Hugh M Eye User ID: 10350623 United States 02/07/2012 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Surprisingly, no CME detected from that long-duration flare from 1410. Must have been an intense coronal rain-storm, though. Two SDO close-up movies in differing wavelengths shows 1410 at its most colorful and photogenic. [link to sdowww.lmsal.com] [link to sdowww.lmsal.com] It seems we won't have spotless sun for at least a couple of more days. A new, un-numbered active region (1415?) has quickly emerged approx. 30 degrees from the western limb producing more than one C-flare including a C2.6. seen in this H-alpha image.

I count at least five small spots spread over a large plage area. Also, two smaller new active regions have appeared in the southeast.

Hugh M Eye User ID: 10478491 United States 02/09/2012 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | :cme2/09: A large and violent eruption most likely from a large filament near the eastern limb. On some of the SDO composite movies a huge shockwave or solar-tsunami can be seen rolling almost 60 degrees in from the limb. I can't rule out the possibility of a major flare from somewhere beyond the limb, but a giant filament can be seen flying off in some images.

Beautiful SDO close-up movies of fantastic filament eruption [link to sdowww.lmsal.com] [link to sdowww.lmsal.com] Unfortunately the movie ends before the shock-waves can be seen. Probably the waves were caused by copious amounts of plasma raining back to the surface. :erupt2/09: |

Hugh M Eye User ID: 10504593 United States 02/10/2012 12:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | we have a CME seen coming from the area just to the west of southern sunspot region 1416 Quoting: NiNzrez [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] Good catch, NIN. I can't seem to find any flare or filaments in that region responsible for the eruption. Perhaps it's one of those "stealth" CMEs. Sometimes vacant or empty filament channels erupt for reasons no one quite understands yet. "The problem is that whatever is causing these stealth events is beyond what we can see with telescopes we have now," said Alexei Pevtsov of the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, NM. [link to www.nso.edu] Earlier there was another giant filament eruption on the far northwest limb. [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] That event was followed by a powerful flare from beyond the west limb at region 1410. GOES X-ray flux recorded it as a C1.1, but it has all the earmarks of at least an M-flare. [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] |

[link to www.theplanetstoday.com] [link to secchi.nrl.navy.mil] [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] Strangely, Mercury has appeared for one frame in the C3 images and disappeared again. Most likely the reflection and blooming pixels are from Mercury, not Venus. The apparition and disappearance of Mercury is probably due to SOHO's orbit going retrograde...just a guess.

Possible 6+. Radio Direction Finder has signal coming in East of France from somewhere out in the Northern, Mid to Southern portions of the Pacific plate to Alaska, Canada and Chile. All who live anywhere in the vicinity of this line trajectory should be wary next 5 hours. Have escape plan ready and seek open terrain in the event of felt tremor. Secure most of your heavy objects and belongings around your home. Namaste, Hopefully I am wrong. Or it hits an unpopulated area. Japan is also a likely target. Be wary. |
