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

Solar Weather forecast for Oct. 12, 2011.

Surprisingly, the most active region on the solar disk is STILL un-numbered. Nine of the twelve flares today came from this NE equatorial region (N09E50 approximately).

Thanks for sharing. That is very interesting to say the least!

That could very well be a very very bad thing. If the entire surface of the sun flared at once and knocked the satellite offline for 7 hours....yipes. I hope someone who has a long history of watching the sun can explain this one. That looked like a mega flare to me.

uhh, WTF?

I have never seen so little activitty.

COPYCAT HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Where was the GLP observatory during this supposed huge solar flare?

Man that would have been a scooop if video had been captured and then we would know for sure whether or not Nasty is keeping info from us.

Nothing to worry about...software or other type of glitch. This has been seen many times before. Although I can't tell you exactly what the cause is; I've found some info on various anomalies in the SOHO imaging. Before jumping to wild conclusions (ie:Nibiru, alien space fleets, brown dwarves, explosions of doom) I wish folks would use a little common sense and do a little Google research before posting alarming YouTube vids. No huge flares or CME's yesterday-Sol was well-behaved and extremely quiet. Though that may change soon.

The new hyper-active region has finally been dubbed AR11319. The other group of emerging spots near mid-disk also has a number now:AR11318.

Holy cow.. I stop paying attention to the sun and then look back now. There's a lot of sun spot groups on the go now.

I learned something new today. While researching SOHO imaging glitches, I found this amazing set of images from 1979. A Naval Research Laboratory instrument aboard the SOLWIND satellite captured a sun-diving comet. This was the first celestial body ever seen crashing into the sun. It was also the first comet discovered by an orbiting satellite (SOHO has found over 2000). What I find amazing is the CME before impact and another CME after impact. Yet to this day NASA and other experts always claim this is a coincidence. If something similar happens over and over again it CAN'T be a coincidence!

Furthermore, it seems the SOLWIND came to an untimely end when the USAF in 1985 decided to use it for target practice!!! Yes, a still-useful, orbiting magnetospheric science observatory was shot down in a test of the ASAT anti-satellite weapons system. Multiply this stupidity and waste by ,oh, a trillion or two; and you'll get an inkling of why our country is broke (except for the unquenchable military/corruption budget).

Insert facepalm here.

Spectacular large prominence just west of the north solar pole. Also nice eruptions on the eastern limb. From the Solar Dynamics Observatory AIA304:

A must-see movie of a "solar tornado"-a twisting spiral of filaments. Awesome vid from Anna Malanushenko:

we were already charged enough for this moon to effect

so

if our sun goes off now or the next day or so, it could be tricky

Good morning and Namaste to all.

Good Morning............My hope is peace and safety to all!

That's pretty cool looking. And when I watched it the thing that popped into my mind was a dancing fire fairy.

I noticed the first link above is no longer relevant (they have a short shelf life,lol) The spectacular prominence I was referring to is now featured at Spaceweather.com-if you haven't seen it check out the gif movie here.

I wasn't assuming anything, I was just curious. I follow Mr. Cometwatchs channel because he seems to be a sincere fellow. Thanks for the clarification. It just seemed odd because of the missing 7 hours of data, and you yourself have pointed out about NASA's inconsistancies about the link between comets crashing into the sun and CME's being produced.

Wow!

The long gaps of missing data from SOHO annoys me to no end. I've never heard a good reason for this and it seems to be happening a lot more lately than in the past. I guess it could be anything from aging equipment to incompetence to budget cutbacks. This problem comes up constantly and reflects poorly on NASA/NRL-I wish they would at least issue a public explanation. It obviously feeds into many conspiracy hypotheses and I, too, often question what they're up to. By the way, when SOHO is retarded you can check SDO, Stereo, Lockheed/Solarsoft or other sites to confirm the sun's activity. Here are some links I use (and links at the bottom of page @ Spaceweather.com are useful):

If all these sites go dark for 7 hours, then start panic sex rituals, lol.

Hahaha. Panic sex. Thanks for the links! I need to get a solar filter for my new scope.

Okay

I can't even do any research. My headache is too much and my ears are ringing.

Anyone else

Did something happen with the sun? Prom liftoff??

Pretty Shitty Image..

Wierd It really feels like I have a cme headache?

yes i got sensations strong
