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

[link to sdowww.lmsal.com] - Only source for current data 32mb raw uncompressed level-0 FITS images for all SDO wavelengths, plus the usual 1 & 4k JPEGs.

[link to umbra.gsfc.nasa.gov] - Another SDO source but they use different color gradients than the usual (sometimes with a huge benefit in visible detail) plus HINODE and SOLIS images.

[link to proba2.oma.be] - high quality PNG SWAP/PROBA 171 images.

[link to sdodata.oma.be] - Secondary, backup use SDO data source for when NASA servers are down (LMSAL, UMBRA/SDAC and SDO homepage sometimes all go offline at once)

For the record, the M-flare (and several C-flares) was attributed to new active region AR1583.

At midnight UTC the visible solar disk had 12 spotted active regions (in 2K resolution SDO images).

Region 11575 [N07W73] was quiet and stable. The flares that SWPC attributes to this region occurred in AR 11583.
Region 11577 [N08W55] produced a few minor C flares and appears less interesting than a day ago.
Region 11579 [S10E07] was quiet and stable.
Region 11580 [N18E17] was quiet and stable.
Region 11582 [S12E29] was quiet and stable.
New region 11583 [N12W77] emerged on September 27 and was noticed by SWPC two days later. The group developed slowly and was the most active region on the visible disk producing 5 minor C flares.

I must say I'm disappointed that with pages of chatter here, no one noticed that new active regions had formed. And only one poster noticed the arrival of the CME. Tsk,tsk,tsk. Please stop worrying about the Total Vertical Electron Count, it's pretty much meaningless except to HAM radio operators anyway.

[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] what is this big fall in protons?

Good Morning everyone! :)

Good MorNiNz!

HIII!!! At last!!!

Good morning Nin

I'm waiting for smilies to upload. These filament eruptions seem more concerning than actual flares from Sunspots lately.

Each eruption seems to fuel the filaments a little more in these two very active regions,

:93012am: :93012am2:


And as always they are far more impressive when watched on (or until the smilies are approved)

[link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] , for today, red 1024

another one!

on the rise !


[link to www.solarham.net]

Yep, still climbing....Ratio climbing slowly so might drop any sec....

your right

I always keep an eye on the ratio, if it rises pretty quick, the flare last a while...If the ratio slowly rises, almost like its struggling, it won't last long...

New region AR1583 will soon go beyond the west limb. Judging by its impressive growth and active flaring I think this one may be back around again.

Nice Hugh, I'm happy to gain this list as well. Solarmonitor's rehosting of the list is lagging behind at the moment, so here's the faster updating original.

Hello, NINz, it looks like our CME is a big dud, unless there's a denser wave coming in later. Barely a ripple in the space weather. Maybe the X-37b is chemtrailing the solar system now, haha. Even NOAA and NASA predicted a stronger event. So far Kp=3 QUIET. I hope we see a little action as the day unfolds.

perfect thank you Madjas !!

But, the big CME has not arrived yet!? That's how I understand it anyway..correct me if I am wrong. We hade a total of 3 incoming CME:s, 2 has arrived and we are still waiting for the big one..

Nice. 3 quick Cs.

I'm only aware of one noteworthy CME. All three of NASA's prediction times have passed. And the STEREO HI2 slideshow displayed a wave that has definitely gone by Earth and NOAA posted the Sudden Impulse at 11:38utc. Sometimes we see more action on the back end of the plasma. I suspect that the NASA density cone model was greatly exaggerated...we'll see.

Ha HA. You think that's being "Fucking ugly"? You must be on drugs again. If you think I'm "preoccupied" with putting out CORRECT information then you are right. You can call it whatever you wish. There was a Pinned thread about a "Big One" inbound the other day. It wasn't exactly correct was it? I said it was a small one and backed it up with data. Looks like I was correct...again. Here is the best indicator, check the chart here [link to satdat.ngdc.noaa.gov] If there was a large one that chart would look much different. There is one coming, and I don't think it has arrived yet. It won't be long though. It will probably be about what the forecast is calling for, a G2 [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] . Not the pinned "BIG ONE", which was the whole point of my postings. Sorry if you don't like someone else's analysis.

Nvm I'm not sure about what I posted

NIN, ban this dude of your thread....

He is starting to get on people's nerves...

TBAR, it is not your so called Analysis that are making people react to you, it is your blatant 'I am right and you are wrong' and your attitude to people who are learning...So what if people don't know everything yeah, it doesn't give you the right to talk down to people like you do, Mr Know it Fucking all....

Do yourself a favor, fuck off like Astro did...NOBODY likes you around here because of the way you speak to people. There is a lot of people on this thread who are providing information as they see it, they are not saying it's the fucking end of the world doom shit...

Shadasonic posted that thread based on the information that he and others had seen..It's called being observant and informing people, if anything, you could of applauded him for being observant and THEN have your say on why you think it isn't going to affect us, not come into the thread and bash & put people down like you do.... Even if a big one is not on the way, at least the information is getting out to some possible potential serious shit...

The way you talk to people is going to put people off posting anything again...If this happens, when a event happens that IS going to serious affect this Earth, people are going to be scared to post anything because of pricks like you belittling them...

And yes, I have named called you and talk to you like a piece of shit, because you see fit to talk to us like a piece of shit....What's good for the goose is good for the gander....

Why can't some people, with all there know it all attitudes take all their condescension and anger, and go start a new solar thread to their liking ???

Why does this always return to a battle ground of ego and arrogance ??

For the people that actually enjoy this thread, and want to participate in a positive manner, please don't let anyone keep you from posting questions or your observations ... it's the only reason this thread has lasted as long as it has

"CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection hit Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 30th at 10:25 UT. The impact was weak, lifting the solar wind speed around Earth barely above 300 km/s. Nevertheless, auroras are possible around the Arctic Circle as Earth's magnetic field reverberates from the impact.

The CME was propelled into space on Sept. 28th by an eruption of sunspot AR1577. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory caught the cloud expanding toward Earth at 2.2 million mph:

Although the initial impact was weak, a geomagnetic storm could develop in the wake of the CME. Keep an eye on the Realtime Photo Gallery for signs of polar lights."

EDIT: And you think it's fucking right to say 'You must be on drugs again' to SC when he has been a brilliant contributor to this thread, what the fuck do you contribute to this thread besides the obvious name calling, NOTHING. You have made no effect on this thread really compared to others and what you do contribute (Even if you are right) is just blatant name calling...WOW, Don't you see how much of a prick you are and why you and Astro seem to be getting threats...It's because NOBODY FUCKING LIKES YOU for your name calling and your fucking 'I am right & you are wrong' attitude....

Replying to Comments seem to be messing up....

Well said 66, you are right...If he knows it all, he should make his own thread and educate the masses to his way of truth..but he won't do that, he wouldn't get any followers due to his arrogance and name calling....Because of this, he has no option but to feel special by coming into long established threads like this and result in name calling to people who have contributed more than he ever would...

Sad really that he has to resort in bashing Shadasonic and Spittin' in the way he has....No wonder he has haters...

Well.. something's not right here... spaceweather.com claims that the CME impact hit at 10.25 UTC - and they get their info from NOOA...
BUT the Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse alert were made at 10.40 UTC by NOOA!! That doesn't add up does it?

aaron, thanks so much for that, couple there I did not have

its kinds looking that way as of now
