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

Hello Da'Fuq and all

Daf - here,

'STEREO has two separate telemetry streams coming down from each spacecraft, the space weather beacon telemetry, and the science recorder playback telemetry. The beacon telemetry contains the most recent data and images, and is transmitted 24 hours per day. A volunteer network of antenna stations around the world collect as much as possible of this real-time data stream, and send it to the STEREO Science Center for processing. However, because the beacon telemetry rate is very low, the images need to be compressed by large factors, and are thus of much lower quality than the actual science data.

The science data collected by the STEREO spacecraft are written to the on-board recorder, which is then read out and transmitted to the ground during daily telemetry tracks using the NASA Deep Space Network. These data are of much higher quality than the beacon data, but take several days to reach the STEREO Science Center website. Thus, the most recent images on the STEREO Science Center browse tool will always be beacon images. These temporary beacon images are replaced with the full-quality versions as they become available, generally about 2-3 days later.

Beacon images can always be recognized by having the character "7" near the end of the filename, e.g. "n7euA", while the full resolution images will have the character "4" in that location.

Also check out the write-up on cosmic rays to see how the high compression factors used for the beacon data affect those artifacts.

Although the initial beacon JPEG images on the browse pages are replaced by the high resolution images as they become available, the original FITS versions of the beacon files are saved, and can be read using any of a large number of software packages, most of which are free' [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov]



Just catching up a second.

Good Day!

Hello also 66,Hugh and Z

This Coronal Cavity [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] on the extreme South-East is attached to a whopper of a Filament that can be seen on EUVI Ahead [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] <--- Covers about 2/3rds of the Southern Hemisphere - that will be something to watch for if it doesn't peel away with the protruding Prominence it has formed that is.

I take it you guys caught this article [link to www.nasa.gov] highlighted in S0s' Update,some very cool Simulations and info in there.

: )

Yea!!!

The light always shines here no matter what's happening outside,...

In the darkness.




Z

Hello Nin, very nice to see you!

Hello to you, stay safe TS! This storm has mean intentions as I'm sure you know

Shada, safely watching from my bedroom window

'In Complete Darkness we are all the same,it is only our Knowledge and Wisdom that Separates us'



Hello Shads!

A full house this evening

Hey Cesium;
Janet Jackson?

Sweet,...maybe that Xflux will drop a beat.



Z

Hmmm?

Perhaps I have just never noticed this happening in the past but again Plasma can be seen falling back into the Sun from extraordinary distance,3 on the Dial [link to www.sidc.oma.be] I have only begun noticing this in the last 3 Weeks - I don't suppose others can confirm whether I am looking at a relatively new phenomenon or not?

Hi everyone....been lurking for past few weeks between work. Things are getting interesting with filaments and quakes.
Stay safe everyone.
Has el q been on?

Not sure - Is that where the sample came from originally(Janet Jackson)!?

I just remember it from my raving Days,it was just a sampled Vocal - never knew where it came from,though I do like it

I'm waiting/expecting the supreme Bunsen Burner Helmet Streamer bunch on the North here [link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov] to blow,they usually do when bunched up in such a ferocious looking batch.

Oh,...a raver? That explains much. I don't know if Jackson originated the phrase,...I just seem to remember here saying it on an album of hers.


Z

Used to be a raver Z - no more

I have always been more of a Guitar kinda' Human Bean.

Hello there JustSayin'

I don't think I have seen in him in this thread for a couple of Days though I am sure he is about.

Hope you stay safe and warm!

Eyes on 1669/70 [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] [link to halpha.nso.edu] something may be cooking.


Edit:You can see Arcs spring up and transfer energies across from 1670 to 1669 in the super-hot 94Angstroms [link to sdodata.oma.be] that is why I am watching that area.

Tiss' just a anomaly thingamijig

Nothing important,just looks cool : )

Yes, I know,

[link to www.youtube.com]

We can see what has been buffeting our Magnetosphere for the last little while here [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] .

Thank Hugh!

looks like my uncle joe, 69 &70 and the filament for a nose.lol

At work signing off, catcha tonight suncrew. Arcing looks promising solbro!

Lol : )

Catch you then Shads - Though it is looking terribly boring at present.

Regardless.

Looks like quite a powerful event just occurred on Stereo EUVI Ahead [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov] (Middle of the Disc).

KaaPow!

Cool
