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

evil pac-man doom!!!

hiya 88!

thats some cool image! big thanks have saved it maybe i can use this later....:D

finally some action




hiya spider, your welcome

Good morning and thank you all. You are my favorite morning afternoon, and evening read.

A CUADRI-POLAR SUN HAVE WE NOT YET SEEN
IS THERE A CHANCE FOR A MONO-POLAR SUN?

"INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 30 Jun 2012, 1222UT

Solar activity has returned to eruptive levels in the past 24 hours. NOAA AR 11512, 11514, 11515 and 11516 have each produced one C flare within this period, while AR 11513 has released three C flares. The brightest flare peaked around 08:30 UT on June 30 as C4.4 on the GOES X ray flux scale, originating from AR 11514. More C flares are expected within the next 48 hours with a slight chance for an M flare, especially from NOAA AR 11513 and 11515. The expected coronal hole high speed solar wind stream has arrived at ACE in the early UT hours of June 30. Solar wind velocity has since increased from about 400 km/s to a plateau of about 600 km/s. Meanwhile, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field strength has fluctuated between 5 and 15 nT, with the Bz component sometimes reaching -10 nT for short periods. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels (Dourbes K between 2 and 4; NOAA Kp between 1 and 4) during the past 24 hours. Due to the arrival of the high speed solar wind stream, active (K Dourbes = 4) to minor storm (K Dourbes = 5) levels are expected for the second part of June 30 and for July 1st. A return to quiet geomagnetic levels is likely for July 2nd."

We have lift-off...again...C1.3 atm...may have peaked..?

Peace

Edit-- Yup...peaked at C1.3

Theres a thread about the sun looking black except where the sunspots are. It looks almost like a massive coronal hole,very strange looking???????

Sorry the soho eit pics

Many earth facing sun spots for this week,
1512
1513
1514
1515
2 New

Yep the imagery looks dark but its not the sun

SDO Imagery looks still fine:

But im asking soho what caused this problem

nT was very unstable by the 17 june events

Thanks my good man!

For me it's negative charged & not a soho default i'm maybe wrong but..

Wind speed and temps are up there!

Nasa is saying we've got a masive dark coronal hole in the upper atmosphere of old sol, maybe soho pics are correct? By the way it feels like i'm living on the thing right now, damn this is oppressive heat

MASSIVE PROMINENCE: Amateur astronomers around the world are monitoring a massive, active prominence dancing along the sun's southeastern limb. If you have a solar telescope, take a look. The latest images suggest an eruption might be in the offing. Stay tuned for action.

DARK HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: Ultraviolet telescopes onboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory are monitoring a vast dark hole--a "coronal hole"--in the sun's upper atmosphere. It has just turned directly toward Earth.
Coronal holes are places where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows the solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this particular gap is en route to Earth, due to arrive on July 2nd or 3rd. The impact could spark geomagnetic storms and auroras.

Is SOHO and SDO down?
I can pull up any site in the universe except those two.
Anyone else having problems?

yep its down


Helioviewer seems also be down


check out Solarimg:

Maybe they are in protection mode. Still wait for a response from sdo and soho/esa

ISWA also seems to be down.

Nice flare, that C1.3, not from a named sunspot. LMSL movie is great... distinct rotation at the beginning, temporary coronal hole forming as the CME launches, a small wave front radiates outward...

Is the solar wind speed really that high?

All the NASA websites are down....massive power blackout in the DC area.

Another C, at least, in progress...

hiya hugh nice to see ya in here!


hope this is a suggestion


Funny was i asked them today a lot of question and it was strange...all sites goes down one by one :D

M class flare

this is a nice sized rise going on
now at a M1.1 and still going

We now have the 4th M-flare from AR1513.

[link to halpha.nso.edu]

M flare in progress

maxed out @ M1.6

Hello there Sun friends!

Looks like things are starting to get really hot out there.

M flare...
1st place... AC1621347
2nd place... NiNzrez
3rd place... Hugh M Eye
4th place... AC17362578

lol...nice
