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

I think this is of the farside cme:

and the near side:

almost looks like hands reaching out there toward the end...

Steady increase in cosmic rays across the board as well.

I'm not sure what this means, but there it is...

Moscow neutron monitor is on the rise as well:

That solarsoft vid is awesome; a great representation of both flares.

Nin's hot spot, again!

Thanks, Mr. Splinter, nice close-up shot there. However the title of the vid is misleading.The video shows AR1562, not 1560. The M 1.4 flare was recorded by Solarsoft as coming from 1564.

In my opinion, the X-ray flux recorded the cumulative x-rays from two C 8 flares (approximately) from both 1564 & 1562, that's why I posted the vids showing both regions erupting. I believe there's a close connection between these two. Maybe we'll see another double-shot soon.

I am not seeing a CME, are you?

What you guys think are the chances of there being an like Carrington event within the next 48 hours?

we all knew this would happen once that sunspot reached that area of the western limb

anyone else getting a odd Error page when trying to access the STEREO images?

this is what i am getting:

You are right...I didn't even notice the title of the vid, just the location. I was/am trying to make a vid of the area using the filters shown on yer lmsal vid, but I cannot get it to save to YT. I have had intermittent problems with helioviewer saving to YT in the past, so if'n I can get it saved, I'll share it.

Those filters (131, 171, and 193) are nice because the flares will often show reddish.

Nice catch...I should've caught the vid makers error.

Same thing here too

ummm ok WTF?!?!
the timing of this has me worried!
why are they forbidding access to STEREO for us?!?!?!?!

Hi, NINzrez! Yes, I've had problems accessing STEREO and SDO today Try the iSWA site for Stereo images, they're pretty up-to-date there. No CME from the M (or dual C) flare...I've been checking SOHO and STEREO A (thru iSWA).

We have another slow simmer ongoing now. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Think that's bad, try loading this .... [link to www.solarham.net]

I'll say 0.00001 % to 0.0001 %. It could happen, ya never know....

Hey Hugh :)
yeah i have all those sites saved as well
my point with this is more of the fact that the STEREO and now i see SDO site are both blocking access to traffic to view images
we know that these are the main sites most use to view images for events
for anyone who wants to see the latest SDO images, here is a good working link
[link to sdodata.oma.be]

but this still leaves the question on why access is forbidden to the STEREO site images :/

helio vids cannot be shared by any method right now either. Not youtube or the direct link.

When it rains, it pours I guess...

and a bit funny how spaceweather posted this morning this post

QUIET WEEKEND: None of the sunspots on the Earthside of the sun poses a threat for strong flares. Solar activity should remain low throughout the weekend
[link to spaceweather.com]

why would they post this when we have some potential sunspots Earth facing
and as we all can see, we did in fact get a M flare this evening

Stereo and SoHo are both down, and have been for awhile.

Sdo and stereo

Here's the model of Hugh's farside CME

Not unless it is man made.

Not likely.

Transformer got struck in the storm. Currently (minus the internet connection) I'm experiencing my own local carrington event. Does.that count El Q???

I'll throw in the CACTus details while we're at it:

Note: the SEEDS website is down also....this reminds me of the "derecho storm" which shut down the Washington D.C. area a couple of months back. Seems the same websites were affected. Bad weather in the District today???

TOR:CON shows potential
