SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily) | |
Simple27  User ID: 48123712  United States04/19/2017 05:55 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SPECTACULAR CME: Old sunspot AR2644 has returned--and it is still active. On April 18th at approximately 2000 UT, the sunspot's magnetic canopy exploded and hurled a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. This CME will probably miss Earth. The explosion's epicenter was too far off the Sun-Earth line for a direct hit. However, NOAA analysts are still evaluating the possibility of a glancing blow.

They have already fired off one near M-class flare and launched a non-Earth-directed solar storm. Amateur radio operators should expect possible radio blackouts on the dayside of Earth this week. GPS/GNSS operators should also expect issues near the dawn-dusk terminators. We also have 2 coronal holes sending us fast wind and that means storm conditions are great for aurora!

In 1993, monitoring by ground-based radar showed there to be around 8,000 manmade objects in orbit that were larger than 10 centimetres (4.5 inches) across, a size big enough to inflict catastrophic damage, said Holger Krag, in charge of ESA's space debris office. "Today, we find in space roughly 5,000 objects with sizes larger than 1 metre (3.25 feet), roughly 20,000 objects with sizes over 10 centimetres... and 750,000 'flying bullets' of around one centimetre (half an inch)," he said. "For objects larger than one millimetre (0.04 inch), 150 million is our model estimate for that."

In 2011, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope became the first Earth-based telescope to snap an image of the auroras on Uranus. In 2012 and 2014 a team led by an astronomer from Paris Observatory took a second look at the auroras using the ultraviolet capabilities of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) installed on Hubble. They tracked the interplanetary shocks caused by two powerful bursts of solar wind traveling from the sun to Uranus, then used Hubble to capture their effect on Uranus' auroras - and found themselves observing the most intense auroras ever seen on the planet. more here: [link to www.spacedaily.com]  The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object. ~ Thomas Jefferson, Inaugural Address, 1801 It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death.
