SOLAR WATCH * 248 M & 18 X FLARES starting 3-7-2011 (Updated Daily)

The Magnetic Footprint this Morning was just beyond the Western limb,the Magnetic footprint and the actual Earth/Sun alignment are separate descriptions.

Magnetic means that we could have a event on the backside of the Western Limb that due to the 'Magnetic Portal' could become Geo-effective.

This appears to be actually Geo-effective placed - The Earth being about 3 on the dial on Stereo Ahead(I think).

Found this with conjunctions, SO also has us in EQ watch due to conjunctions

We'll get a clump of it for sure, these are weird and it depends upon polarity for energy assimilation

Thank you, that makes sense

You are right, this is connected, unless T-bar/jesus tells us it isn't

Yes,that looks like that Filament has also been disturbed by this ejection - That Southern most Filament is/has been a monster!

Got it, thank you very much

We're not in line if that monster on the pole were to lift off are we?

Sorry,T usually has excellent info. Sometimes disagreement brings about a better understanding!

Check out magnetosphere at 05:00 ish on the 5th?

[link to iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080]

Whcih event is this?

[link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov]

GOES SXI [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Stereo Ahead [link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov] showing more of it heading South.

A purely CME X-Ray event [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] (no sudden spike)

From this [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] it looks like it could have taken quite a bit with the ejection as the area of concern is quite tightly Magnetically bunched.

That looks like it started at the end of the 3rd.

It's not this one.

Yes,there does appear to be an instant correlation on there Isis,thank you - That is about the time of the event so unless there was a Flare that was'nt picked up by the GOES X-Ray,I'm stumped.

It looks like a possible Flare disturbed us briefly at around exactly the same time.

That would depend on which way it tore off Isis - If it were to be pulled up and outward it could become Ge-effective but as it is it should go South - it all depends on the location of the trigger event.

on the movie...it kinda looks like something started on the other side of the CH and worked around.

SC

Thank you

You're Welcome and

Got it!!!

That is one SEXY visual splinter!! I "felt" like it was connected to the CH as soon as I saw SC's first pic. That is one massive massive void.

That's just how we roll here :)

Stereo Ahead Video up to now [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] and [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

So it's not the largest of CMEs' we've seen - But it's still fairly 'Straight on'.

Thank you for posting the Coronal Video Splinter - there is actually a fair bit going on in there.

also looks like one of those cavities is forming at around the three o'clock spot on western limb, all the way at the end. I've watched that 10 times already.

I have another cookin on helioviewer...maybe it'll show more....

Those never load for me :(

We can better see the beginning of this event on here [link to sdodata.oma.be] should look even better in a few updates : )

Thanks again Splinter!

right click...then choose 'save link as'(firefox) and save it to your desktop...then go double click them. They load horribly inside a browser for me too.

Thank YOU, my friend, for catching this in the first place!!

footpoint! :)

People want to think of this as as Earth's "footprint" (because of the relative size 1 /1,ooo,ooo,ooo the size of the Sun), but this line of thinking is incorrect.
The connection point to the Corona is a "footpoint"

I held back from correcting anyone using inappropriate terminology, as I never wanted to come off as arrogant, but now the internet is becomming corrupted with " Earths Footprint" as opposed to the the footpoint location.
I litterally taught the class in this forum over magnetic reconnection a couple of yrs ago. I believe you can find the information here on this thread, although you will have read it from the beginning; so
try one of the pages within the first couple of months if interested,.

Its alright though..the whole internet is now convoluted with "footprint"and it was my responsibility to correct people a couple of yrs ago to prevent the problem.
The "Point" of connection to the
Solar surface by magnetic field lines from the Earth allow charged particles to flow at speeds nearing the "speed of light" when an eruption of charged particles from the solar surface is directly proportional to a magnetic connection!

SOO!

Point of connnection..



Using our three-dimensional MHD code we have studied the dynamic evolution of a non-symmetric magnetotail configuration, initiated by the sudden occurrence of (anomalous) resistivity. The initial configuration included variations in all three space dimensions, consistent with average tail observations. In addition, it was skewed due to the presence of a net cross-tail magnetic field component ByN with a magnitude as typically observed, so that it lacked commonly assumed mirror symmetries around the midnight meridian and the equatorial planes. The field evolution was found to be very similar to that of a symmetric configuration studied earlier (e.g., Birn and Hones, 1981), indicating plasmoid formation and ejection. The most noticeable new feature in the evolution of the individual field components is a reduction of By on the reconnected dipole-like field lines earthward from the reconnection region. The topological structure of the magnetic field, however, defined by the field line connections, shows remarkable differences from the symmetric case, consistent with conclusions by Hughes and Sibeck (1987) and Birn et al. (1989). The plasmoid, which is a magnetically separate entity in the symmetric case, becomes “open”, connected initially with the Earth, but getting gradually connected with the interplanetary field, as reconnection of lobe field lines proceeds from the midnight region to the flanks of the tail. The separation of the plasmoid from the Earth is thus found to take a finite amount of time. When the plasmoid begins to separate from the Earth, a filamentary structure of field connections develops, not present in the spatial variation of the fields; this confirms predictions by Birn et al. (1989). A localization of the electric field parallel to the magnetic field is found consistent with conclusions on general magnetic reconnection (Schindler et al., 1988a,b; Hesse and Schindler, 1988). The effect of E∥, integrated along field lines, is found to be maximal on field lines near the plasma sheet/lobe interface. The “footprints” of these regions at the near-Earth boundary show a clottiness, reflecting the filamentary structure of the field connections, but not present in the spatial structure of the field itself.

Well if I did'nt one of us would have : )

The 48hr UV looks pretty neat so far also [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] though all are still not showing full detachment of the whatever it is : )

Thank you for that : )
