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

Love his new Carrington Chart and correlations with SS activity, S0, you're awesome!!

I like how you roll, Zack!

Why thank you Isis,...I've noticed quite a few interesting posts far and wide with yer Moniker on them.



Namaste

28 Hours of Shape-shifting...spectacular!

Namaste! Thanks. I love this blogging format of learning and socializing, I'm new to it, only a couple years now.

awesome videography, I bookmarked their site. I wonder if a planetary body can be born this way?

AR1667 has been numbered .....1667! I must admit my error however in assuming it was 1654 returning-it isn't. AR1667 is too far north but the big boy is almost here. A quick glance at this SOTERIA graphic confused me (sorry).

OMG! Solar Pyramid with All-seeing Eyeball-

Unexpected plasma density spike between 20-33 p/ccm seen at the SOHO sensors. Must be one of those little invisible CMEs.

ACE shows nothing above a 10-count:

GOES Magnetometer:

NOAA forecasts quiet to unsettled conditions due to coronal hole stream.

Forecast...
On day 1 (02 Feb), an increase to quiet to unsettled levels is expected
as a coronal hole high speed stream moves into geoeffective position.
By day 3 (04 Feb), continued coronal hole effects combined with a
glancing blow from the 31 January CME are expected to cause unsettled to
active levels with a slight chance for periods of minor storming.

I'm still on my phone for another week, so I appreciate your updates Hugh as its very difficult for me to pull data. I've always appreciated your ability to collect and share pertinent info.

They're getting stronger.... C1.2 flare from AR1665 in the NE.

Good morning all.

Japan had a 6.9 EQ a few minutes ago. Thank God it was deep.

Awesome, Hugh. Thanks for posting it.

Yeah...

Thanks Shen!

Year of the Comet: Third comet set to make appearance in April 2013

Posted on February 2, 2013by The Extinction Protocol


February 2, 2013 – GREEN COMET LEMMON - 2013 could be the Year of the Comet. Comet Pan-STARRS is set to become a naked eye object in March, followed by possibly-Great Comet ISON in November. Now we must add to that list green Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6). “Comet Lemmon is putting on a great show for us down in the southern hemisphere,” reports John Drummond, who sent us a picture from Gisborne, New Zealand: “I took the picture on Jan. 23rd using a 41 cm (16 in) Meade reflector,” says Drummond. “It is a stack of twenty 1 minute exposures.” That much time was required for a good view of the comet’s approximately 7th-magnitude coma (“coma”=cloud of gas surrounding the comet’s nucleus). Lemmon’s green color comes from the gases that make up its coma. Jets spewing from the comet’s nucleus contain cyanogen (CN: a poisonous gas found in many comets) and diatomic carbon (C2). Both substances glow green when illuminated by sunlight in the near-vacuum of space. Discovered on March 23rd 2012 by the Mount Lemmon survey in Arizona, Comet Lemmon is on an elliptical orbit with a period of almost 11,000 years. This is its first visit to the inner solar system in a very long time. The comet is brightening as it approaches the sun; light curves suggest that it will reach 2nd or 3rd magnitude, similar to the stars in the Big Dipper, in late March when it approaches the sun at about the same distance as Venus (0.7 AU). Northern hemisphere observers will get their first good look at the comet in early April; until then it is a target exclusively for astronomers in the southern hemisphere. –Space Weather [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

Anyone have info on the CME seen by SOHO? I just got in and need to dig up some more imagery for this one. Here's the STEREO Behind cor 2 movie of CME:

NOAA has also issued a K-4 Warning-

What is hitting?

Woo-hoo!


I hope we see an X-5 before 2001 pages, LOL.

Little teensy-weensy sub-atomic particles.




Haha, just joking whiteangel...things are getting interesting in geospace, too. Here's NOAA's SW Forecast-

Solar Wind

.24 hr Summary...
The high speed stream that began late yesterday remained in effect.
During the period, solar wind speed at ACE rose from around 400 km/s to
end in the upper 400 to lower 500 km/s range. Bz varied between +/- 10
nT and total field reached about 12 nT during the onset of the high
speed stream. By the end of the day, Bz had settled to +/- 5 nT and
total field has diminished to about 5 nT. The solar sector orientation
was generally toward (negative) with the exception of a brief excursion
into the positive sector between 02/1500-1600 UTC. ACE spacecraft data
indicated the low energy particle flux was still rising at the time of
this report indicating the CME had not yet arrived.

.Forecast...
Solar wind speed is expected to remain enhanced through the forecast
period. The current equatorial coronal hole is expected to be followed
shortly by a negative polarity northern hemisphere coronal hole. The
solar wind will further be complicated by the expected arrival on day 1
(03 Feb) of a glancing blow from the 31 January CME.

Thank you Hugh. I noticed here the small CME
[link to www.solarham.net]
but didn't think it was enough to really make a change in the magnetosphere, even if it isn't a big change. I know you aren't into all the "other" stuff, at least not on this thread but with the time frames that BendingLight has been talking about, I have kept the [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] link up and noticed the change a little while ago.

Been out with the flu so haven't been keeping up like I should be, still playing catch up, still trying to get well, so brain isn't on full thrusters yet! Thanks again!

Weird Coronal Mass OOzing-
:2/2WTF?:
The Sun never ceases to amaze me with new things. This huge CME evolved in slow-motion over the course of at least 11 or 12 hours! I still can't find any one source event to trigger this, but it seems to be somehow connected to "Old Wimpy" 1654. It almost looks like half the sun's atmosphere just peeled away slowly and drifted into space....most strange.
