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

I just learned how to post a pic on the doggie thread, thought I'd add it here too. This is Lily, she is an Afghan rescue from a pet store owner/hoader. She is little, probably a runt or may have been malnourished. I got her through a rescue group 1 1/2 years ago and she is a total sweetie pie. OK, off to catch up now, I slept 16 hours today.

This is a very low flux of solar energy. Its rare to see it below B2 during stages of SM(solar max).We are precariously low

Mags dropping again,so we have very little protection with very little incoming energy. This may sound OK, but this will cause issues with our geomagnetic currents, as magma and our mantle will fluctuate alot under these conditions. I'd look for some decent quakes in the next day or two.awake and aware , much love

Thought I'd bring this over. Cesium was pointing out the low flux earlier and it got my attention

Awesome firing of some kind of Filament like Surge from 1625 here [link to halpha.nso.edu] !

Wow.

Also,check out how Square the Dice regions 1623/25 look on the GONG farside imager [link to gong2.nso.edu] its' hip,apparently.

Double Edit:Remember the massive anomaly on C2 I showed the other Day(the massive Light streak)?

Well it was not a fleeting appearance for One Frame,it appears it was over a few captures,you can see it fly by on here [link to stereo.ssl.berkeley.edu] on the Morning of the 27th of November.

NiNz also had found it on C3,I'd like to see the individual images of it's passing instead of the single one shown on the Updates,at least it is visible flying past on the movie [link to stereo.ssl.berkeley.edu] .

Triple Edit:The Comet I spotted earlier in the Week whilst reviewing the Cactus CME Diagnostics is visible also on the above movie.

Quadruple Edit:Here is that anomaly on the Cactus CME Diagnostics site in this movie,pause at 07:48:07 [link to www.sidc.oma.be] .

New GOES R-Series satellites to launch in 2015-


At all times, NOAA operates two Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) from a fixed position, 22,300 miles above the Earth. Additionally, NOAA keeps one GOES in orbital storage mode, ready to step in if one of the active satellites experiences trouble.

NOAA's geostationary satellites constantly monitor all weather conditions, from tornadoes, floods and snowstorms, to wildfires and developing tropical storms. Instruments on GOES also monitor solar activity.

GOES-R will also carry a new Geostationary Lightning Mapper that will provide for the first time a continuous surveillance of total lightning activity throughout the Americas and adjacent oceans.

Although we watch the GOES X-Ray flux plots here daily, I've never seen the actual sensing device. Here's the new GOES-R solar sensor array:

Sorry,had to edit the H alpha link as it wasn't showing on the one I had posted - The Surge can now be seen on the above Link.

I am doing some reading and viewing some YT at the moment,I'll be back for Solar Juice in a bit.x.

What's going on with that huge sunspot. Has it rotated toward the earth yet. Just seems awful quiet of late.

awwwww she looks like such a sweet doggie
i want to give her hugs! hahaha

Cool, these walls are terra cotta, it took me a while to get used to it, it came out darker than the chip (always remember, paint comes out darker than the sample, carpet comes out lighter than the sample.

Terracotta [link to www.tile-style.co.uk] lol

Etruscan Red [link to www.thecolorswatch.com] : )

How the light hits em has such an effect! Little activity goin on here too (a real little)

Very interesting about the lightening monitor, might they also be wanting to track plasma discharge events? I have a feeling we may be in for them again (history tends to repeat itself).
