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

I don't want to freak out any Doomers out there, but last night I was playing around with the SDO composite image of 1520; trying to bring out some unseen details. Alas, I saw this demonic skull with blood coming out of its eyes and mouth (not a good omen IMO). Does anyone else see this or have I been staring at the sun too long?
:bloody skull ss:

Here's the original image (I just checked and I didn't see it there anymore)-
:1520closeup:

O.O I actually think i see it, Infact i think i see more than one. I hope ive just been staring too long :O :ahhh:

Check out this movie of the EVE X-Ray images--after June 29 it looks like a strobe light!

Nice pic of yesterday's aurora near the South Pole, Antarctica:

The amazing arc between 1515 & 1513 is still a prominent feature on the west limb:

you guys need to chill out for a while :D

Look ar your shit man. For sure you will see also face on it.

:P I cant get enough! This is my first week staring at the sun like this, Its so exciting!!!!

Hugh - Do u think she will give us a good performance atleast something equivalent to 1515 ?

Seems flatlined now.

It's storing up energy. Its flatlining also means that it's in the process of growing bigger, perhaps.

Finally we see it, the second sun jupiter

:1520jupiter:

interesting..

this is a 4D rendering of that image flipped horizontally mirrored and stacked on top of the 180 image..

Striking image, RTS, kaleidoscopic like your avatar. You might want start a series for some art exhibitions.

I actually sent a sample image (a very striking image via google street view) to the library of Congress photography dept and heard nothing but crickets

same with everyone else I tried to get an explanation from :(

others are starting to duplicate the effect though which is good :)

Looks like it will be a low M class.

Ah peaked at C9.9, almost made it.

not even lol... it maxed out at C 9.9

what's with all the 9.9s lately

Good Morning, TS66, we've had a major filament eruption Earthside. The arched eyebrow filament lifted off completely. There may be an Earthbound CME, not visible on STEREO yet. Now I must go back to sleep, LOL. Peace, and keep an eye out for CME.....

Good Morning !!!

Thank you, you are the King of SDO, and halpha !!!
I'd never know about these rogue filaments if it weren't for you.

Get good rest, I think we'll be needing you later .

downgraded M for the statistics. like the quake downgrades

This is the only 9.9 I see over the past 6 days?

Morning all...........

mornin', LnTY. Let's hope for more action today than yesterday.
