SOLAR WATCH * 255 M & 18 X FLARES starting 3-7-2011 (Updated Daily)

FYI. As of today Nin says she's and is having a problem with her internet and she will be back as soon as she can

Thank you TS!

That is good news that she is ok.

Much Love,

Thank you 66.

And Good night all.

The best Gnewz on Glp for a while in my opinion!

Really been worried,really : )

Hello and soon to be Guten nacht our Tink Tink

SC ~

Please go get some sleep.

We will need you and you must be in tip top shape.

Sleep well my dear friend. Big hugs to you!!



Much Love to you SC,

It appears that Filament has set off a cascade within 1613,1614,1618 and 1619 [link to sdodata.oma.be] you can notice a drastic change in their relative Temps. - Also 1613 looks ready to expel pretty soon [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] as does the area and Filament around 1614.

A nice climb in X-Rays [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] something is gonna' have to give!

We've got a filament above 1618 that looks to have lifted.

I may be wrong about the CME, it's hard to say as SOHO stopped updating at just the wrong time (as usual). There was obviously a CME from the M-flare as noted by CACTus-

This info will be updated later when we're allowed to see all the pertinent data. Here's the Solarsoft video of the M-flare (now corrected after they embarrassingly posted a vid of 1618 doing nothing much):

Close-up M-flare w/ejecta movie:

I still believe there was a CME associated with the large channel eruption. The jury is still out until SOHO updates and we see the size and shape of the halo.

A front-side CME appears to be visible from STEREO Behind:

I count 4 definite CME's [link to sdodata.oma.be] .



Hello by the way all

Edit:**** it,doesn't matter.

A cacophony of CME's - One on the Top-Left that me and Isis were discussing earlier that had already been going for around 7 Hours without separating from the Corona fully is still slowly flying away and the 1/2 earlier CME's that look like Type III/IV Halos and will be Geo-effective [link to sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov] .

sunspots at 60 degress west longitude is the place to watch, according to NASA

proton storm can arrive in 30 minutes if originating from 60deg west long


A New Kind of Solar Storm (well, 2005)

The CME I mentioned that Isis and I were discussing that was/is super slow can be seen here [link to www.sidc.oma.be] at 11 on the Dial and beginning at 11:00(though it began even earlier and took forever to leave)here it is again,still not really moving [link to www.sidc.oma.be] and still [link to www.sidc.oma.be] and [link to www.sidc.oma.be] and slowly begins to 'let go' [link to www.sidc.oma.be] Basically,a very slow,long,strange event.

Trivia question: If the Mayans were so smart how come their civilization collapsed and they starved to death?

Maybe another Earth-directed CME? STEREO A leaves us hanging with this teeny-weeny image:

[link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

I see a Type IV halo (>270 degrees) here but CACTus calls it a Type II:

Side issue but is'nt the Calender everyone thinks Mayan is actually the Aztec Calendar!?

Far side CME [link to halpha.nso.edu] North-East over the limb - also of note is the dispersing Filament,I'm waiting to see if the backside CME helped destabilize that Filament.

We've got a filament above 1618 that looks to have lifted.

I need an halpha tutorial, is it upside down compared to other images we use?

This really is'nt my specialty at all but is this correct -

'Some systems started the count with 1 Imix', followed by 2 Ik', 3 Ak'b'al, etc. up to 13 B'en. The trecena day numbers then start again at 1 while the named-day sequence continues onwards, so the next days in the sequence are 1 Ix, 2 Men, 3 K'ib', 4 Kab'an, 5 Etz'nab', 6 Kawak, and 7 Ajaw. With all twenty named days used, these now began to repeat the cycle while the number sequence continues, so the next day after 7 Ajaw is 8 Imix'. The repetition of these interlocking 13- and 20-day cycles therefore takes 260 days to complete (that is, for every possible combination of number/named day to occur once)' [link to en.wikipedia.org] !?
