did a HUGE filament just erupt from the sun??

He doesn't

Not to mention the 5 stars I gave and suggested pin...this should be pinned for further study

OP if I may ask how you picked up on this kind of out of the park information that 99.99 percent of the world doesn't know about? You watch hourly updated satellite images of the sun or something like wtf I'm so confused?

I swear I will keep this thread alive until we get atleast a half ass answer! All I have to do is make about 300 phone calls tomorrow but hey doom is more important

99.99% is being generous lol

OP has a much larger brain than you. You wouldn't understand
frostback

looking for answers now

LOL...I check the sun images often and the last time I checked I just noticed it

I think we're good

I don't think that has updated yet, That is from the previous CME. this one happened a very short time ago

So how fast do filaments fly?

Ok that .01 percent is for the 100 000 people that average this site daily, whether stumbling across it accidentally like me, or those who are completely glued to it. I had to say 99.99 aha.

Oh dang...never mind then! Doom back on for now

I have heard that a filament can cause just as much damage as a solar flare and I do believe they travel VERY fast

Google it you will get a pretty general understanding.

~900 miles per second.

If only DR ASTRO would come save the day

that looks weird!

We need some info on this. Pin possibly?

Yes that does look odd

Maybe just waiting on info and then we can pin away!

MODS please PIN

Explain what is being represented in these pictures please.

Of course, potential doom and America is asleep. 3:30 east coast ALOT of people are sleeping

Lets not get to excited just yet... Now where are those Suntards to tell us it's nothing!

LOL...the sun-tards will probably own us for this.
