    Default Sun Stuff: What's up!

    New thread to post info on the sun's activity.

    Old thread has been moved to Future Talk due to the nature of the OP RE: Boeing Whistleblower via Sickscent.

    I feel that we need this one here now.

    ¤=[Post Update]=¤

    After three days of hot sun activity, we have had an X-class sun flare tonight and it is Earth bound:

    According to this simulation, the CME will just be glancing Earth around the 10th...




    Similar data from SpaceWeather,com:

    EARTH-DIRECTED FLARE: This morning at 0150 UT, sunspot 1283 produced an M5.3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation:
    Because of the sunspot's central location on the solar disk, the eruption was Earth-directed--but is a CME heading our way? Around the time of the explosion, a number of plasma clouds were already billowing away from the sun, adding an element of confusion to the analysis. Tentatively, we expect Earth's magnetic field to receive a glancing blow from a CME on Sept. 8th or 9th. Stay tuned for updates.

    SolarSoft says the M5 earlier today and the X2 a few hours ago are Earth bound.

    We shall see what happens.

    News from Spaceweather.com:

    Quote X-FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have detected an X2-class solar flare from sunspot 1283. The explosion, which occured at 2220 UT on Sept. 6th, appears to have hurled a CME toward Earth. This is the second time today that sunspot 1283 has propelled a plasma cloud in our general direction (see also "Earth-directed Flare," below). Stay tuned for estimates of their arrival times.

    Quote Product: Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
    :Issued: 2011 Sep 06 2200 UTC
    # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
    # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.
    #
    Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
    SDF Number 249 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Sep 2011

    IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05/2100Z
    to 06/2100Z: Solar activity increased to high levels. Region 1283
    (N14W18) produced an M5/1b flare at 06/0150Z associated with Types

    II and IV radio sweeps and an Earth-directed full-halo CME. The CME
    had an estimated speed of around 450 km/sec, based upon STEREO-A
    COR2 data, with the bulk of the ejecta directed north of the
    ecliptic plane. Region 1283 appeared to develop a magnetic delta
    configuration in its north-central portion and was classified as an
    Eai-type with a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration. Old Region
    1286 (N20, L = 310) produced multiple CMEs from beyond the west
    limb, none of which were Earth-directed. New Region 1289 (N24E78)
    was numbered.

    IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be
    moderate during the period (07 - 09 September) with more M-class
    flare activity likely from Region 1283.

    IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05/2100Z to 06/2100Z:
    Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet levels. Proton flux
    enhancements at greater than 100 MeV and greater than 10 MeV began
    around 06/0300Z at geosynchronous orbit in the wake of the M5 flare
    mentioned above.

    IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: Geomagnetic field activity is
    expected to be at mostly quiet levels through the period (07 - 09
    September). The halo-CME mentioned above is not expected to affect
    the field during the forecast period.

    III. Event Probabilities 07 Sep-09 Sep
