The tardy stream is still en route and may arrive later today, bringing with it a 25% chance of polar geomagnetic storms. Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras after nightfall.

Dont warn the doomtards yet Sunspot could keep flaring no? Howdy, friend, it's still a pathetically small sunspot but even C-flares are becoming increasingly rare. Sol is diving toward a deep minimum. I just enjoy it when solar activity makes NOAA look like the idiots that they are, LOL.

Simple27 User ID: 72382901 United States 02/10/2017 01:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LUNAR ECLIPSE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT: The full Moon will lose some of its usual luster on Friday night, Feb. 10th, as an eerie shadow creeps across the lunar disk. It's a penumbral lunar eclipse, visible from parts of every continent except Australia. Graphic artist Larry Koehn created this animation of the event: [link to vimeo.com (secure)] A penumbral eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the pale outskirts of Earth's shadow. It is much less dramatic than a total lunar eclipse. In fact, when observers are not alerted beforehand, they sometimes do not realize an eclipse is underway. Nevertheless, the shadow of Earth can be plainly visible to the naked eye. The best time to look is Friday night around 07:44 p.m. Eastern Time (00:44 UT Saturday). That's the time of maximum coverage when Earth's shadow creates a clear gradient of light and shadow across the lunar disk. Check out this global visibility map to see if you are in the eclipse zone: [link to spaceweather.com] According to folklore, a full Moon in February is called the "Snow Moon." For northerners, it often feels like the brightest Moon of the year as moonlight glistens off the white landscape. For a while on Friday night, the Snow Moon won't seem quite so bright.

deplorable abeliever Members User ID: 72994747 United States 02/12/2017 06:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sunbeams—what a drag. That’s the conclusion of physicists trying to solve a longstanding mystery: why the sun’s surface rotates more slowly than its inner core. The team argues that energy radiating outward from the sun pushes back slightly as it is expelled, providing just enough resistance to put on the brakes. The hypothesis is supported by a new observation: that the thin “skin” of the sun rotates more slowly than layers just beneath. Quoting: Helios Maximus “I really can’t believe nobody has thought of this,” says Hugh Hudson, a solar physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the research. “This is a straightforward, simple mechanism nobody noticed before, and it seems to explain a phenomenon no one was able to explain.” [link to www.sciencemag.org] Hugh, is this you?

Simple27 User ID: 72382901 United States 02/14/2017 02:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jaw-Dropping Footage of the Sun! Solar Cycle's Ups and Downs Confirmed In Sat Imagery The sun’s activity rises and falls in a pattern that lasts about 11 years on average. This is called the solar cycle. The Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, has now captured nearly seven years worth of ultra-high resolution solar footage. This time lapse shows that full run from two of SDO's instruments. The large orange sun is visible light captured by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, or HMI. The smaller golden sun is extreme ultraviolet light from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, or AIA, and reveals some of the sun's atmosphere, the corona. Both appear at one frame every 12 hours. SDO's nearly unbroken run is now long enough to watch the rise and fall of the current solar cycle. The graph of solar activity shows the sunspot number, a measurement based on the number of individual spots and the number of sunspot groups. In this case, the line represents a smoothed 26-day average to more clearly show the overall trend. On Feb. 11, 2010, NASA launched the Solar Dynamics Observatory, also known as SDO. SDO keeps a constant eye on the sun, helping us track everything from sunspots to solar flares to other types of space weather that can have an impact on Earth. For instance, solar activity is behind the aurora, one of Earth’s most dazzling natural events. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/SDO [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
