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

HUGH.... have the best birthday ever my friend!!!!
im so glad that we have you here with us on this journey :)

That's really awesome!!! I have couple Mason friends.

The calm before the solar storm? NASA warns ‘something unexpected is happening on the Sun’

Posted on March 9, 2013by The Extinction Protocol

The year 2013 was supposed to be the year of the solar maximum, but the sun has grown strangely quiet.

March 9, 2013 – SPACE - ‘Something unexpected’ is happening on the Sun, NASA has warned. This year was supposed to be the year of ‘solar maximum,’ the peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle. But as the pictures (below) reveals, solar activity is relatively low. ‘Sunspot numbers are well below their values from 2011, and strong solar flares have been infrequent,’ the space agency says. The image below shows the Earth-facing surface of the Sun on February 28, 2013, as observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. It observed just a few small sunspots on an otherwise clean face, which is usually riddled with many spots during peak solar activity. Experts have been baffled by the apparent lack of activity – with many wondering if NASA simply got it wrong. However, solar physicist Dean Pesnell of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center believes he has a different explanation. ‘This is solar maximum,’ he says. “But it looks different from what we expected because it is double-peaked. The last two solar maxima, around 1989 and 2001, had not one but two peaks.’ Solar activity went up, dipped, then rose again, performing a mini-cycle that lasted about two years, he said. –Daily Mail [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

NASA finds particle accelerator in solar winds

Posted on March 10, 2013by The Extinction Protocol

March 10, 2013 – SPACE - The solar wind is a hot and fast flow of magnetized gas that streams away from the sun’s upper atmosphere. It is made of hydrogen and helium ions with a sprinkling of heavier elements. Researchers liken it to the steam from a pot of water boiling on a stove; the sun is literally boiling itself away. “But,” says Adam Szabo of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, “solar wind does something that steam in your kitchen never does. As steam rises from a pot, it slows and cools. As solar wind leaves the sun, it accelerates, tripling in speed as it passes through the corona. Furthermore, something inside the solar wind continues to add heat even as it blows into the cold of space.” Finding that “something” has been a goal of researchers for decades. In the 1970s and 80s, observations by two German/US Helios spacecraft set the stage for early theories, which usually included some mixture of plasma instabilities, magnetohydrodynamic waves, and turbulent heating. Narrowing down the possibilities was a challenge. The answer, it turns out, has been hiding in a dataset from one of NASA’s oldest active spacecraft, a solar probe named Wind. “I think we found it,” he says. “The source of the heating in the solar wind is ion cyclotron waves.” Ion cyclotron waves are made of protons that circle in wavelike-rhythms around the sun’s magnetic field. According to a theory developed by Phil Isenberg (University of New Hampshire) and expanded by Vitaly Galinsky and Valentin Shevchenko (UC San Diego), ion cyclotron waves emanate from the sun; coursing through the solar wind, they heat the gas to millions of degrees and accelerate its flow to millions of miles per hour. Kasper’s findings confirm that ion cyclotron waves are indeed active, at least in the vicinity of Earth where the Wind probe operates. Ion cyclotron waves can do much more than heat and accelerate the solar wind, notes Kasper. “They also account for some of the wind’s very strange properties.” The solar wind is not like wind on Earth. Here on Earth, atmospheric winds carry nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor along together; all species move with the same speed and they have the same temperature. The solar wind, however, is much stranger. Chemical elements of the solar wind such as hydrogen, helium, and heavier ions, blow at different speeds; they have different temperatures; and, strangest of all, the temperatures change with direction. “We have long wondered why heavier elements in the solar wind move faster and have higher temperatures than the lighter elements,” says Kasper. “This is completely counterintuitive. The ion cyclotron theory explains it: Heavy ions resonate well with ion cyclotron waves. Compared to their lighter counterparts, they gain more energy and heat as they surf. An artist’s concept of Solar Probe Plus approaching the sun where it can test the ion cyclotron theory. More, the behavior of heavy ions in the solar wind is what intrigues fusion researchers. Kasper explains: “When you look at fusion reactors on Earth, one of the big challenges is contamination. Heavy ions that sputter off the metal walls of the fusion chamber get into the plasma where the fusion takes place. Heavy ions radiate heat. This can cool the plasma so much that it shuts down the fusion reaction.” Ion cyclotron waves of the type Kasper has found in the solar wind might provide a way to reverse this process. Theoretically, they could be used to heat and/or remove the heavy ions, restoring thermal balance to the fusing plasma. –NASA [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

Happy Birthday to you also Hugh. Pisces rock! Last year was so much fun and agreed now it is just boring!!!!

The 4 Pisces Presidents have been George Washington, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland. Just saying we are in good company.

Hey Sol Master Hugh, Hope you have a blast on your birthday.
Sun Blast that is, from one Pisces to another ‘’we are lovers not fighters’’
Much respect

Happy Birthday, Hugh !!

That heated region in the lower Corona above old region 1678(?)is still hot [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] North-East,just beyond the limb.

If there is a chance of anything,there she is.

Luv2uAll.

Anyone watchin this?

It's being hit by a wind alright but not from Sol

I was kinda thinking the same thing

Any idea where the wind is from?

Hello Da'

The 3rd Update prior to that [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] show what happens when the Bz is Southward and there is a Temporary spike in recorded Density.

Not wind per say.



This could be the reason for pretty much everything going on in our solar system and earth at the moment, or it could be nothing.

Time will tell.

That makes two of us : )

Hello SolBr0

Swamp gas wind?

OMG can you guys quit quoting the replies with that creepy masonic room LOL! Either that or just edit out the image code so we don't have to keep seeing it.

Hi ISIS!
Big but not felt much from what I gather. Tsunami??

WE got some Minor Flaring from a Non-Sunsot region just above 1687 on the North-West [link to halpha.nso.edu] [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] Not much,but there is not a Sunspot there?

One buoy in region active, but not by much (I think, if I'm reading right)

Had issues with bans lately.. hopefully can get back to participating!

Wow, I've been waiting and wondering what happened to old 1678's trailing spots. I couldn't believe it just withered away completely and left that big alpha eyeball spot alone. Well don't look now but it seems to be still huge and just coming over the limb now. So now I'm astounded that there's a 30+ degree gap between them! What the hell happened on the backside? It's like they're repelling each other. Next we'll see how NOAA responds once we get a better look-see at the magnetograms. It's almost impossible to see, but it's just cracking the limb-plane now.
:3/10-1692:

In the 171a images and other wavelengths the trailing region looks much more hot and active. I have a feeling this spot isn't quite finished acting up yet.

AR1692+trailing spot-

We also have new numbered regions........

Hello Hugh : )

Remember when 1678 formed?

Did 1678 not form just below and behind it and the leading spot above is old 1671 with trailing 1678!?

Or did 1671 die?

This has been befuddling me a little Today in between other tasks,can you help steer me SolStar2Hugh,please?

Hope you are fine and dandy this Tag.

Sorry,Corrected!

Hi Madge, we missed ya! Glad to see you back.
