google "june 7 2011 CME" to see one of the largest blasts of mass ever witnessed on the sun
and it came from a small M flare

this is why i want to bang my head when there is a big CME from lets say a small M flare, and you see so many running around saying "wake me up when its a X20 or higher"
i would almost put money on the new age carrington not even coming from a very large solar flare
i would say to watch those M flares that produce CMEs
 Quoting: NiNzrez


yeah, I agree... but what I find strange is that some M flares (mostly long duration) produce more powerful CMEs than X flares when by definition X flares release a lot more energy. How can the extra energy (like the one which happened yesterday at 3400 kn/s) in M flares be explained?
 Quoting: Nacht im Walde


Measuring different forms of energy- X-rays, ultra violet, protons, highly charged plasma. Not all energy visable in a solar blast leaves the solar surface, some of the plasma falls back into the Sun. Also, this might be a question of force(of the blast of the CME) vs energy output.
[link to missionscience.nasa.gov]
Sorry, my answer is not as good as I would like it ot be. The GOES X-ray flux graph shows x-ray energy in watts per square meter, it is only one way to measure what the Sun is doing.

Rare- as in 'how do you want your steak?'
 Quoting: SpiderJones


look at this
VERY FAST FARSIDE CME (UPDATED): On July 23rd, a coronal mass ejection (CME) blasted away from the sun with rare speed: 3400 km/s or 7.6 million mph. CMEs moving this fast occur only once every ~5 to 10 years. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the cloud's rapid departure from the sun:

now they are classifying this as a Rare or R
well there very own video would clearly put this as an ER or extremely rare.
they even state it only happens once every 5 to 10 year....that and the speed would clearly put it in the classification of ER
 Quoting: psyoptics


according to the speed class
any CME 3000 km/sec or faster is classed as a ER event-
Extremely Rare
i guess they want to avoid using that term ^^
 Quoting: NiNzrez


Tell you what Nin- the Sun is so hot here now, that I shudder when I think of the power and heat delivered in a huge CME- it's scary as hell!
 Quoting: SpiderJones


what state are you in?
im in Michigan
when i moved here in 2000 and up till 2 years ago, every summer my family and i would complain how there was barley ever any 80+ degree days in the summer
mostly in the mid to high 70s
we would always hope for at least 1 80+ degree day so we could go to the lake and not have cold waters
we would get maybe 1 weeks worth of 80+ degree days
and that would come around the 1st week in Aug
i dont even need to go into the fact that this is not the case this year, or talk about how hot it is
cause most of us here in the states are feeling it

i was just telling my daughter this morning that you know things are super bad, when its a 82 degree day (like it is here today) and im wearing a t shirt outside talking about how glad i am its cool enough to get some yard work done
i never thought i would be saying that about a 82 degree day
 Quoting: NiNzrez


Hey Nin-( and everyone) check this out- the Sun really is hotter! And this was published in 1998!

 Quoting: SpiderJones


Researchers once thought that sunspots were independent operators, but SDO has shown over and over again that widely-spaced sunspots can be linked. An eruption in one can set off an explosion in another, leading to a chain reaction that can spread around the circumference of the sun. The global eruption of August 2010 is a memorable example.

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
This all made me think of the Carrington Event. It was suppose to have hit the earth in 17 hours, so it was very fast moving also. No one knows how big the flare was, only a bunch of guesses of around X-50 to X-100. Those guesses are when people forget that a M-flare can let loose a huge CME.

Please correct me if I am wrong here, as I am not a scientist in any way, shape or form.

If a huge CME from say a M-8 flare, was heading to earth at the speeds of that rare speed event, could it have been the cause of the Carrington Event and not some huge X50+ flare? I know a lot have to be taken into consideration when talking about a solar event that could potentially kill the grid and nothing is ever simple, but just reading what you all are saying makes me wonder.

The last X-flare had a few worried about the grid, so we all know it doesn't have to be huge to be a problem.
 Quoting: whiteangel


my guess on the flare size from the carrington event is a small to mid sized M flare
flare size has nothing what so ever to do with the size of a CME
some of the largest CMEs seen did not even come from a X flare
and there can be CMEs without a flare ever happening at all

a flare size is something to take note on and watch
but when speaking of the carrington event, or another carrington event, we are speaking of a CME
it matters none at all what size the flare was that the carrington CME came from, cause it was the CME itself that did the damage
the carrington CME was large and fast


google "june 7 2011 CME" to see one of the largest blasts of mass ever witnessed on the sun
and it came from a small M flare

this is why i want to bang my head when there is a big CME from lets say a small M flare, and you see so many running around saying "wake me up when its a X20 or higher"
i would almost put money on the new age carrington not even coming from a very large solar flare
i would say to watch those M flares that produce CMEs
 Quoting: NiNzrez


I agree..the X's could be dangerous like a sudden, torrential storm that causes a flash flood and a tornado--extreme localized damage.

What has my mind singing is the general increase in x-ray levels in combination with an LDE style M-class like we just had recently.

X-ray levels already running high, couldn't a decent sized LDE (of any class really) be all that is required to push the atmosphere's ionization processes into a saturated or super-saturated state. Boil it over so to speak??

I am NOT saying that this is/has happened...the chemistry-from my self-taught perspective of it-suggests that this is feasible.

Any have the KNOW?? Please feel free to shoot me down if'n ya have a few links. The human animal seems to learn best from mistakes.

All of y'all kick ass, btw, thanks for an exciting(at times painfully exciting) and informative thread.

everyone take note on the region this CME came from?!
happens to be right around the same as 1515 or soon to be new 1530 as well as 1520
it also happens to be the same area that the record breaking Nox 2003 X flare, the largest X flare on record came from

thus why i personally watch this region of the solar disk so close
 Quoting: NiNzrez


Is that the 60 degree mark, possibly 70?

were you speaking about longitude 70 degrees? Looks like you are right.
 Quoting: SpiderJones


Thank you, that is what it looked like and yes longitude 70. We all pay more attention when it hits 60 long. but I have been noticing also 65-75 seems to be when it really gets active.

Look on this for the grid also [link to www.solarham.net]

Wanted to mention there was a 6.6 mag. quake in indonesia, interesting because there was a nice electron spike right over that area earlier today. Is this a sun related connection or is this a shear pressure release of electrons before the quake. Both have been present before moderate quakes. Food for thought!

Montana State University --- Coronal Mass Ejection Prediction Page
Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How much matter is contained in a typical CME ?
A: Typical values are 1 to 10 billion tons of material (1016 to 1017 grams), in the form of a large cloud of charged particles.

Q: How fast do the CMEs travel ?
A: A coronal mass ejection can make the 93-million-mile journey to Earth in just three to four days. This implies an average speed of about one million miles per hour.

Q: Do all CMEs affect the Earth ?
A: No. Because the Sun can eject matter in any direction, only some of the CMEs will actually be directed towards Earth. (See the next question regarding "CMEs" versus "halo CMEs".) But even among those CMEs which are Earth-directed, some will affect Earth more than others. The different qualities of a CME which can determine its "geo-effectiveness" include the amount of material ejected, the speed at which it travels, and the strength and direction of the magnetic field carried by the cloud of charged particles.

Q: What's the difference between a "CME" and a "Halo CME" ?
A: The difference is primarily a matter of perspective. Coronal mass ejection (CME) is the name given to an ejection of a large amount of matter from the Sun's outer atmosphere. These ejections typically comprise millions of tons of material in the form of charged particles, and can be seen because the material reflects sunlight. When one of these ejections is directed towards the Earth (or conversely, directly away from the Earth), it looks like a roughly circular "halo" surrounding the Sun. The "halo CMEs" then are those CMEs which are more likely to impact the Earth than those which are shot out at right angles to the Earth-Sun line.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How much matter is contained in a typical CME ?
A: Typical values are 1 to 10 billion tons of material (1016 to 1017 grams), in the form of a large cloud of charged particles.

Q: How fast do the CMEs travel ?
A: A coronal mass ejection can make the 93-million-mile journey to Earth in just three to four days. This implies an average speed of about one million miles per hour.

Q: Do all CMEs affect the Earth ?
A: No. Because the Sun can eject matter in any direction, only some of the CMEs will actually be directed towards Earth. (See the next question regarding "CMEs" versus "halo CMEs".) But even among those CMEs which are Earth-directed, some will affect Earth more than others. The different qualities of a CME which can determine its "geo-effectiveness" include the amount of material ejected, the speed at which it travels, and the strength and direction of the magnetic field carried by the cloud of charged particles.

Q: What's the difference between a "CME" and a "Halo CME" ?
A: The difference is primarily a matter of perspective. Coronal mass ejection (CME) is the name given to an ejection of a large amount of matter from the Sun's outer atmosphere. These ejections typically comprise millions of tons of material in the form of charged particles, and can be seen because the material reflects sunlight. When one of these ejections is directed towards the Earth (or conversely, directly away from the Earth), it looks like a roughly circular "halo" surrounding the Sun. The "halo CMEs" then are those CMEs which are more likely to impact the Earth than those which are shot out at right angles to the Earth-Sun line.

Read the rest and found out about sigmoids!!!! Very interesting, I knew nothing of them prior to tonight, thanks for posting joinca

The other half of NASA's Living with a Star program, the Radiation Belt Storm Probes are scheduled to go up in roughly a month. Wonder how long it will take for public data...

Whilst I was reading about the RBSPs above, I stumbled across this:

[link to www.nasa.gov]

~ To distinguish between a host of theories developed over the years on plasma movement in those near-Earth environs, RBSP scientists have designed a suite of instruments to answer three broad questions. Where do the extra energy and particles come from? Where do they disappear to, and what sends them on their way? How do these changes affect the rest of Earth's magnetic environment, the magnetosphere? In addition to its broad range of instruments, the RBSP mission will make use of two spacecraft in order to better map out the full spatial dimensions of a particular event and how it changes over time. ~

Very interesting to me as info gained will kind of 'bring it home' to earth...a more 'tangible' connection as it were.

Be sure to watch the vid showing the effects of a large storm in 2003 on the radiation belts.

EDIT: I meant to say another part...not the other part. The LWS program has a lot of stuff going on.

From the SDO blog.... Tuesday, July 24, 2012
SDO Maneuvers this Week
Wednesday at 1930 UTC (3:30 pm ET, 12:30 pm PT) SDO will perform a Delta-H maneuver. This is designed to keep the fine-guidance system within limits by using a series of short burns on the thrusters.
Thursday we will do two more maneuvers.
Before, during, and after a maneuver SDO data may be unavailable.
