A BIG ONE ON THE WAY

bro, I feel for you man, You have no actual argument, So I told you keyboards are cheap, and that I heed Ops warning...
But according to you, OP has no warning, when, infact, OP himself said, Yes it is a warning....

Do you have asbergers?

Thanks for all the time and energy you've put into this thread to keep people informed. It was incredibly interesting to follow (until the recent trolling anyway).

So you know, I personally never thought there was doom - just a big CME, so from a third party point of view I didn't feel misled. I think it was made clear in the beginning that it wasn't "THE" big one, at least I never thought it was. Just like a "big storm" doesn't mean a Cat 5 hurricane - and it's interesting to watch and see it play out.

Anyway, just wanted to thank you Snakebite, Shad and everyone else keeping us in the loop.

Snakebite~ it's ok. Apparently he can't comprehend exactly what you are typing. & please don't get a new keyboard, I rather like your style of typing. Plus, I always know it's you! Ok, back to topic now.

Come o0n guys ..

Nothing unusual ..

Only some CME but nothing to worry, CME was medium-strong nothing else ..

Have fun on you electronic devices and computers. In two days we will all be living in the Stone Age.

He also needs to realize that these storms themselves may be a catalyst and not always the 'main' problem. When you have an already full particle filled ionosphere, these nucleii love to interact and create secondary radiation. I'm just providing info, and I didn't say it was THE big one, just a big filament liftoff. Insecurity in beliefs make people lash out. I'm not saying anything about jet particle doom , nibiru, or alien invasion. We had a large filament liftoff that can cause problems as our magnetosphere is puny!

I find it so funny that everyone else on this site can claim doom or false prediction dates for everything under the sun but we can't discuss a huge incoming CME.

As for Tbar, I can't wait to give you a negative tomorrow when this hits. I ask that everyone else do the same.

He is spewing the same shit over in the main solar thread! Come on, those people over in that thread watch these models everyday and know what they are doing!!

Howdy, OP

Both STEREO A & B missed imaging this Earth-directed CME due to huge data gaps. Here's the closest (time-wise) image taken by STEREO Behind about 3 hours after liftoff. Original image here:

Impressive

Finally spaceweather.com says something about the Large CME heading our way.


INCOMING SOLAR STORM CLOUD: Magnetic fields around sunspot 1577 erupted on Sept. 28th, hurling a coronal mass ejection (CME) almost directly toward Earth. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) recorded the cloud as it raced away from the sun faster than 2.2 million mph:

NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of strong geomagnetic storms around the poles on Sept 30th when the cloud reaches Earth. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, which might be intense enough to see in spite of the full moonlight

T-BAR usually has correct info but in this case he's wrong, wrong, WRONG. STEREO A had a looong data gap last night (ditto for STEREO B) and missed the CME that occurred at 23:36utc. The far-side CME happened way earlier around 10 or 11 utc on the 27th. I think he's been reading Spaceweather.com too much, we usually beat them to the info here at SOLAR WATCH.

Also, I posted all of the pertinent data and movies I could find first thing this morning (pages 1588-89). Anyone taking the time to read up before posting wouldn't be so confused. I'll repost the SIDC comment from this morning ---

COMMENT: A C3.7 flare occurred in the vicinity of NOAA AR 1577 on Sept.
27, 2336 UT (peak time). It triggered both a weak proton event (>10 Mev
protons) whose level is near the threshold of 10 pfu at the moment, and
a fully developed halo CME as observed with LASCO C2 data. The expansion
speed estimated from this instrument ranges from about 700 to 1000 km/s.
At the moment, only partial observations of the CME are available from
the COR2 instruments onboard STEREO, allowing only a crude speed
estimate of about 1300 km/s. On-disk signatures of a coronal EUV waves
extending to the East of the region, nearly up to the central meridian,
together with the halo nature of the CME, suggest this event will be
geoeffective with a risk for minor storm conditions or greater by midday
on Sept. 29.

Why the confusion? The proton event coincided with the earth-facing CME as we noted late last night. The other backside blast was 13 hours before. Shheesh.
