    yesterday it passed heavy just north of Australia...

    Solomon Islands... 6.9

    Puero Rico just like this area have tons of small quakes to release the energy...



    notice the numberings on the earthquakes... pr11113001

    66 degrees...

    it struck me as strange too and then was knocked out so this image is the last...

    there were 2 M class Flares right in a row from the same sunspot, the active side of the sun is swinging towards us now...

    Yeah, I thought the sun seemed unusually bright yesterday..... Also the moon seems extra bright as well.....Even my wife (not usually the extra-obseervant type) is noticing

    Exciting times....

    The real thing is.. the flare is still active..
    i saw the last 100 pictures.. and there are more.. and its the same brightness.. I notice its not a paused imaged, because the celestial star map is rotating..

    What is happening? i never seen this before.

    @Rocky RE:"Citizen Scientists Making Incredible Discoveries" - I did see that mentioned on Spaceweather.com, but I did not follow the link at the time. I think that it is interesting that there are so many people volunteering to go through the images... "we" humans are truely waking up and are flocking to get a look on the "inside".... if "they" don't have the time, by golly, we'll take care of it, huh? (Too bad they can't pay to get it done, though. It'd be a great job, I think. Poor undergraduate who had to tackle all that data alone. I bet he/she did get burnt out after 50,0000 images.)

    @ Miguel and jcocks RE: Lasco3: If you go to the SOHO/Lasco site directly, you will see that that bright light is just not there anymore... don't ask me why, I don't know. Any ideas? http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/cgi-bi...mg.cgi?c3+gifs

    Hi Miguel,
    it is not an ongoing flare, even if it looks like that.
    It seems that the satellite camera has de-aligned itself, while compensating for the slow rotation of the satellite. There has been a gap of 8 hours between these two pics.
    Last pic before the rotation:



    and

    First pic after the rotation:




    Do you notice that the holder for the sun-blinder has rotated 180 degree?
    In the first pic it protrudes from the lower left corner, while in the second pic it comes down from the upper right corner.
    That shows you that the camera has rotated within these 8 hours and has somehow disaligned the blinder.
    This brightness has technical reasons and is not caused by a continuous flare; also you do not see activity on the C2 picures.

    Most likely it will be re-aligned during the next rotation.

    But its weird because the date on your picture is day 22.. and mine is 25.. and the star field is not the same, i saw the movie.. of 100 pics, with time changing and the flare is there..

    Another weird thing is..

    I posted the pic on 23 april with date=25?? how can that be 2 days difference??

    Earth is being impacted by Solar Wind from the current Coronal Hole since about 17:00 UT yesterday. High velocity of 750 km/sec has been reached in the past hour.

    See http://www2.nict.go.jp/y/y223/simulation/realtime/

    From Spaceweathr.com:

    Quote CORONAL HOLE: NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is monitoring a hole in the sun's atmosphere--a "coronal hole." It is the dark region circled in this extreme ultraviolet image taken during the early hours of April 28th:



    Coronal holes are places where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows the solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole is expected to reach Earth on April 30th-May 1st. NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of geomagnetic activity at that time.

    G'day All,

    I found this on the NASA science News website.
    Official NASA youtube video is below concerning the beginning of solar cycle 24 (2.5 minute duration).



    This is not 'news' to frequent viewers of this thread.
    What I found interesting was how the Maunder Minimum was carefully edited out of the solar cycle timeline graph displayed at 2:14. The graphical representation starts at date: 1750 CE, which is also the end of the 70 year Maunder Minimum as shown in the graph below also from NASA.



    This omission may have been co-incidence, accidental or due to the site being mainly aimed at a younger and/or non-science audience. I view it is important to observe and make note of these omissions (as I am doing with this post) as they assist in an altered perception of history as a linear (contiguous) progression rather than as a disparate (non-contiguous) one as well as allow for a basis of mistaken understandings within people who are unaware of them.

    Kind Regards,
    Panopticon

    Hmm..

    I have this strong feeling that the sun is supposed to feed us a certain type of energy and these chemical sprayings of dust metals is a poor and unhealthy attempt at blocking out the rays…or at least distort the inbound information. This is just my hunch after researching countless Egyptian artifacts and symbols. It seems the sun is getting brighter and hotter but it feels so energizing, the feeling is very hard to put into words, I especially notice the energy (or lack of) during the cloudy days when there is heavy cloud makers roaming the skies.

    Peace

    Here's what it was, guys,,,from Spaceweather.com:

    Quote SDO SEES MOUNTTAINS ON THE MOON: There was no eclipse on Earth, today, but there was one in Earth orbit. More than 22,000 miles above the planet's surface, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory watched the Moon pass almost directly in front of the sun:



    Look at the full-sized image and trace your finger around the Moon's limb. Thanks to the high resolution of SDO's 16 megapixel cameras, you can actually count jagged mountains backlit by the sun's atmosphere.

    Beyond the novelty of observing a such an event from space, these images have practical value to the SDO science team. Karel Schrijver of Lockheed-Martin's Solar and Astrophysics Lab explains: "The very sharp edge of the lunar limb allows us to measure the in-orbit characteristics of the telescope--e.g., light diffraction on optics and filter support grids. Once these are characterized, we can use that information to correct our data for instrumental effects and sharpen up the images to even more detail."
