SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

I'm more of classical stargazer astronomy guy so I plead ignorance -when it comes to these geomagnetic interactions I'm still kinda lost. I've need to take NIN's crash course on the magnetoshpere lol. Can anyone tell me what this Boulder magnetometer chart means? Seems the H factor is getting elevated now.

We generally see these prior to the CME. It will be arriving soon. It looks like this may be a good one!

The magnetometers measure deviations in the Earth's magnetic field. There are many of them set up at different locations from Alaska - Denver- to the Antarctic. When the CME arrives you will get a better idea of how these graphs chart.

Solarham is reporting new active region #1299 in Southern hemisphere-so far unconfirmed. [link to www.solarham.com]

Another C flare 2.4-that's more than a dozen C-flares today.

For all its well-deserved criticism, NASA still does a lot of thing right.

That is not a glitch. That is how such a massive spike is interpreted by the software. Look at the global D saturation.

Like I mentioned earlier, these are seen prior to the onset of the CME. We have seen the same just prior to other CMEs.

It's weird but that "warped bell" shape disappeared from the NICT page and the time stamp of 22:20 is not on their list. However I checked and the link above was still working...hmmmm.

That is strange...hmmm..

by the way..Here is a list of information including information on the magnetometers that NIN put up back on the 10th during the last CME...:)

looks like i showed up in time for the solar show :)


Here is an update on me:
for those that do not know...
I got cut very bad!
it was from a fish tank the we had on the floor that had no water in it, we were going to put a frog in it. i tripped over some toys and fell sideways/backwards and fell with the fish tanks top edge going right into my thigh
the tank shattered when i fell on it and a 7in X 4in piece of glass was inbeded into my thigh. it severed ligaments, tendons and cut and scraped my sciatic nerve. i was bleeding to death when i crawled outside screaming for someone to call 911. no one heard me, so i had to crawl down the stars (cause i live on the 2nd foor)
when i made it to the bottom of the steps, i used a pcv pipe i took out of my tomato plants, and beat on the downstaris neighbors door and had her call 911
i had to get blood and oxygen when i got to the hospital
they did surgery to remove the glass
i have been in the hospital since the 12th

Thank you everyone for all the well wishes, loving thoughts, phone calls and e cards :)
It has all helped me so much during this hard time.
Good news, I was able to leave the Hospital today. So i am now at home with my family. the bad news is the dead nerves have spread and are now over the entire back side of my right thigh as well as the whole backside of my right calf and into my right foot. I can not use my right legs as of right now. I am hoping it heals withing the next few weeks :)

nice to see you Ninz

Glad to hear that you are healing, Nin...




I'm feeling that the weekend may be active... or not...

anyways; just a hunch

Prayer goes a long way, especially an abundance of them!

got that

Greetings and blessings, NINzrez! Sounds like a terrifying ordeal. It's gonna be tough being on 2nd floor for awhile. I hope you have saints around you to help you out. Above all keep a positive outlook. Prayers for your quick healing!

Thanks for the update and we are glad you are here. Please don't strain yourself. Lots of good veggies and rest. Still sending prayers and healing.

Glad to see you back home. You'll get use to not having feelings in those parts. I have. Just more cautious when I bump into things. Have to keep an eye on whether I cut myself, anyway enough of my rambling. Glad your home!

Welcome Back , you have been missed.

Hay NIN; There is an amazing amount of healing energy being sent to you. I am a healer, I know. You must not allow the healing to go too quickly. Your use some of the energy to stabilize you own mind and set goals for you and your family. The creator could heal you completely, in an instant. However he/she chooses not to. so there is something that the creator wants,to happen. I don't think the creator wants you to be in pain there is no karma associated to this. Please just accept that it will take a little time to fully recover. You will fully recover just going to take a few month's. Your gardens are there and quite apt at what they can do. Don't try to rush things. As is your normal attitude. You are an old sole, I think you are now to realise this. You are one of the chosen, to help those that do not see. Blessings Drendwire.

Glad to have you back NIN!!!!!

That is very cute Tom!!

Glad you are back home NiN........

Glad you're back home Ninzrez. Can't keep a good woman down!

We can see how much you're loved.

With all hysteria over Elenin ("almost certain to be a bust") folks have been missing out on C/2009P1(Garradd)...tracking charts w/article. [link to www.skyandtelescope.com]

New active region #1299 confirmed and look what's rising in the East. [link to sidc.oma.be]

Glad to hear you're home
and the tomato plant saved the day

Another CME spotted on Stereo A cor2. Must be from that long duration C flare.

I think this show is finally about to get started.

I like that site....thanks

The electrons are taking a nosedive..now the show will begin.

Is that an electrical bolt at 3:00 position? Or, is it Neptune's pitchfork?

OMG, Nin have you seen this???
