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

As far as I know, a sunspot releases a flare and sometimes the flare has a CME, since when does a sunspot “launch a solar storm” ??? Was there a flare? Was there a cme? The sunspot itself did not flare however it has caused the region around it to become so destabilized , the massive black spot is known as a 'Coronal Hole' Such is when a region of the sun's field becomes weakened and allows much more solar winds through than normal. So much that it's like we're having a solar storm but there hasn't been a flare. Which is going to make a real flare , all that much more worse. I see, thank you.

As far as I know, a sunspot releases a flare and sometimes the flare has a CME, since when does a sunspot “launch a solar storm” ??? Was there a flare? Was there a cme? I've heard her use that phrasing on filament eruptions in the past. But I think she was referring to this. IS THIS SUNSPOT CRACKING UP? Yesterday, Italian astronomer Alessandro Bianconi pointed his solar telescope at sunspot AR2776. The active region appears to be cracking up. A bright canyon of light--also known as a "light bridge"--is opening in the sunspot's primary core: [link to spaceweathergallery.com (secure)] The bridge is about 5,000 miles long, roughly equal to the diameter of Mars. These dimensions make it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. The nature of light bridges is not fully understood. Some research suggests that magnetic fields at the base of a light bridge are busy cross-crossing and reconnecting--the same explosive process that sparks solar flares. Does this mean the primary core of AR2776 will explode--or quietly fall apart? More often than not, light bridges herald the breakup of a sunspot. Either way, something is about to happen. [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] I guess it exploded :) Anybody confirm it exploded? Was at the office all day. Spread the word, change the collective conscious......

Where did all the red auroras come from? For much of mid-October, Earth's magnetic field has been very quiet. Extremely quiet. There should have been no auroras at all, yet around the Arctic Circle, photographers recorded scenes like this: [imgur] [link to i.imgur.com (secure)] "It appeared white to the naked eye, but on the camera it was vivid pink," says Varik. [imgur] [link to i.imgur.com (secure)] The common denominator seems to be ... quiet. "It seems that the red was most apparent during the lowest geomagnetic activity--that is, when Bz was positive and the solar wind speed was slow (at or below 300 km/s)," notes Elzein. "The solar wind was also dense, with proton densities above 15 p/cm3." It's a mystery. Aurora experts with bright (red) ideas may submit their explanations. [link to spaceweather.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76938097 France 10/24/2020 06:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whats really interesting is that there is 8 hours missing from the loop starting at 10/23 - 14:36 , some sort of glitch then the next frame , the time is suddenly at 22:30. Also there is Mercury (I think) or stereo A that is coming from right to left just before that frame at 14:36 - if you look at how it is progressing up to that point , it should have been moved 8 hours later - but instead it appears in the same spot. Glitch in the Matrix. It doesn't show up in any of the feeds except the SUVI hourly which shows the giant explosion occur for the few frames it captured.
