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

Maybe it was something on your lens, or another part of the camera, that has since fallen off?

Just trying to find the most logical solution, because that is usually the answer.

Agreed… but I love the what if?

Howdy, Da fuq, you must have sensed something incoming, eh? We're getting hit by some high-density plasma now. I suspect we're seeing some 'glancing blow' from some CME or other. So far there isn't much effect on the K-indices.

Good morning, team!

Let's hope for an exciting day!

Good morning everyone.

:SmilieHearts:

I know the flux's are not much but the cause is what is concerning me.

Seems like the cosmic rays may be pushing dense hot particles this way.

Look forward to the CHS.




Well a 12 times normal density spike is actually something, but the question remains the cause.

many anomalies zoom in and out this thing just pops in there out of no where and it has like 6 other small things and giant frequency rings as big as the sun

good morning everyone.

New Delhi: Though over 150 people are reported dead so far from the "Himalayan Tsunami" in Uttarakhand, officials say they expect the death toll to eventually hit the thousands. Many parts of the state where people are stranded remain inaccessible. 65,000 people are waiting to be rescued.

Many parts of the state where people are stranded remain inaccessible. Kedarnath - the epicentre of the devastation - remains near-impossible to reach. Bad weather this morning has prevented military helicopters from landing here. Amit Chandola, a state spokesman, said authorities so far have been unable to reach eight villages feared washed away by the weekend floods. He said the official death in Uttrakhand is 104 but added, "We don't know yet what happened to hundreds of people living there." (See hardest-hit areas in Uttarakhand)

A joint operation by the Army, Air Force and paramilitary forces has so far evacuated nearly 13,000 people stranded in the area but nearly 62,000 people remained cut off, officials said. 30 IAF aircraft and 12 Army Aviation choppers are being used to air-lift and help stranded people. 8,500 Army troops are helping the National Disaster Response Force and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel in rescue efforts (Pics: Army called in for relief)

90 soldiers were sent to Kedarnath this morning. They are carrying communication equipment, medicines and food. Army helicopters dropped 2000 food packets in areas near Kedarnath today. (Here's how you can help)

Over 5000 people remain trapped in and around the famous Kedarnath temple. Pilgrims were headed here to visit the 1000-year-old shrine before it closed for the monsoon, which arrived two weeks early and with relentless force. Another 15,000 are stuck in Badrinath and nearby areas.

Kēdārnāth Mandir (Kedarnath Temple) is one of the holy Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located on the Garhwal Himalayan range near the Mandakini river in Kedarnath, Uttarakhand in India. Due to extreme weather conditions, the temple is open only between the end of April (Akshay trutya) to Kartik Purnima (the autumn full moon, usually November) every year. During the winters, the vigrahas (deities) from Kedarnath temple are brought to Ukhimath and worshipped there for six months. Lord Shiva is worshipped as Kedarnath, the 'Lord of Kedar Khand', the historical name of the region.

The temple is not directly accessible by road and has to be reached by a 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) uphill trek from Gaurikund. Pony and manchan service is also available. The temple is believed to have been built by Pandavas and revived by Adi Sankaracharya[1] and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest Hindu shrines of Shiva. Pandavas were supposed to have pleased Shiva by doing penance in Kedarnath. The temple is also one of the four major sites in India's Chota Char Dham pilgrimage of Northern Himalayas.

In June 2013, flash floods and rain nearly destroyed the town of Kedarnath. The temple complex and surrounding areas suffered damage. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

also on june 17th 2013 there was a coronal hole shape (TRIANGLE) link-> [link to stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov]

OK what is the giant planet that appears to the southeast of the sun. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen anything like that before, maybe its something easily explainable but it appears a few seconds into the movie, totally freaked me out! Play the movie for today and focus in on the southeastern are

:planet o:



Heres the pic from helioviewer , what planet is this in the corner. During the movie it literally appeared out of nowhere!

There's a couple "Circle shapes" near the sun!

:cor1anomaly:

Hey D!

Weird thing is it just materializes out of thin air, or 'space', plus it is showing shading from the sun, so it doesn't look at all to be a pixelated artifact.

Hey Shad !!

I made a movie in Helioviewer for a week and does show up all of a sudden on the begging of the 18 of June!

[link to helioviewer.org]

Nice one D!

I've watched helioviewer ALOT, and have never seen that before.

want to share kinda nice

Any other threads discussing this ?? I did find one

I can't tell exactly what it is, but it sure ain't no planet. Most likely debris from the spacecraft distorted by its proximity to the lens. Here's an old link I found for the STEREO Cor 1 instruments (yes, the Cor 1 has its own website!):

[link to cor1.gsfc.nasa.gov]

I checked the event log and it didn't list anything unusual for that time and date.However, I found this on their image gallery page-

""COR1 spots space debris
An outward bound piece of space debris is captured in these successive COR1 polarization sequences. Occasionally, small pieces of the thermal blanket material surrounding the spacecraft are dislodged by micrometeorites and travel across the field of view of the STEREO coronagraphs. These pieces of debris usually look like donuts because they're so close to the lens that they're tremendously out of focus, and take on the appearance of the telescope aperture, with the occulter in the center. It's not unusual to see such debris particles in the COR1 images, but it is unusual to see the same particle in more than one image sequence."

Very interesting anomaly all the same. Thanks to the original AC poster. Oh, you can also try emailing someone at NASA for an explanation. If you ask a civil and honest question someone tends to answer you. Let us know if you find out what the cause is.

Thanks for the info HME, will see what I can find out!

COMET C1/2012- ISON FORECAST-from Sky & Telescope Observing Blog.

"Newly discovered comets are always a bit mysterious and confounding in how they develop. That’s especially true for new comets that become active early, promising great things while they’re still far from the Sun. In these cases, predictions of future glory often fall flat.

So what can we expect from Comet ISON (C/2012), now approaching amid great expectations? It will swing close by the Sun at the end of November and climb up the dawn sky in December. Some of the media have been billing ISON as “the comet of the century.” Is there a chance that this won’t be an embarrassment?

The excitement arises from the remarkably close Sun graze that the comet will perform at its perihelion on November 28th. It will fly less than one solar diameter past the Sun’s surface, with the dusty ice of its nucleus broiling violently. Despite the unknowns, past performances by sungrazing and sun-skirting comets allow us to make a reasonable estimate of what’s in store."
