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

Z

Hey Zack...good to see you on!

Thanks OG, it's good to feel young again!

woo-hoo! more common...er..."C" flares!
Bring on the "X20"!!!

Well old guard,... it's great to be back.

Trying to do a little catch up tonight.

Hope you are well friend.,...

And All.

Looks like another little C2.9 flare!

@ 11:11 peaked at C1.3, but looks like it's trying to squeak out some more ..... ^^

still rising....:)

and morning :D

Good morning to you IWTB

wow, thx^^

We have a new C 7.0 flare

Surprise, this located around region 1455 which rotated off the limb

SDO AIA 94 shows it up very beauty

Latest SDO AIA 304 shows us also some ejecta but due to the location of this it will probably not geo effective

1455 we will miss ya too :)

new blog post is up

Hey Rev, long time no see ??? I just realized you have a new avatar, (used to the anime, now a frantic sponge Bob ???)and didn't put the two together.

Hope all's well !!!

Maybe warning us of her potential the next time around .... ;)

Howdy. I've been reading this thread daily to make sure we're not toast yet lol. You guys and gals here do an awesome job, thanks.

Looks like 1462 is the culprit, so what was going on in 1455 region ?? Was that the "extra kick" we saw on GOES ??

haha nice catch,


thats not the first time that lmsal is wrong

I bet they will change this soon :)



here's the laetst AIA 131 Close up :

I didn't realize lmsal was Lockheed Martin .... who never forgets who they are working for .... HA!

We'll have to see, I certainly didn't see the flare at 1462 0n EVE.

Time you went and applied for a job there IWTB.

IF their egos allow it ;)

So IWTB, what happens if you have 2 flares kick off at once ?? Is there a way to distinguish their separate intensities ?
I've seen it here before, but I don't think I've ever really thought about before.



(PSSST ~ They just changed it [link to www.lmsal.com]

Nice one, good question


Well at first a solar Flare is a eruption of intense high-energy radiation (LIGHT) from the sun's surface and will reach the earth very fast in about 8MIN

And we also know if a flare took place it doesnt mean it ejects a cme but it could be. So i guess if there are 2strong flares take place in a short time it could trigger or ejects more material

But i know this was not your question in all...but i believe that severall flares in a short time can show up more intensity yep (more high energy/radiation will be released)

All activity we notice in the GOES X-ray flux chart effects us. The last flare from 1455 which rotates off yesterday is avery nice example. There was also a nice bigger flare a time ago on the farside and we notice this here in flux. LMSAL was confused and could not find any location at the end..they find it^^

So if the location had a bit more earth boundary it would be much higher


sry for my bad ass english tried to write without this damn translator crap :)

Makes perfect sense ... and I had never really put the GOES data in perspective, that regardless if there is a CME headed toward earth, the XRAY flux measured on GOES WILL effect us, again regardless.

Your English is wonderful, and NEIN, you don't want to hear my German ;)

NOAA issues another radio emissions alert-

Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP2
Serial Number: 789
Issue Time: 2012 Apr 19 1155 UTC

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2012 Apr 19 1110 UTC
Estimated Velocity: 1031 km/s
Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP4
Serial Number: 367
Issue Time: 2012 Apr 19 1155 UTC

ALERT: Type IV Radio Emission
Begin Time: 2012 Apr 19 1117 UTC
Description: Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.

STEREO Ahead shows 2 or more CMEs:

... and some lift [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Just hanging there, might be more to it ...

A large filament is lifting off near the SW limb:

Thanks Rev! Glad to see I'm not the only old fart!
IWTB off topic but... Is Holsten(?) still a German beer? In me army days (1990) I used to keep a sixer in my desk drawer. Never have had a beer so tasty that did not need to be chilled. Us Yankees are finally (trying to)put good taste to beer. Maybe now that Budweiser is Belgian it might, but not holding my breath.
Not trying to derail but....beer and stargazing do go hand in hand. Well, in Georgia beer and anything go together!
I digress....

No problem.

I second that!!!!!

Hiya,

Holsten is still a german beer but bought by a danish concern "Carlsberg"

The Holsten/Carlsberg group now owns Astra Pils, Carlsberg Bier, Dübelsbrücker Dunkel Dunkles Bier, Gatz Altbier, Grenzquell Pils, Hannen Altbier, Holsten Pils, Lüneburger Pils, Moravia Pils, Tuborg Bier


People in germany say if they are drinking Holsten " Holsten knallt am dollsten" Its a rhyme and means "holsten pops the most"

Its not bad but i prefer Reissdorf Kölsch (region where i live or...lived) and some bavarian one like Erdinger Weißbier,Paulaner and sometimes darkbeer from eastgermany like Köstritzer

sry for offtopic,

damn now im thirsty
:katlaalesignatur:

Hey, fellow hop-head(s), did you see that vid I posted last night about Nepune? It said the moon Chiron was discovered by a brewery owner who funded his observatory with his beer profits. Can't remember the blokes name tho, I was drunk when I saw it, lol. Cheers! I'd like a dunkel, please.

Here,here! Would love one too, but off to work.:-(
Fortunately I work at a machine shop so will check back soon. If you can have one for me!

Lots of activity on the Sun right now. AR1462 seems to be gaining in strength and it's magnetically interacting with 1463. In some the SDO movies they seem to be firing phasers at each other. A new active region has sprung up due north of 1460; also a small spot appeared between 1461 and 1460, and another small slpot near the SW limb.

I noticed a weird bubble of magnetism near the equator above 1463. I'm not exactly sure what caused this, but it may be a precursor to another soon-to-emerge active region. It's easier to see in the vids, but appears as a blue canopy in this AIA composite.
