Hey, thanks for posting...there are no stupid questions (well maybe a few) here. Yes, this is a recent event and plasma is now leaving the sun and won't reach us for 3 days or so. This eruption was not associated with any flares or sunspot activity, but was the result of a magnetic filament liftoff.

shenue User ID: 37182755 United States 06/30/2013 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great barriers do exist in space and Voyager may have reached one: now what? Quoting: Luisport Posted on June 29, 2013by The Extinction Protocol June 29, 2013 – SPACE – Launched 36 years ago, the Voyager 1 spacecraft speeds a rate of about a million miles a day entering a bizarre and mysterious region more than 11 billion miles from Earth that scientists are struggling to make sense of. It’s a region where the fierce solar winds have all but vanished and pieces of atoms blasted across the galaxy by ancient supernovae drift into the solar system, the NASA probe is causing scientists to question some long-standing theories on the nature of our solar system and life beyond its cold dark edge dubbed the “magnetic highway” –a newly discovered area of the heliosphere, the vast bubble of magnetism that shields the solar system from deadly cosmic rays. Scientists had long envisioned this outermost layer of the solar systems, the heliosheath, to be a curved, distinct boundary separating the solar system from the rest of the Milky Way where three things would happen: The sun’s solar winds would become quiet; galactic cosmic rays would bombard Voyager; and the direction of the dominant magnetic field would change significantly because it would be coming from interstellar space, not the sun. “The models that have been thought to predict what should happen are all incorrect,” said physicist Stamatios Krimigis of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Scientists had assumed when Voyager exited the heliosphere, the vast bubble of magnetism surrounding the solar system, solar winds would become still, galactic cosmic rays would bombard Voyager from every angle and the direction of the magnetic field would change because it would be coming from interstellar space, not the sun. But the latest readings from Voyagers instruments support none of those suppositions, scientists said. Voyager has reported solar winds suddenly dropped by half, while the strength of the magnetic field almost doubled, and those values then switched back and forth five times before they became fixed. “The jumps indicate multiple crossings of a boundary unlike anything observed previously,” a team of Voyager scientists wrote in one a study. Voyager did detect the expected increase in galactic cosmic rays but found at times the rays were moving in parallel instead of traveling randomly. “This was conceptually unthinkable for cosmic rays,” Stamatios Krimigis, a solar physicist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., told the Los Angeles Times. “There is no cosmic ray physicist I know who ever expected that they would not all be coming equally from all directions.” Whether Voyager 1 — which launched in 1977 — has truly left the solar system has been a matter of some debate, because scientists have come up with competing theories on what constitutes in outermost edge. “We’re not free yet,” Krimigis said. “This is a new region that we didn’t know existed. We have no road map, and we’re waiting to see what’s going to happen next.” –Daily Galaxy [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] Last night I ran across one of the articles about this. It really is mind blowing, not just for me (with my low level space knowledge) but evidently for the NASA scientists also. Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Isis One User ID: 14343270 United States 06/30/2013 01:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, OK, a G3 Strong Geomagnetic Storm was caused by a CME that nobody saw coming. WTF? Quoting: Hugh M Eye According to NOAA the CH windstream hasn't arrived yet, so they roll out the old 'co-rotating interaction region' and 'transient' excuses because they don't know what happened either, LOL. By 'transient' I believe they're referring to the hobos who hang around in Boulder this time of year'. Seriously tho', it means 'a CME we didn't see coming' NOAA says- Geospace .24 hr Summary... Geomagnetic field activity ranged from unsettled to severe storm levels. The increase in activity is likely attributed to a slow moving transient combined with the effects from a corotating interaction region ahead of the expected recurrent CH HSS. .Forecast... Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at major storm levels to begin the current forecast period, but decrease to unsettled to active levels by the end of day 1 (29 Jun). Activity should remain at unsettled levels with minor storm conditions expected on day 2 (30 Jun) due to effects associated with a 5-degree filament that erupted during 28/0129 - 0250 UTC time-frame. This activity should be short lived and conditions should begin a steady decline back to quiet to unsettled levels by midday on day three (1 Jul). 24-hour Magnetopause Simulation: [link to iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080] GOES Magnetometer: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] Maybe they should get out their protractors and figure out where earth is in relation to the change in position of Stereo A and B. My understanding is they are both, now more or less "behind" the sun. This would help them understand that these cme's ARE earth directed. Spread the word, change the collective conscious......

To me, in a sense, everything travels in parallel to something in space, right? Hi everyone!!! I read the article too. I always go back to...as above so below...currents....water currents, wind currents, jet streams,(black holes are like whirlpools) and tides. I really believe in my heart all these things are part of the puzzle. I don't understand the thought of a chaotic universe, when the galaxies move like hurricanes(with an eye) and solar systems do the same with the sun as the eye within the galazy. The galaxies are floating on a universal sea that coud very well ebb and flow. This can be impacted by wind and waves that cause surges perhaps from from grb's, explosions and other curiosities we have yet to discover. On a heavier note...I think S0 news and the refresher on the behavior of the planets is jarring. Love & Light... |
