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

keep an eye today on 1330
[link to www.solen.info]
she is now aimed right at us and is looking a bit volatile
here is the Xray flux

i have been watching a lot of energy flow through the area just to the west (right side) of 1330
if the energy releases, that area could produce a CME

Thread: BREAKING!!! 6.9 near the coast of Peru

Was there something in particular you were looking at. I noticed there was no response to the vid

Probably waiting for the ring of fire to complete itself.....

Lore has it, when all the volcano's around the Ring of Fire (Pacific Rim) are going at once, the end would be neigh......

I believe it will be the beginning, not the end...

Okayyyyy, I am not liking the sound of that..LOL
Especially with all the activity in the past couple days.

Just as a reminder, 8 years ago we had the most powerful X-flare on record- quite a beast...

i have heard that as well Gabe and agree with you
at the 17:57 mark on the webcam time, you start to see magma bubbeling at the top of the volcano
the poster of the video posts new updated cam images every 1-5 hrs
here is the most recent

watch the webcam time on the images
at 5:23 it blew!

Here's the Spaceweather.com page from 2003's X17 flare. Yikes! The proton density read 48.7/cu.cm !

Holy Mackerel..X17? wow

JUPITER AT OPPOSITION:
Tonight Jupiter is at opposition, opposite the sun as seen from Earth. This means the giant planet will be up all night, rising in the east at sunset and soaring overhead at midnight. Jupiter at opposition shines ~36 times brighter than a 1st magnitude star, so it's easy to find. Get out your telescope for an unusually good view of the planet's

So glad to hear you back, Ninz.

Im getting a "sun" headache. Usually only happens with decent sized flares, M+. The headache doesnt go away until whatever has to let loose from the sun, actually happens.
Anyone else?

I've been avoiding the sun since August. I had enough. Even a small exposure to it gave me headaches, and nausea. It's been cloudy here lately, and giving me some peace.

could be this:

HAARP has been unusually quiet for a few hours

Looking at the
nict.go.jp
There has been a density spike. What does this indicate?

we got something here

solar wind speed just spiked
[link to www2.nict.go.jp]

it went from:

Solar wind
speed: 259.2 km/sec
density: 0.2 protons/cm3

to:
Solar wind
speed: 842.5 km/sec
density: 0.0 protons/cm3

and look at all the drops and spikes in solar wind speed here

Hi NiN, I hope everything is oke with you or going to be!
I'm very off-t but I can't get that frogg out off my head

Well, than I have to get one myself

Take care NiN

Xray flux now looks like heartbeat.

well careful with the dog...... my brother just busted up his leg picking up dog poo from his backyard lol

Two C-flares-1.0 and 3.0-looks like sunspot 1324 on western limb.

Solar Wind less than 300 Km/s.. [link to www2.nict.go.jp]

Seems very quite out there!?

Hmmmm?

The Sun's on Strike.

Yes, Cesium, very slow solar wind-though it should pick up some later today from the coronal hole and CMEs from the 26th. I think the anomalous spikes shown in the ACE data is just erroneous data. So I did some searching and found some disheartening information about ACE/NOAA data troubles.

"Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) was only built to withstand the effects from 'average solar flare', not a 'significant solar flare'. NASA knows ACE 13-year-old sensors will 'cease to function before a significant solar flare even passes ACE in space'."...and.."ACE has exceeded its NASA calculated life expectance."(sic) and further...
...."1-day to 4-day warnings of impending space weather storms use Coronal Mass Ejaection (CME) imagery received now from NASA/ESA SOHO and NASA STEREO satellites. Launched in 1995, 1997, and 2006, all of these satellites have exceeded their 2-year design life. Without immediate action, NOAA will lose two (2) of ots most critical space weather observation data sources when NASA ACE and the NASA/ESA SOHO satellites fail." As if we didn't have enough doom to worry about, solar max may hit us blind-sided.
A very interesting article w/ nice graphics here:
