SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily) | |
shadasonic  User ID: 10309055  United States03/05/2012 09:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | a lot of talk in here today about sunspot 1429 Quoting: NiNzrez but i have not seen anyone mention that this large northern sunspot region have the same polarity characteristics as a southern located sunspot for anyone who may not know the polaritys reverse when the sun goes through a solar reversal, also known as the solar maximum at that time, the leading polaritys of the sunspot regions switch places we can see in this magnetogram image taken in 2002 [link to soi.stanford.edu] that sunspots in the northern region are of a positive/negative structure with the leading area (on the right) being positive (white), and on the left being the negative (white on the right, black on the left) in the southern sunspots, its the opposite (black on right, white on the left) when the sun went through a polar reversal in around 2003, that it does each 10-12 years, these polaritys reverse this is why, we now see sunspots in the northern region with black on the right, white on the left and the sunspots in the southern region white on the right, and black on the left as we see here in a magnetogram image from SDO for March 7th 2011 the day this thread was made [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] now compair that magnetogram image to the latest magnetogram image for today [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] notice anything odd? how about how... this huge sunspot 1429 has the same polarity (positive/negative - white on right, black on left) and the ones in the southern region do 1429 is the opposite of all other northern region sunspots Great catch Nin! We got a bubbler on our hands,notice the writhing magnetic plasma,alot of energy with this one. This puppies got potential! As we get closer to maximum,the sunspots will start appearing closer to the suns equator.We are a little ways off I would say,but this cycle by no means is going to disappoint “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.

Then, BAM! He is poppin off all kinds of flares. Doesnt look good, and there is an even bigger sun spot about to turn the corner if Im not mistaken.

| Hugh M Eye User ID: 5467634 United States03/05/2012 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting article from 2001: NASA:The Sun Does A Flip- "Meridional flows on the Sun's surface carry magnetic fields from mid-latitude sunspots to the Sun's poles," explains Hathaway. "The poles end up flipping because these flows transport south-pointing magnetic flux to the north magnetic pole, and north-pointing flux to the south magnetic pole." The dipole field steadily weakens as oppositely-directed flux accumulates at the Sun's poles until, at the height of solar maximum, the magnetic poles change polarity and begin to grow in a new direction.

And to think that for days last week there was only one lonely C4 flare. We had a lot of filament eruptions to watch though. Look at the X-ray flux at Solarsoft from left to right. One big spot made quite a difference! Scroll down to the flare list; 37 of the last 40 flares were from 1429! [link to www.lmsal.com] |

And take a close look [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] Sunspots are a convoluted mess of magnetic field lines for the most part and the magnetogram only has the ability to see the surface, but basically, for 1429 the polarity is the same as the rest in the northern, it's just been so twisted over the days that it appears at a quick glance to be the alternate polarity. look close you can see the 'white' on the left on it, look earlier in it's life and you can more clearly see the 'white' on the left. Further note, If the magnetic poles had shifted you would see massive uprising in the 'normal' polarity sunspots, and that sunspot would actually be extremely calm for it's size. |
