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

Happy Birthday to Me!


What? No tsunami for me this year?

Solar Doom....well, that's more like it!

CME from the 6.3 hitting now I think?

Hi Hugh! Happy to answer. It looks to me like the CMEs were a combo from Regions 1430 and 1429 with 1430 leading. Generally once these Regions start getting this far toward the western limb, CMEs from that far out tend to only give us a glancing blow. However, anything that shows up on SOHO as a full halo CME usually is geoeffective. As to the orientation; I was going to do a presentation on this and just haven't had a chance yet. I wanted to have some mark ups of the SDO magnetogram for good visual aid. This cycle we started off with a high latitude sunspot in 2008, marking the beginning of cycle 24, and it was reversed in polarity from last cycles showing that the Suns poles had reversed as they do each new cycle. All the northern hemisphere regions should be N S, and we can see this represented on the magnetogram by the White for N(non colorized, Blue colorized), and Black for S(non colorized, Red colorized). Early on in the cycle almost all of the Sunspot Regions conform to this tidy standard with all northern hemisphere Regions being N S, and all southern Regions being S N. You can see this on the SDO Magnetogram. CMEs from the N S polarity Regions in the northern hemisphere arrive here with a southward orientation and CMEs from the S N polarity Regions in the southern hemisphere arrive here with a northward orientation. As the cycle progresses the polarity orientation of these regions begins to fluctuate and a close eye has to be kept on them to know what the orientation of the CME will be. Region 1429 is reversed in orientation in the northern hemisphere from all the others. It is oriented S N like all southern hemisphere regions and when the CME arrived on the 8th it was oriented north to south. I believe this one will be as well. When the CME that was ejected from both regions 1430 and 1429 arrive I believe it may very well arrive oriented S N but may also be one of those storms that the BznT swings back and forth constantly on.

Before it's "too late" (I have no idea what's about to happen but I'm just observing with every one else and trying to joke around to keep my head level above this potential doom): I've noticed an obviously weird piece of a potentially massive puzzle...

In the bottom left corner of the lasco c2 imagery you can find an apparent sphere either sending or receiving energy from the sun! Check it out [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

Print screen this in to an image editor and play with the colors and light effects and you'll find that it's VERY perfectly spherical. The Lasco c2 images are obviously altered to some extent to show the surface of the sun but this object is unusually dark. If it disappears from the picture I'll try and upload my color edits so every one else can see this bizarre object.

SORRY! It's the AIA 171, NOT Lasco c2... Lasco c2 has no evidence of an object contained within.

Now that's very interesting.

Thanks for the great catch!!

SE corner enlarge....

Looks like an embryo with umbilical cord still attached.

Good morning Z ... yes it does, and with all this great info flying in, I tend to miss a lot it if I leave for an hour or two !!!

I live in the Cascade mountains BC,last night I could here and feel the magnetic pulse, it's very quit here. Last time I heard it was at the end of January 2012. Anyone else hear it

I am still hearing it, very low hum that I can actually feel too

I am tempted to be flippant and ask you what meds your taking but,...this is a happy thread. Full of understanding.

How do you associate what you are hearing to magnetics?? Is your compass going screwy too??


***Edit to add***

Howdy Lookin!!!

the last time I heard /felt it was the end of January, I thought it was transformer noise, so I invetegated, all trnsfrmr near my house were silent.
So I researched online and learned that a solar storm was in progress.
I have been facinated with solar storms for a while and if I have learned one thing it is that in to many ways they are a mystery to most of us.
It just seems strange I heard it at end of January 2012 in crazy solar weather, and I am hearing now in crazy solar weather.

Happy Birthday to Me!
