Nip's solar/quake thread

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]


scroll down to the PIC from Texas, where it says. The planet Venus passes in front of the sun as it begins to set behind the Goddess of Liberty atop the Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas, left,

That is the closest to where I saw Star Ship Venus from my point of view. (I used my double set of dark glasses to watch. I have a very DARK pair on sunglasses I found in the street one day, and then I put the dark glasses from my eye surgeries (cataract surgery), over them, this allows me to watch the sun even at midday.

I saw it yesterday just a few mintues before I posted above at 7:07 PM

Thank you for the link.

Amazing pictures. It was to cloudy where I live, so unfortunately the transit could not be watched.

today usgs is leaving off the aftershocks from the greece quake that are 4+ there are several plus a bunch of smaller ones.

Just checking to make sure you are safe from the CO fires! Glad to see you're here!

oh yea, I don't live up that way, they are up towards Ft collins and I an in north metro denver. I would love to live in Ft Collins in a way,, college towns are "nice" and I did live there long ago when I first married.

Is it anywhere near Blackhawk, CO? Have a friend that lives there, maybe I should call him!

no north and east of there. smoke is going across into wyoming and north east colorado too.

Okay, thanks!

Reading Q's thread, something coming in.

Well the something that came in is small. [link to wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

[link to wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp] well the somethng above got a 2nd bumb that was bigger on the ingress. lasted about 10 hours, you can click back one day.

One thing that is confusing me, is that at this site above and also on Haarp, we are seeing MORE ingress, but with smaller BZ drops than before.

there is a pretty good sized CME on Stereo A and B today that may be earth directed, it appeared there about 14 utc.


I just checked space weather to see if its mentioned yet. It is.

ANOTHER CME: On June 14th, for the second day in a row, sunspot AR1504 erupted and hurled a CME toward Earth. The fast-moving (1360 km/s) cloud is expected to hit our planet's magnetic field on June 16th at 14:00 UT, possibly sparking a geomagnetic storm. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Magnetic storm alerts: text, voice.

2 LDEs are going to hit between the 16th and 18th, the last one more direct. Theres going to be alot of energy from these two. Can you imagine an lde like these last two in the mid X range, long duration saturation with huge plasma envelope,hello Mr. Carrington

the two LDE's already HIT. As evidenced here: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] and here: [link to www.n3kl.org]

Do NOT confuse the LDE's or any other "flare" with the CME that may have come from them. it is the CMEs that will arrive. And during the long MIN we had some massive CMES that came from exactly NO flares.

the two LDE's already HIT. As evidenced here: [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] and here: [link to www.n3kl.org] They are OVER.

Do NOT confuse the LDE's or any other "flare" with the CME that may have come from them. it is the CMEs that will arrive. And during the long MIN we had some massive CMES that came from exactly NO flares.

We have had x flares, LDE or not with SMALL CME's or NONE ejected. CMES often do accompany flares, but not always and we get massive CME's that have NO flare in their origin.

there were two quakes in canada.

[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] well the CMEstarted coming in 9+UTC

well a fairly good CME I think. protons to about 33, but the neg bz is not remarkable. Haarp shows small evidence of ingress, [link to www.haarp.alaska.edu]

ae index is boring. [link to wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

Pressure currently 8.5 nPa [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Supposedly the kp is 6 and this is a g2 storm. I think thats a little over rated, because of only slightly -bz on ace at times and right now the bz is quite positive, around 10.

Neutron monitors showing good dip.
[link to neutronm.bartol.udel.edu]

D rap is pretty good, [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

elevated proton flux [link to www.n3kl.org] causing d rap. This is interesting because this is not common during cmes yet there are no significant x ray flux [link to www.n3kl.org]

Rather LARGE change on the GOES magnetometers. [link to www.n3kl.org]

expected "electron suppression" with the storm. [link to www.n3kl.org]

Strange on this proton flux though, ODD Hmmm, well I don't know what's up, becausethere is NOT much ingress with this storm. As seen on ACE for24 hours, the bz is not very low. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Right now, if we still had NICT, you would see the magnetosphere image, those red and blue lines, all rolled up in a ball because the bz is high. I can tell this from the current BATS R US images.

[link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov]

Without Nict, I have to use this [link to iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080] and I don't see a big magnetic reconnection on the dark side of earth.

Odd storm

I just realized the bz went up to 40 or so. really strange storm.

Hey Candace~~~have you seen this site?

[link to www.sam-magnetometer.net]

Not that I really understand any of it, I look anyway.

Is your site back up yet?

well yesterdays CME was 2 distinct CME's, rather than a combination of 2 cme's as Nasa suggested. The 2nd one hit far more, regards the bz dropping out.


[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] This shows bz dropping to -20.

Showing good on haarp too. [link to www.haarp.alaska.edu]

And the AE index. ttp://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ae_realtime/today/today.html

On the proton flux that went up yesterday, I still have no understanding why, since there is no x ray flux flare recorded, until there was one that didn't register on the instruments because of confusion with other stuff. [link to www.n3kl.org] see proton flux there. and NO flares on the x ray flux.

we are seeing the expected increase in quakes with the CME's that arrived.

well since 0 utc of June 18 we got another ingressing something.
[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

[link to www.haarp.alaska.edu]

The coronal hole has apparently arrived with typical protons count above 10, but not huge, and the incoming increase of wind, about to 650 now based on eyeballing ACE. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Episode of -10 bz or so, not a large ingressor at this point, medium. [link to wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp]

[link to www.haarp.alaska.edu]

Should be interesting the next couple of days,

Pretty cold here in Melbourne, went into the city today and the yarra river is quite high indeed, hopefully it washes the casino away just kidding!

Some very icy rain bands this weekend, clouds a deep blue and efinately carrying what could have been hail, very cool indeed.

Currently monitoring all news for Syria, seems like some kind of bs going to start soon, seeing the jet wreckage looked like a crock of shit also......

Night,

Brendan.....

SOHO, Stereo, SDO etc all back up

Your a retard

duh!!! everybody here got all upset yesterday when they went down because of the power outtage. Many assumed a conspiracy, other aghast that Nasa chose not to spend the spare backup power on broadcasting the sites. It does seem on first look there is no missing data. Just making a note is all.

Trinity has the sunscope up right now!

[link to observatory.godlikeproductions.com]

thankyou and currently with a nice view of the clouds.

edit well somebody there now found the sun

El Q operating it now, he;s trying to zoom in on that sunspot!
