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

Red and blue lines represent two different X-ray sensors on the GOES satellite
Red line is radiation from the Sun at wavelengths from 1 to 5 Angstroms (0.1 to 0.5 nanometers).
Blue line is radiation at
wavelengths from 0.5 to 4 Angstroms (0.05 to 0.4 nanometers)

basicly, the blue line will show any changes 1st because it is set to pick up lower readings
the red line is what we use for the actual reading size of the flare

The "experts" on this thread are 666 and now it's obvious.

I believe the reason why the japanese magnetosphere wasn't updated for a couple of days recently, because there is a time frame between a flare and the hit and certain key parts in the "surveillaince" are simulated to hide what's really going on.

Kudos rain-man

They are now saying it will probably dive into the sun

NASA Messenger update from yesterday's conference-Messenger has detected sodium ion plasma in Mercury's magnetosphere. Due to holes and overall weakness of Mercury's magnetosphere, it is believed material is being scoured away from the surface by the intense solar wind.

Thanks. guys. Did anyone ever find Comet Elenin? Isearchedthe Lasco C3 for a few days and couldn't find a trace. If it turned to dust I wonder if we'll see a little meteor shower from the remnants.

When talking about a major event from the sun, we have to talk about 3 seperate events
We have Solar Flares, we have CME's and we have Filament/Prominence.
*A CME (coronal mass ejection) can occure without a Solar Flare
*A Soalr Flare can occure without producing a CME

Flares:
A solar Flare is a eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface and reaches Earth very fast, in around 8 minutes.
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
It reached Earth so fast because the solar Flare is light, and travels at the speed of light.
Because the Flare reaches earth so fast, by the time your posting, or reading about this flare, it has more than likley already reached Earth.
*A Solar Flare is radiated light
*There is no warning time for a Flare.
*This is an almost instant event.

CME:
A CME (coronal mass ejection) is an ejection of material from the solar corona.
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
This is when Plasma material of the Sun is ejected off the sun with a blast.
The force of the blast is what determines the speed of the material (CME), and the speed of the material is what determines how long it takes to get from the sun to the Earth.
Your car has mass. the faster you drive it, the faster you get to your pointed destination.. the slower you drive it, the longer it takes. It is the same exact thing with a CME.

a CME usually takes anywhere from 2 to 3 days to reach Earth, and sometimes even longer.
We have had CME's that were ejected from the sun with such a strong force, that their speed allowed the CME to reach earth in 18hrs from the time the CME left the Sun's surface, to the time the CME reached Earth. This is what happened with the Carrington event.
We have also had CME's that were ejected from the sun with such weak force, that it took the CME 5 days to reach Earth.,
*A CME is plasma martrial ejected from the Sun surface.
*The more material ejected, the stronger the CME
*Look at a CME this way.
A big CME can be compaire to a Semi truck, and a small CME to a Honda car. If directed at an object, we have to look at how big the CME is (is it a Semi truck or a Honda car)how fast it is moving and if it is aimed directly at the object. If it is huge like the Semi, moving super fast, and aimed directly at the object (earth), then the impact will great.

We also have Solar Filaments and Solar prominences that you might hear us talk about on here from time to time
here is some info on what those are:
[link to spaceweather.com]
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
*When a prominance or Filament snaps/lifts off, they behave in the same manor as, and have the same effect as a CME

they had a recent Typhon that hit there that may have had an effect as well

Nice. But the question was what causes the destruction of electronics & power grid and i assume the CMEs, which need some time to arrive, because you are trying to avoid this question.

Thank you for all that information!

One more question though.... Is it a solar flare that presents the risk for an EMP, or one of the other two?

Agreed typhoon was probably the reason. Remember how long it was off with the eq tusnami. I was actually suprised they got it back so soon.

Trying to avoid the question?
That was not your question.
i bolded your question above, and i did indeed answer it
not with a 1 liner either
to find out the damage that flares and CMEs do the the Grids, there is a mass of reading you can do on that subject
google works best

I believe a X Flare CME is already en route and due to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow with the magnetosphere being more or less down at the same time.

... and this entire thread is disinfo shilling.

the last X flare we had was very early on the 24th
X1.9 Flare on 9/24/2011 @ 09:40 UTC - sunspot 1302
that was 6 days ago
any and all effects of that X flare have already come and gone

The one where you claim, that it was a C.

and you are here. hmmm.

Nin----are you thinking what I`m thinking. he he he BOOT....send`m packing

If there is a time frame, between the flare and the destructive effects of it - and in all likelihood is given your behaviour - then it makes perfect sense to run simulations and disinfo, otherwise it would be possible to prepare for it.

SUNDIVING COMET :
This morning a quartet of amateur comet hunters (M. Kusiak, S. Liwo, B. Zhou and Z. Xu) independently noticed a comet in SOHO coronagraph images. The icy visitor from the icy solar system is diving toward the sun--probably a one-way trip. Kusiak expects the doomed comet to brighten to first magnitude between now and the early hours of Oct. 1st

you can see this comet on the movie for the "LASCO C3" for today
[link to sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov]

just click "LASCO C3", then click "Search" to the right

i know right :/
what is up today?
geezzzz

then as we say in Texas.... "Carry your ass....."

Thank you NIN, greenie +K for you.....now I know....
you're truly one in a million.........

Mercury and Venus will get pummeled!!

Imagine if that would have faced us...

we're on a rise [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

X-ray flux rising..we have a flare.

here we go! come on, X15

GLP effect will do the rest...

People do that here too!

It just came back on. It was out for 20 hours!
