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

Let us know when they reach 10 to the 4th power.

Protons again!

Lets see if they manage to exceed that last crazy Proton Event that lasted Days earlier this Year!

That was intense.

The Electron Flux has been strange also of late.

ACE appears to be down. Anyone check it out lately?

Yes..went off about 30 Minutes ago.

It was fluxing a little but nothing too major.

Thank you S'C.

Namaste.

Same back at ya' : )

Last time we saw M8 flare and an X-flare. We haven't even had a C-flare recently!
This must be coming from the Great Filament Tsunami of 2012....or else there's something I'm not aware of.

They all begin spiking at the same time...about 18 hours ago.

mhh crazy or?


normally i dont like this dr...but he catches it up so what^^

THE SUN TODAY: 25 February 2012 - A Proton Flare from Nowhere

more to the end he comes to the proton event

Thanks for posting. Poor Doc is losing his mind from all the Aluminum in his crust (note correct spelling!).

Those weren't flares, they were filament channel eruptions; and they weren't "tiny" events, they were mega-huge events (at least the first one). Oh, I guess he didn't hear about the Earth-directed CME yet. At least he confirms, sort-of, that the protons are coming from the source of the CME eruption. I thought for sure the Klingons had proton torpedoes, LOL.

lol



i prefer klingons^^
:newwoody:

ha..stop or the annunaki's :P

Dr.Keith Strong is now really showing his ass alot.

ACE data is back on line after 4 or 5 hour gap. Low-Energy Proton flux is still rising.

n1 hugh

thats crazy, rly

mhh the flare and the eruption wee seen on stereo behind euvi couldnt be the result of this...time doesnt match

there was also some activity seen on stereo ahead euvi but this was also later

so wtf?!

Forgive me for quoting my own post from the 23rd, but I've finally found a movie which zooms in on that slithering snake-like filament described above. This is immediately prior to the big eruption & tsunami which sent the CME our way. I'm still amazed at the rapid movement, 90 degree turns, and the long distances covered.

I'm waiting for a solar event that looks like a smiley.

This has some smileyness

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 056 Issued at 2200Z on 25 Feb 2012

Umbral separation was
observed in Region 1422 (N15W78). Slight decay was observed in the
trailing spots of Region 1424 (N08E52). The rest of the spot groups
were relatively quiet and stable. A filament eruption on the SE
limb was observed in SDO/AIA 304 imagery beginning at 24/1911Z. A
corresponding CME off the SE limb was observed in LASCO C2 imagery
beginning at 24/1948Z. The CME is not expected to be geoeffective.

IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low with a chance for C-class activity for the next three days (26 -
28 February).

A greater than
10 MeV proton enhancement began at approximately 25/0330Z and
reached a maximum of 3 pfu at 25/1830Z and continued to be enhanced
by the end of the reporting period. The event did not reach event
threshold and likely originated from a backside event.

Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet on day 1 (26 February). Early on day 2
(27 February), unsettled to active conditions are expected with
minor storm periods possible due to the expected arrival of the 24
February CME. Conditions are expected to calm to quiet to unsettled
levels with active periods possible by day 3 (28 February).

mhh okay..

The First Half:

That's interesting. There have been rare proton events from far-side eruptions, but I'm not buying it in this case. As you pointed out earlier, there was some activity beyond the east limb, but the only CME we saw was long after the proton event began; and we've seen no major x-rays leaking over the limb. I still think this is related to one of the two big channel eruptions somehow. I enjoy the fact that so many strange and mysterious things happen in connection with the sun that NOAA, NASA, and SIDC often contradict each other. Sometimes I think they just make shit up, LOL.

Oh yep thats confusing sometimes too...



This will get funny if our sun comes with the real action^^

Thanks for the updates, Hugh and IWTB!!
There's been alot of data they are manipulating.

he is calling the filament ejections "flares"?
or did i see that wrong? :/

i just got in from a day out and saw the protons
very strange indeed
i was wondering what it was from
saw nothing special on any SDO images that would cause this
Xray are about dead
hmmmmm
i will have to spend a bit of time tonight digging around for some good reason for this

for those that might have missed this, the CME arrival time was bumped up from the 27th, to the 26th

CME TARGETS EARTH, MARS: A coronal mass ejection (CME) launched from the sun on Feb. 24th appears set to hit both Earth and Mars. According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the cloud should reach Earth today, Feb. 26th around 1330 UT, followed by Mars two days later. Click to view the CME's animated forecast track

right now it is 05:02 UTC
so this CME is expected in about 8-9 hours
(Sunday Feb 26th @ 8-9am EST)

ummmm...what is this????

so, the protons started to rise right around the very end of the 24th, beginning of the 25th (UTC)

so i go look at STEREO

STEREO A, there is no data Feb 24th, 21:54:24 UT- Feb 25th, 05:09:35 UT

we have this image at 21:54:24 UT on the 24th where we see a southern CME (7 hour data gap)
[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]
and the next image at 05:09 UTC Feb 25th (7hrs later) showing no events
[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]

STEREO B, there is no data Feb 24th 23:54:24 UT - Feb 25th 01:54:24 UT (2 hour data gap)

on Feb 24th 23:54 UTC, we have this image where we can see there was a CME in the southern region
[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]
and the next image at 01:54 UTC Feb 25th (2hrs later) showing the remains of a CME
[link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov]

this southern CME occured at around the same time we see the protons start to rise
so, we would have to conclude that this proton event is not from any backside event (we dont even see a backside CME on STEREO)
but as a direct result of this southern CME that occured starting around 20:39 UTC on Feb 24th

BBC World News said that the fire in the Antarctica station started in the electrical generators.

high latitudes are the ones to show the effects first right

morning everyone
everyone sleeping in today? hahaha
the CME still has not showed up
could be anytime now

is this the source of our higher proton counts ?
