Sun Stuff: What's up!

[Wind]

What an headache of epic proportions... The aching is radiating from my neck to forehead and crown.

I just had to check all the electron levels. Makes me wonder if there will be quake activity.

[Fairy Friend]

Yep, a fair sized quake in Chile.

[Wind]

When I'm having weird (or painful) body sensations and electron levels out of the whack = earthquakes. That equation never fails!

[Fairy Friend]

Protons jumping a tad but Bz is trending north. I feel a bit nauseated and achey. And once again that Chile earthquake has been downgraded. No surprise there. I think there might be a slight uptick in energy and I would not be surprised to see a flare go off. It's building. Or a jump in quakes.

[Fairy Friend]

Something blew but not feeling like it's over. Doesn't look Earth directed. Looks like more than one active spot.

[Wind]

I have the same kind of feeling, I've been a bit restless. Anticipation... Thankfully painkillers killed the pain in the head and I don't like to take those unless the pulsating pain gets too intense like today. Last time I had a headache like this was a week ago and usually suffer from it very rarely, maybe only a few times during the year.

[Fairy Friend]

Indonesia just had a 6 (downgraded to 5.8) and things are definitely wobbly.

[Wind]

Confirmation after confirmation... Why is this activity only getting more intense as time passes?
I wonder if it has something to do with the magnetic field which is linked to our personal magnetic fields...

[Fairy Friend]

Herve has a post on energy vampirism that actually may relate. But you have to throw the Sun and the earth and the moon and Electric Universe thinking into this as well. Interesting synchronicity and I am still trying to figure some of these things out myself.

[Fairy Friend]

Electrons hitting the floor again. Edit on: Bz is tending more southward.

[Rocky_Shorz]

I think they are related to the huge flares popping on backside, it is drawing away our normal energy levels, like a wave on a beach, drawing back before rushing back in with the next wave.

we're in the sucking point, I noticed was close to the 2 quakes...

[Fairy Friend]

Suspiciousobservers mentioned a couple of filament eruptions, on the backside, one of them had to been pretty spectacular for us to see it showing up on the underside of the Sun. Lasco stopped updating a while ago and I think geos X-ray flux is also lagging here and there.

[Wind]

Now that the electrons are returning to normal levels, I'm feeling somewhat fine again. Earlier today and yesterday I was in agony...

[Fairy Friend]

Some cosmic rays coming in.

[Wind]

Well done, see how it looks now after they tampered with the data.

News RE: Cosmic Rays from spaceweather.com:

FORBUSH DECREASE: For the second time in two weeks, a Forbush Decrease is underway. In other words, the number of cosmic rays around Earth is down. Note the sudden drop in counts on April 1st in these data from the neutron monitor in Oulu, Finland:



Forbush decreases happen when CMEs sweep past Earth and push aside cosmic rays that normally surround our planet. A CME that hit Earth on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, triggered the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle. The corresponding Forbush Decrease lasted for days. The Forbush Decrease of April 1st probably won't be as deep or long-lasting. It was caused by a minor interplanetary shock wave that swept past Earth on March 31st; the shock wave's impact was weak and did not even spark a geomagnetic storm. Nevertheless, it did cause a reduction in cosmic rays.

To investigate the Forbush Decrease, later today Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus will launch a "Space Weather Buoy" (suborbital helium balloon) with 4 radiation sensors. We will see if radiation levels in the stratosphere are tracking the ground-based neutron monitor counts. The balloon flight will also probe the effect of the Forbush Decrease at aviation altitudes. Stay tuned.

First M class flare in awhile.

[Wind]

Didn't get any alert! Also yesterday I hoped for another flare and then we got that.

Cosmic rays on the rise again, they've been appearing in my (left eye's) vision again, yesterday I noticed the brown spots in my bananas. Any connection there?

Minor geomagnetic storm, the electrons took a dive. Kp index 5.

A new sunspot is coming 'round the bend... something to keep an eye on.

Here's what spaceweather.com mentions about it:

A NEW SUNSPOT EMERGES: A new and potentially significant sunspot is emerging over the sun's northeastern limb: image. Amateur astronomers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor the large active region as it turns toward Earth this weekend.



A large new sunspot is emerging over the sun's NE limb (circled).

Yesterday's SO report gets us caught up on recent days solar activity and mentions the condition of the Mag field (et al):
