SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily) | |
joinca User ID: 8793176 United States 07/14/2012 04:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Friday, July 13, 2012 A Busy Week for SDO It has been a busy week for SDO. On Tuesday we did an EVE cruciform maneuver, where we point SDO back and forth and up and down to explore how EVE is working. At left is an AIA image taken during the cruciform. On Wednesday the Hi-C rocket lifted off from White Sands Missile Range (just over the mountains from the SDO ground station) and took high-resolution images of the Sun. I haven't seen any images yet, but I'm sure they will look great! Next, on Thursday we watched an X1.4 flare bloom out of AR 1520 (circled in the AIA 193 image at left.) The last X-class flare was from AR 1515 when it was near the limb (the right side of the Sun), so seeing one at disk center is pretty nice. We even got some news stories written about this flare: Sun unleashes most powerful solar flare of the summer (msnbc.com) [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] X-Class Solar Flare Causes Radio Outages (U.S. News & World Report): [link to www.usnews.com] Major Solar Flare Erupts From Giant Sunspot (Space.com): [link to www.space.com] Sun uncorks X-class blast (USA Today): [link to content.usatoday.com] With 2 X-class flares in 2 week it looks like the southern hemisphere is moving toward solar maximum! Posted by Dean Pesnell at 2:04 PM The full article is here: [link to sdoisgo.blogspot.com] "The government will one day be corrupt and full of liars, and the people will flock to the one that tells the truth." - “Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.” - "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - "A Country with no Border, is not a country" -- Thomas Jefferson We MUST NEVER forget what Kamala Harris did to Justice Kavanaugh & his family! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19720771 United States 07/14/2012 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My power just went out here in the mountains in California. Quoting: joinca twice now! Thanks for UPS to shut things down! Power is back on 15 minutes later. Sun related?? Doubtful... According to the alert, yes possible. ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5 Threshold Reached: 2012 Jul 14 1851 UTC Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur. Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible. Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] And don't forget, the K index is derive from an average around the globe, so it possible some areas are being effected worse than others WARNING: Geomagnetic K-Index of 6 expected Valid From: 2012 Jul 14 1915 UTC Valid To: 2012 Jul 14 2359 UTC Warning Condition: Onset NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state. |

Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 07/14/2012 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last I heard, just the very front of the CME has hit us. The main mass has not hit yet... Quoting: Gerry52 If that is the case, then we are in for a wild ride. I hope everyone is stocked up just in case! From NiN's page... [link to www.defx.net] This merging is what we have now seen on solar data and the brunt of the CME we are expecting today has yet to arrive. We are still seeing only the front. As the hours go on today, we will be able to know for sure. I know the voices aren't real, but man do they come up with some great ideas! Semper Fi USMC Very much an Occams Razor kind of guy. Bridging the gap between "It can't happen to us" and "We're all going to die". |

Possible, but doubtful...I'm a EE and even though I work on low voltage electronics, power grid fluctuations are somewhat normal. They can generally produce voltage dips and spikes, the kinds of fluctuations a line conditioner can handle. That was why I said doubtful, not no...
