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

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.

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.

I'm just going top take my little Fella' Major Thom for his Morning Walkies - My bestest Friend he is!

He got attacked the other Day by some thick as Pig Shite Meat-heads dumb fat Dog - Pissed me right off - Poor Major Thom..all he wants to do is run and have fun..I can't stand Meatheads and their Dogs that they appear to use to make up for their lack of Penis or Manhood in general.

Grrr!

See you in a little bit Sol Brothers and Sisters : )

this thread is BS

this thread is BS

Whatever gave you that opinion?

Gooooood morning fellow BSers !!!

Well looking at the SDO angstrom 304 this morning from overnight, I see a huge build up of energy originating around 1584, that is feeding the filament hanging off the south pole at this time. It also seems as though there is some ejecta from that area.

The filament is definitely building out further and further from the surface, liftoff maybe imminent, and IMHO, would definitely be geoeffective here ....

I have to be honest, the theories you guys are presenting are way over my head, or maybe just too "theoretical" so I cannot participate any further in that discussion, but please give us all a heads up if necessary



Welcome back Shada !!!!

Is Ninzrez ok not on for 5 days??

20 min after i adjust a pic from ISWA to 640 x 420 for you guys I remember..umm

Upload to where?

hah

gota love it!

get it from here if you want.

Thanks for all of the fun.

I have to look in at least a month.

Never want to offend anyone..

Karma hugs all around!

Now get back to work!

She has been here, just doesn't always sign in

Thread: Red Hot Solar Ballet))))Weather Channel gone strange

enjoy

Those never load for me :(
