I caught this on SpaceWeather.com yesterday. 2013 QR1 Aug 25 was first spotted in orbit on 8/16/2013. I don't see how we are supposed to have any confidence in the so-called "experts" when they can't forecast an asteroid of this size from more than 10 days of it's closest orbit. wtf

Recent & Upcoming Earth-asteroid encounters:
Asteroid Date(UT) Miss Distance Size
1999 CF9 Aug 23 24.7 LD 1.1 km
2013 QR1 Aug 25 8.2 LD 240 m

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
Can someone more knowledgeable tell me what the "Dark" part of the Eve 3-day chart means? [link to lasp.colorado.edu]
It is showing a spike today and states "Warning: Dark 43.1"
Thanks in advance!
 Quoting: muse_1111


This has come up before but I forgot the answer, muse1111. A little pain-staking research has given me a clearer idea, although a plain old explanation is hard to find. I'm not a huge techie, so excuse me if this in error.

The Dark Count is a sensor-calibration measurement of current (ie,voltage) and resulting thermal properties. The EVE instrument measures solar irradiance in multiple wavelengths in fine detail and has many filters and such. The dark count must be compensated for so as not to degrade the data being recorded. Here is one definition I found from Apogee Imaging which makes CCD imagers for some NASA projects-

Dark Count

Next to the quantum efficiency, resolution (number of bits) and noise figure, this is perhaps the most important CCD specification. Dark count refers to that property of all CCD sensors to generate charge in each pixel on its own with time and depending on the temperature. The lower the temperature of the sensor, the lower the dark count.
Dark count is usually expressed in electrons per unit of time at a given temperature. It can also be expressed as a current per sensor area at a given temperature.
The sole reason that CCDs are cooled is to reduce the dark count effect. For example, a Kodak KAF-0402e and KAF-1602e sensor is specified to have a dark count of 50 electrons per second at 25° C. Taking a one-minute exposure at this temperature would generate 3000 electrons of thermally induced charge!

Although the dark count can be subtracted, the dark noise cannot. The dark noise is approximately the square root of the dark count. In this example, the dark noise is about 55 electrons. This could easily degrade any low-light image you attempted to capture over this period of time.

Other links of interest I found along the way....All About EVE, haha.

Thank you! You are always a wealth of knowlege. I looked for a layman's definition and could not find one, either.
 Quoting: muse_1111

Hugh - check out the "Dark" on the Eve charts. There has been a rhythm to the spikes the last couple of days. Data patterns always intrigue me, especially when they are this evident.

Looking at the C2 movie the sundiver is still a small distance away when this ejects, we may see some more action soon. Maybe our comet has a nice charge to it and is pulling energy early!

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity was low with only three small C-class flares observed in
the past 24 hours. Region 1817 (S19W88, Cso/beta) produced a C2/Sf flare
at 19/0920 UTC, while Region 1818 (S04W61, Hkx/alpha) produced a C1/Sf
flare at 19/1135 UTC. Region 1825(N17W27,Dai/beta-gamma) grew
significantly, developed beta-gamma magnetic characteristics, and
produced a C1 flare at 19/2203 UTC. A full halo coronal mass ejection
(CME) was observed in Lasco C2 imagery at 19/2324 UTC. Detailed analysis
will be performed as data becomes available to determine the Earthward
component and potential impacts at Earth.

Hey stargazers, get ready for a blue moon tomorrow night — though it’s likely not the kind you’re thinking of.
First: No, the moon will not actually be blue. Second: This is not the second full moon in the month of August, the definition most people probably think of.

Instead, when Tuesday’s full moon rises to its peak at 9:45 p.m. eastern time, it’ll be a “seasonal blue moon” — the third of four full moons in a season. A seasonal blue moon hasn’t happened in nearly three years, EarthSky reports
