SOLAR WATCH * 251 M & 18 X FLARES starting 3-7-2011 (Updated Daily)

Hey buddy it was a magnetic footprint from the backside of the sun,from the flare(more than likely an X). You are one of my favorite people my friend I'd never backside footprint you!lol

and that backside flare that I suspected was a large M was probably an X as per S0

The South-East looks quite ripe to me [link to halpha.nso.edu] infact,the whole Eastern half is looking quite tasty.

I think a small Filament just done one in the above H alpha,though it is very small(relative).

1608 looks to be promising as do the Triads in the North-East - a lot of Filaments and tuffs of Filament are looking quite unstable,it could make for a interesting Week - Esp. if the Triads collide.

I got that,thank you Shada - Same goes for you,I'd never Backside Footprint you either,lol : )

.

I was thinking the same thing,any energy release at all by those SS groupings could be a double whammy,with filaments releasing also

Wow!

That was a very active Gnewz update huh?

The whole of the Sun looks to have looks to have been rattled by that backside Flare that most definitely will have been higher than recorded on GOES.

Cool.

Looks like ETA late on the 12th

It will hit at the same time as the planetary allignments SO was talking about,may make things all the more interesting.

As noted by S0 the leading Sunspot has reversed Polarity [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] currently Solen has the Two Northern Spots classified as One 1611 [link to www.solen.info] I'd be watching to see if this causes the lower spot to begin migrating toward it - Could be very interesting to watch the dynamics of the triads in the coming Days.

1608 just Flared [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] .

As well as the straight lines has anybody else noticed the rather large vertical Filament along the North-East limb [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] ?

That is quite precariously located.

As will the High Speed Coronal Hole Stream from CH545,it should reach around the same time - it will be interesting to see what effect(if any)this will have on the incoming CME,Esp. if they meet en route.

Hi Shad, how are you? By the way, am I crazy or did we get schoooled a while back that it was footpoint, not footprint? or are we just overriding and sticking with footprint? lol

who haaaa, nice SC, we got a little (barely) C

CH545 is starting to look a bit menacing isn't it. [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] I agree it could get interesting, whether that be a one-two punch or as you posit, an intermingling. :)

Noticed it out the corner of my eye,here it is popping off in H alpha [link to halpha.nso.edu] .

I'm doing good Isis,yeah I'm sticking with the footprint as thats what I was taught,but it may be footpoint. Hopefully people will be nice enough to know what we're talking about and go with it'lol

anyone else think that if the TEC chart could go to 100...we would be having that reading lately?

[link to www.ips.gov.au]

Aye' - Solen have it due for arrival around the 13th so it could be a One-Two punch or possibly a colliding mega-fuck.

Scuse' the French.

[link to solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov]

Heres one of the earlier papers I read on solar energy,dimming coronal footprints, thats why that term has always stuck with me.

Yes,is the short answer.

She be looking ok at present mind 88,I think that read around the 55-60 mark.

Our Electron Flux has dropped right back down again recently after the prolonged period of elevated readings [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] .

Rice and Peas.

Yes sir, good buddy have thought that several times of late

I think Footprint is correct for CH's and for Magnetic Tethering 'Magnetic Footpoint' is the correct terminology,but we all know what one another means so it's inconsequential,really : )

.

ooops...didnt refresh page from last night....
DOH!
Peas

Dentist says 'Say Ahhhhhhh' [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] .

Yeah you're right I believe.

I agree with the SS trio,and I believe we'll see some in teresting configuration changes if they can make a BGD move

Remember that spaceweather posting from a few days ago? What was it called?

"So this is solar maximum?"

Wahey [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] seen on the Magnetosphere Sim. [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] .

Nothing makes sense to me anymore

Thanks for that background. I just didn't remember too much debate about it back when it first came up so I didn't know that both terms were basically being used, thanks, I personally like footprint too.

No worries Shads : )

I have a ponderation,why is it that the Vertical Filament seen on the North-East limb here [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] is'nt visible on the H alpha here [link to halpha.nso.edu] !?

It is definitely there [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] as it is visible in all the SDO images but none of the H alpha - Could it be something other than a Filament perhaps?

I'm a little confused by this.
