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

Hey Ninz, I hope you are healed up!...Finally got the book done...here is a link to the link, hope you all enjoy!

Thread: Wrath of Nibiru, receiving good feedback on the scifi phenom, teaser for Quantum Report inside.

Check out the magnetosphere

its from a coronal hole (ch489)which was in earth facing position on dec 16,17

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled with a chance of active intervals on December 19 due to effects from CH489. Quiet to unsettled is likely on December 20 becoming quiet on December 21-22

A narrow coronal hole located at central meridian is expected to raise geomagnetic conditions to unsettled (K=3) on 19-20/12.

Good Morning all,

will be offline today or will check in maybe this night(german time^^) have a christmas party from work


cya all

good call

Hey, you guys seen this thing heading for Venus?

[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]

I only know it's Venus 'cos I checked Stereo's Planet Finder thing. Is it Lovejoy? Weird!

I believe Venus is in the foreground and comet much further out-it's a depth-of-field illusion from B's pov.

Yes it's C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy), from Stereo B view you can see Venus ..

From Stereo A it's Mercury and Jupiter ..

Great job, Rain-Man! If you go to deluxe Cygnet Streamer it's a little easier to see where all the satellites and inner planets are--unfortunately they don't plot comets or asteroids. Sometimes it's hard to visualize in 3D from the SOHO/STEREO images; theoretically, if all three are giving us data we can triangulate all the particular events. I know you already know this, I'm just putting it out here for the casual reader of this thread. Again, kudos for a nice post!

Two new active regions are coming over the NE limb. There's a medium-size spot near the equator and a larger group of spots just becoming visible on the northeast limb.

Latest Solar Monitor H-alpha image also shows a few scattered filaments.

Active regions 1381 & 1382 have grown significantly and we should see some intensified flaring soon. An X-ray image from Hinode:

More amazing images of Comet Lovejoy! the Solar Optical Telescope aboard the Hinode satellite also imaged Lovejoy-the 6th spacecraft to capture the historic event.

And the movies just get better--this awesome video from STEREO A EUVI shows Lovejoys tail being whipped about by the sun's coronal magnetic fields.

Comments from the Sungrazer website:


I'll hold while you hit play a few times...

Not bad, huh?! So what's going on there then??! Well clearly we see the tail wiggling again but this time it looks like the entire comet is dancing about in and out of the corona! Of course it's not -- that's an optical illusion facilitated by the way the tail is moving around. If you were to plot the comet head positions you would see they follow a perfect smooth curve. That tail does not though! What seems to be happening -- and this is my very preliminary reaction that could be as accurate as my Lovejoy-will-never-survive prediction -- is that the charge-free dust in the comet tail is being rapidly charged as it leave the comet and is basically "clinging" to, or certainly interacting with, magnetic field lines in the corona... somehow. Throw in some Fairy-dust and there's your explanation!

This region seems to possess complex, possibly unstable magnetic fields. It will be directly Earth-facing for a few days. Here's the SDO magnetic field chart:

Femto, yo illiterate ass m'fo! Yo ass needs to go back t'school

So what body is over the sun form stereo B?
[link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

Watch it move from right to left on today's movie.

ANSWER: Mercury
HOW TO FIND OUT:
On the STEREO Beacon Images page, click on the last item under "Resources"--it shows the position of any planets seen in any of the STEREO image products. It looks like this:

We finally had another C-flare after 43 hours of low activity. According to Solarsoft 1381 produced a C1.5 flare.However, their flare-locater image appears to show region 1382. I think these two regions are like siamese twins with intertwining magnetic fields.

Well wishes for a happy holiday!

2012 may begin with some possible DOOM (man-made, of course). The Russian Mars space probe (FAIL!) Phobos-Grunt weighing some 14 tons will break up and rain debris onto Earth. Potential doom from radioactive Cobalt-57 isotopes on board (as well as 12 tons of toxic fuel) is being downplayed (natch) by Roscocosmos and the media. It should at least produce a nifty light show somewhere.
[link to www.mirror.co.uk]

A 2012 supernova-doom scenario is being discounted by scientists. A lethal Gamma Ray Burst, however, can't be entirely ruled out. C'mon Doomtards, astronomers are running out of 2012 theories to debunk.

Many blessings...and the and the same to you, too!

MILKY WAY'S MAGNETIC FIELD MAPPED WITH HIGHEST PRECISION-Space Daily

map:
[link to www.mpa-garching.mpg.de]

With a unique new all-sky map, scientists at MPA have made significant progress toward measuring the magnetic field structure of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail. Specifically, the map is of a quantity known as Faraday depth, which among other things, depends strongly on the magnetic fields along a particular line of sight. To produce the map, data were combined from more than 41,000 individual measurements using a novel image reconstruction technique.

rest of story here:
[link to www.spacedaily.com]

The magnetic fields investigation is getting bigger all the time. Next they want to map the EXTRA-galactic magnetic fields.

Good ol' Dr. Strong interrupts his holiday to give us his take on Comet Lovejoy's "tail-ectomy".

Looks like the sun is about to unleash a cme

Thanks Hugh!

Good morning

Good mornig! How are you today?

Nice catch, AC872! This is a strange CME as I cannot find a reason for it. There was a LDE B9.8 flare from 1376 at the time as well as an eruption on the limb from 1374; but I can't determine if these had anything to do with the CME. As usual, we'll have to wait for SOHO to fill in the crucial 8-hour data gap. The CME looks both substantial and possibly Earth-directed going by the STEREO A+B images. Santa Claus could have some auroras to guide his sleigh this year.

A large new active region (1384?) has come over the NE limb and it looks like it could produce significant flares.
:ar1384:


[link to sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov]

At the time of the CME there was 3 simultaneous events going on! I can't say where the CME erupted for sure but I'm leaning towards a filament prominence on the SW limb. However it appears from the STEREO images it may have been in the northern hemisphere, so confusion remains. At exactly the same time as a B9.8 flare from 1376 there was a strong (unrecorded?) flare from 1375 beyond the NW limb; AND a large prominence eruption near 1374 on the SW limb. Perhaps all these far-flung events are connected?

All three events can be seen in the same SDO/AIA 304a picture:
