all. As a result, no one can say with any surety what will happen next. Will the plasma weigh down its magnetic support and collapse, bringing an end to the quiet, or instead remain a simple point of interest?

'Its always quietest before the storm', or so its said...

Info handed from a source today that random areas of the power grid covering states around Lake Michigan and Superior and Northern Miss. basin will be down for unscheduled emergency maintenance this weekend.

I'm not concerned, but there's enough rapture tards out there that you may want to have a radio and fresh batteries on hand, but keep them in your microwave just in case. ;)

Dear children of Urantia, fear not, for I am here with you. I am the voice of the Father crying out. There are some events that will soon break out upon your world. One event will soon break out. I cannot tell you Urantian children what will occur for it must be a surprise for you, just as it will be a surprise for all of your brethren.

This is a part of the cleansing process children. It may seem to all of you that this is unnecessarily cruel, but it is not.

Was this last one pretty close to 60 degrees west?? Read below..


[link to science.nasa.gov]

"We have an important clue," says Lin. When the explosion occurred, sunspot 720 was located at a special place on the sun: 60o west longitude. This means "the sunspot was magnetically connected to Earth."



He explains: The sun's magnetic field spirals out into the solar system like water from a lawn sprinkler. (Why? The sun spins like a lawn sprinkler does.) The magnetic field emerging from solar longitude 60o W bends around and intersects Earth. Protons are guided by magnetic force fields so, on January 20th, there was a superhighway for protons leading all the way from sunspot 720 to our planet.

[link to science.nasa.gov]

I missed this the first time I read the article...The "Superhighway"....something to keep in mind...Now WE know anything that comes through that area would be worth watching...can`t believe nobody here has heard of this before or discussed it..Definately new knowledge to me

So anything shot out at 60o west would reach the earth alot faster than a normal CME..

sh..

Solar Update - Solar activity remains at very low levels heading into the weekend. Sunspot 1214 is making its way towards the western limb and Sunspot 1218 is struggling to remain visible. Sunspot 1216 is rotating towards the center of the visible solar disk and remains a fairly large, but magnetically simple spot. There is no chance for strong solar flares. A tiny new sunspot did rotate into view on the northeast limb.

yawn

the xray flux is flatlining, somebody needs to give sol come cpr or we may be going back into solar minimum:/..

Yup....

Checkin in..

All looks relatively quiet on the solar side of things. They are forecasting tornado doom for my neck of the woods tomorrow, so I guess I will be on the lookout for those.

Between the research and the 'voodoo magic' I use to make my 'guesstimates,' I'd say around mid June things should be heating up and/or at least interesting (along with the rest of the summer and with all else taking place in this crazy world!) I also believe they (the MSM/etc) will no longer be able to keep things as contained as they are now from the public at large. (eh, I'm no Harold Camping but we'll see. lmao)

Glad to see you guys checkin in. I've been out clearing trees and collecting firewood, nice to get an early start with the sun not blasting us with xrays for a while. Perfect weather here in Tahoe:)

The sun will come back to life in 3, 2, 1....:/

Solar Update - Things are very very quiet on the sun and it almost looks like we are almost back in 2008 during solar minimum. The only numbered sunspot is 1216 located in the southern hemisphere and there is no chance for strong solar flares. A small new sunspot looks to be forming in the northern hemisphere.
