Watching that new guy in the middle, SO noticed it too. Its developing pretty fast!

I did see the flare here after Psy gave me the link .... I didn't mention it thinking you'd all think I was in need of medication, as I checked it against GOES, and saw nothing !!!

Something is just not right here, and it really doesn't make much sense. The sheeple are in denial, even when you make them aware of a huge incoming CME, they laugh it (you) off. Why not just put it out there ??? Most people live in a world of denial what's the harm in telling the truth, or at the very least allowing us the data ???

TS can you clarify what you are referring to when you say it's not making any sense?

We apparently have an incoming cme from a nasa video. It doesn't show up anywhere on any of the charts

Gotcha, thanks.

Ditto.

This is going to be a great year,...

Yes indeed :)

The deterioration of earth facing sunspots, only to have them go berserker on the far side, regardless of their classification. It makes no sense.

The idea that there were some electrical, magnetic pull, or other anomaly, even the galactic center itself was creating this scenario did not appeal to my sense of logic, until it seems as if there is no other reasoning behind it.

I assumed that last fall we would begin to see greater solar activity, as we had the fall of 2011, you know seasonal planetary configuration with the sun etc .... and there was none.

We are running out of excuses as to why earth facing sunspots die until they rotate over the western limb.

Of course it does not help that half of the data we use to see what is happening back there is suddenly unavailable ...

Very frustrating. I don't participate in a lot of theory, and depend on facts, but I listen to all of them for future use, and at times even in corroboration to the evidence/facts, but without the data .... well maybe I'll feel better tomorrow

That too lol.

Too many discrepancies, especially with GOES, and I hate to say it, markedly starting just before 12/21/12.

Here is a site we haven't seen in a while. Wow!!!

When there is no sunspot activity on the earth-facing side that means increased cosmic rays from the sun reaching the Earth and this also contributes to a weakened magnetosphere, yes? (I'm not certain of what I have just said so I'm posing it as a question, lol)

What are the implications for Earth if there is a continued period of low sunspot activity on the Earth facing side?

There are some that believe that gamma bursts are effecting the Earth in a multitude of ways, I don't know that I have ever heard or read that they would have an effect on earth facing sunspots.

What we do know for certain however, is that the Solar Maximum's geo effectiveness on Earth is what strengthens our magnetosphere, and right now we are sorely in need of a steady increase of Solar activity. There is nothing saying we could withstand a significant CME or resulting geo magnetic storm as our magnetosphere is currently compromised. So we hope for an uptick in solar activity.

As for what is preventing sunspots from activity when earth facing, but allow activity on the far side, is the current quandary, at least mine.

GOES is flat lined ... it may be being fudged by NASA as we have flares that are not registering on the Xray chart, but earth directed CME's have be reported. If GOES was working properly, we would have already seen this flare and resulting CME coming, instead of having to search for it hidden on google.

Just too many unanswered questions and discrepancies to be able to interpret what is happening.

Nicely said!

Wow is right , nice to see these groupings coming in!

What will it mean for Earth ???

Almost a C-flare! B9.4 from 1640-

STEREO Images are normal again. The EUVI Behind movie shows a couple of far-side eruptions-

SDO images are still intermittent and not current. I found the magnetic field map interesting. Look at all of the open field lines in the north polar region and almost none in the south.

[link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

Did they flip the switch back on at 20:00 or what ???? lol

Woohoo-our biggest flare since Christmas.

[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Be honest Hugh, you don't find this the least bit fishy ???

Fishy? No. A little disappointing, yes. I was hoping for a Solar Max to at least come close to the last two zingers. We could have truly witnessed some amazing stuff with SDO, SOHO, STEREO all working together with the internets and GLP. We may not have this opportunity 10 years from now. I had dream about a rogue x-flare, so keep hope alive.

Fair enough.

i had posted many links to GCR and aging charts going back to the 60's they start mid way down on this page

Were you intimating that Gamma bursts are inhibiting sunspot activity earth side ??

GCR are not good for humans and or this planet and it balance in the atmospheres.

I'm sure they are not good for us !!!

You're dreams may not be that far off Hugh .... it's a waiting game.

Thx.

Note added in 2001 August: It is thought that man-made chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), such as Freon, are the major destroyer of the ozone layer. The prevailing theory is that ultraviolet light breaks down CFCs, releasing active chlorine, which destroys ozone molecules. However, a recent study ( [link to focus.aps.org] suggests that cosmic rays may also break down CFCs. If this is correct, cosmic rays do play a part in creating ozone holes, but only because there are man-made CFC molecules for them to break down.
