SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily) | |
Helios Maximus User ID: 70735592 United States 08/09/2016 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OOPS, NOT the C8 flare. I hadn't noticed that SDO stopped updating AGAIN. Still, it's a pretty pic of limb prominence at 21;00 UTC yesterday. Thanks for the update, Simple 27!

"It's huge," says astronomer Jack Newton, who photographed the prominence from his private observatory in Osoyoos, British Columbia: [link to spaceweathergallery.com] Quoting: Simple27 Alan Friedman saw the same structure from Buffalo, New York: photo. [link to spaceweathergallery.com] "It is at least as long as the distance from Earth to the Moon," he says. This is a type of prominence commonly called a "hedgerow prominence." Hot glowing plasma inside the structure is held aloft by unstable solar magnetic fields. [link to spaceweather.com] Superb image!

The government wants to bake us with manufactured global warming and deprive us of our natural rights to view the heavens. I'm disgusted but I'm following the radar echoes of meteors anyway. Hopefully a huge storm will clear us out by tomorrow night. I hope you all are having better luck with conditions.
