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

Found this interesting chart showing CMEs detected vs. Sunspot Number for Cycles 23 & 24. It appears the number of CMEs this cycle outnumber the last peak in 2000; but the SS# appears to be about 40% lower in cycle 24. More filaments perhaps?

Chart from CACTus in Belgium:

On a conspiratorial note, the CACTus CME list "NOT FOUND ON THIS SERVER", although the homepage is accessible. Does this open for anyone else?

And the SEEDS Lasco-based CME list stopped on September 10. WTF? They do have a list from STEREO A & B updated yesterday. They used to have the SOHO image analysis posted within hour or two of a CME and were always well ahead of CACTus. Again, WTF?

It's not like fast food joints-a-plenty, these are the only 2 CME lists that I know of which are updated daily. Now EVE disappears with no "calibration mode" excuse posted. Are we heading into Solar Max with blinders on?

HEY YOU GUYS!!

HEY YOU GUYS!!

Those are from these recent GRB's;

For anyone interested I've tracked down the GOES 15 Fall 2012 eclipse schedule. I have a hard time deciphering the new charts they've concocted. Also note that GOES-14 is considered non-operational and classified as "in-orbit storage". In other words it's not being used currently as a weather satellite, so its eclipse times are not listed. As you probably know the GOES satellites are primarily weather imaging and sounding instruments. We're lucky that they measure x-rays and space-weather data at all.

You see the sudden return back to normal back ground readings in this chart?

That is clearly the energy from a GRB.

Thanks Q, figured they were. My minds thinking too much,had superwaves on my brain,but looked into it and realized they would trigger all sites and just not particular regions. Great info to delve into.

One thing thats interesting is GRBs usually decrease during solar max, yet we're seeing a slight increase. I guess most of it depends on how much energy the sun is letting out and we've been a little slow!

Hello everyone : )

I've just been reading through some of the(many)pages since I was last in here(still got 5 to go!) - Thought I'd take a break to post this Sim. of our Magnetic Fields of the last 150 Updates [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] <--- It begins around 11:00am on the 23rd,you can see that for the majority of the time the Closed Field(in Red)has been pulled out behind us instead of its' usual tightly bound position closer to the Earth - I know we are expecting to have encountered CH Streams but this did'nt just begin at the time I started the Sim. to run according to here [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] it's been going on from around 04:33am UT on the 23rd - It's a little strange because the By/Bz do not really show too much deviation from the 'Norm'.

Hi SC

Thanks for the info

Tink Tink

There one day will be a super wave that will blow the charts off them graphs, most of earth will be destroyed. Cosmic Ray Burst can be deadly to planets. There is evidence of this having occurred here in the past.

Hello Q : )

Is there evidence of GRB created Catastrophe here on Earth!?

I know that it is highly plausible,do you or anyone else here pint me in the correct direction to read about this please : )

None that I have found, just speculations.

But I think, due to recent events, that we will most likely find this out in our life time.

I wonder if we'll smell like Bacon when that happens Q?

Is so,the Apocolypse will at least smell like a Full English Breakfast : )

So remember Children - Next time you smell Bacon duck and cover,if nothing happens then stand and continue on to your closest Sammich Outlet.

This one comes to mind...
Gamma-Ray Burst Caused Mass Extinction?
Anne Minard for National Geographic News April 3, 2009
A brilliant burst of gamma rays may have caused a mass extinction event on Earth 440 million years ago—and a similar celestial catastrophe could happen again, according to a new study.
Most gamma-ray bursts are thought to be streams of high-energy radiation produced when the core of a very massive star collapses.
The new computer model shows that a gamma-ray burst aimed at Earth could deplete the ozone layer, cause acid rain, and initiate a round of global cooling from as far as 6,500 light-years away.

I just spent the past 5-days reading this thread......

FUCK YOU!!!

For all the 'Galactic Plainers' - You can tell from this image [link to www.nasa.gov] that we are not about to cross the GP,you can clearly see that the Sun is at least a good Inch below the ecliptic,and that is from NASA.
