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

Good morning....peace

Tom...love the gorillas. lol

We have a rise in Flux ....

C3.5 and ^

We have an M1

Long duration M flare..bout time ..I was getting bored

I was wondering, is the total duration from "Beg" to "End" ???

..... if so we are at a full hour now :

In case you still can't get on NOAA Nin

09/1GOES 15 X-Ray Events 1-8A
Cur 09/1412 C6.1 Ratio 0.055
_____________________________________________________
Beg
09/1304 C1.0

Max
09/1335 M1.1 Int 3.3e-02 J m-2

End
09/1412 C6.1 Int 3.3e-02 J m-2
_____________________________________________________

68 minutes total ... I can't believe I sat and watched this whole thing. Now I need to clean my house !!

If someone could let me know if it was #1339, and if there will be an earth directed CME it would be very much appreciated.

I simply cannot interpret the data. Thank you

It was 1342....still somewhat earth facing...not sure I`m the best to answer your question on the duration..But normally long duration flares have some CME with them

Sunspot Update and some INFO Flare and new CME:


First some Info Sidc:


:m1.1flarenov9:

M1.1 flare peaking at 13:35 UT was observed in the Catania sunspot group 34 (NOAA AR 1342) today. It was accompanied by a type II radio burst observed by Humain. PROBA2/SWAP detected associated filament eruption and coronal dimmings indicating the eruption of a CME. No SOHO/LASCO data is available at the moment of writing to confirm if the resulting CME was a halo. However, SECCHI/COR2 coronagraphs onboard STEREO spacecraft detected a bright and fast (more than 1000 km/s) CME that may be directed at the Earth. A geomagnetic storm may result in 2-3 days if the CME will eventually arrive at the Earth.

Here we have a good sight at the CME:

Sunspots:


Region 1339 decayed in size from 1240 to 940 millionths and also is now a Beta-Gamma type group

Region 1338 also decayed and that group lost its Gamma section and is only a Beta type group

Three C class solar flares took place yesterday, two from region 1339 and the other from region 1141, this is the first C class flare from this region

Today so far a C 1.9(1335) and the lastest M1.1 (1343)

Actually i record a movie from the erruption upload later

Thank you both for the info.

If this is an example of a halo CME :

It's pretty impressive ....

Well I've seen the "trailer" of today's flare ... can't wait to see the "movie"

I just checked out the slideshow for today's CME and there is a wishbone thing of fire that shoots out from the sun. Is the the flare or part of the CME or something else?

I hope this is the monster CME we all were waiting for, that will cause a new Carrington event...

no you don't...

or if you really do, you will wish it hadn't later

a bit later^^

the watchers reports:


M-class solar flare, possibly Earth-directed CME

M-class solar flare reaching M1.1 took place at 13:35 UTC Wednesday morning around Sunspot 1342 which is located in the northeast quadrant. It now looks like a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) resulted and a portion of it may be Earth Directed...

2 CME's 11/9/11
Looks like they might be earth directed

Much love!

interesting. thanks IWTB

Beeeutiful IWTB !!!!

So much better than a Solar XRay Flux Chart !!!!

I really love your pictures, makes it easier to understand.
Thanks

Ok Sol has been tuning up long enough.... Time to clear those pipes and hit us with his best shot!

I want to thank everyone on this thread that contributes. I have tried to understand this stuff, and just cant read the charts like you guys do.

I just want you to know I am personally grateful that you share the knowledge with the rest of us.

There is the CME...

It sure looks like it.
THanks. It looks earth directed. No?? Nin?? Tom?? Wow I've been very busy last two days but now is calm.

Looks like we get a glancing blow or is this from earlier??
