From a CH stream? I don't see how, then again this CH formed a perfect triangle at one point. I think it may be our shields being as weak as they are.
Our shields started to weaken around 400 years ago, so man being the cause is bullshit.
There is something affecting our solar system right now, change is noticeable on almost every planet.
This is the end of a cycle.
Quoting: Da fuq I'm assuming you're referring to the ACE low-energy protons graph. Remember that the ACE spacecraft is about a million miles in front of Earth (towards the sun), so it is outside of our 'shields' or magnetosphere. Also these 'Low-energy' protons are measured in kilo-electron volts whereas the GOES proton flux (in Earth orbit) measures the more powerful Mega-electron Volts we see in an SEP (solar energetic particle) event. ACE low-energy protons-24hr. flux plot: [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] GOES proton flux plot: [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] As far as what is causing the rise in protons, I haven't been able to find anything yet. Typically, they rise shortly following an energetic flare or CME. I haven't found too many of those today, haha. It's possibly from a far-side event (most likely near the Earth's magnetic footpoint in the SW). I don't believe it's related to the coronal hole winds. If you look at the 7-day plot you can see it's returning to near the same levels we saw on the 20th: [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] I am curious as to the source event, though, considering the x-ray flux has been flirting with "A-Levels" today (at least Earth-side). [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] Hello Hugh and all   You say you are not sure about the Protons,I thought you may be interested to know(incase you didn't already)that CMEs' themselves(also CHs')can cause a shockwave that is powerful enough to generate Highly Energetic Particles/SEPs' of 10MeV - 1GeV,here - ' outer corona, solar wind & SEPs
The geoeffectiveness of an interplanetary CME (ICME) is a result of both its intrinsic character and its ambient solar wind environs. In addition, fast CMEs can produce strong shock waves which in turn are efficient producers of very energetic particles (10MeV to 1GeV). These particles can physically damage spacecraft, and can be extremely dangerous to astronauts' [ link to solarmuri.ssl.berkeley.edu] Rice and Peas. You are correct, Sir Cesium. 'Twas the IP Shock sayeth NOAA, too....Alas- Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... Solar wind speed, measured at the ACE spacecraft, increased from approximately 400 km/s to end the period near 550 km/s as a coronal hole high speed stream became geoeffective. Total field reached 15nT by 26/1400 UTC while the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field ranged from around -10 to 12nT through the period. Low energy particle
flux detected by the EPAM instrument on ACE began climbing around
26/1600 UTC suggesting the approach of the shock from the 23 January
CME. [ link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] Schweet Hope you are good Sol'Man.
