Sun Stuff: What's up!

[Fairy Friend]

There was a very small pop a little bit ago but it seems very very quiet on the Sun. It is the fourth of July so fireworks are in order. I am still pondering the thought that Earth kills sunspots. Wow. Unfortunately, my grandson had me up until 5 o'clock in the morning and my eyes are not wide open today.

We are missing data again.

Yes, you if you watched the Suspicious0bservers video, in the 1600's the Maunder couple did observed how Earth indeed did "kill" the sunspots. It is a fascinating observation and it's implications could be huge. I don't know why they have been deleting the cosmic ray data again, but I have not seen anything with my eyes. Look how weak the Sun has been even though the sunspots have been holding a huge power. Earth has an detrimental effect on them.

The flaring has started after a deep phase of silence! M6.5, quite close to an X-class flare. There could be more flares soon.

Solarham:

"Expanding region 2113 located in the northeast quadrant just produced an M6.5 solar flare at 16:20 UTC Tuesday. The event was associated with a Type IV radio emission. Additional imagery by SDO suggests a large quantity of plasma was flung into space, but is likely directed away from our planet. More updates to follow once coronagraph imagery becomes available.

Solar Flare Risk
M-Class: 70%
X-Class: 15%

This cosmic ray data chart was empty earlier today and during the last week. They are doing horribly poor job at editing and hiding the data, at least try not to insult our intelligence with such a sloppy job. Even a baby could understand what they are doing, same thing with horribly. I get highly annoyed when the truth is being hidden.

Now the wild cosmic ray readings are showing again. Sometimes those balls have been so large that they have filled the whole graph, I mean incredibly massive readings.

I had a blue flash in my eye with this one. And my eyes were open.

Haven't seen any of those yet, impossible not to notice them.

I have been having odd flashes of light. I wonder if it is similar to what you guys are experiencing. What I see is white, and resembles a small "ball" of light passing by my eyes. SOmetimes it just looks like a small line, like a straight line about an inch long passing the lower edge of my vision. Very hard to describe. I don't know if it is related, because I haven't paid that much attention. Has been going on for about 6 months .

[Wind]

Yeah, it's like a flashing orb with blue and red colour. I see "normal" orbs too, but it's not the same thing, they're not flashing. The same thing applies all of to these things, I see them with my peripheral vision. Aura's too. It has something to do with the fact how the retina registers different wavelengths of light.

[Sidney]

I can see orbs too, with the naked eye. No one else in my family can except for my one of my nieces . When they were staying with me at my former haunted house, her and I were the only ones that could see them. Although at my current house, I have only seen them with the aid of the camera.

My goodness another little pop.

Electrons started to take a dive, let's see if it's only temporal.

News from spaceweather.com:

SOLAR FLARE ERUPTS FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCE: Yesterday, July 8th, Earth-orbiting satellites detected a strong M6-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:



X-ray and UV radiation from the flare sent waves of ionization coursing through Earth's upper atmosphere. This briefly disturbed the propagation of shortwave radio transmissions around the dayside of our planet, especially over Europe and North America. Conditions have since returned to normal.

The flare came as little surprise. A phalanx of large sunspots is crossing the solar disk, and forecasters have been predicting an explosion for more than a week. However, the source of the flare was unexpected. It came from a minor and seemingly harmless sunspot named AR2113. Appearances notwithstanding, AR2113 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares.

With this flare, AR2113 joins two other sunspots capable of potent activity: AR2108 and AR2109. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-flares and a 20% chance of X-flares on July 9th.

Here are where the 2 M-flares originated from, sunspot 2113:

# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A M6.5 flare, peaking at 16:20 UT on July 8, was detected originating from
Catania region 16 (NOAA AR 2113). The M-flare was associated with dimming,
type II and IV radio bursts and a partial halo CME. The CME was first seen
in the SOHO/LASCO C2 field of view at 16:36 UT, had the angular width of
126 degrees and the projected plane of
the sky speed of 466 km/s (as reported by the CACTus software). The bulk of
the CME
mass was ejected east from the Sun-Earth line. The arrival of the glancing
blow
from the CME-driven shock wave is possible in the evening of July 11.

We can expect a minor solar storm and increased Kp index as the solar wind from a small coronal hole reaches Earth on July 9-10.

earth facing flare popping off now, add this to a wave brushing us on the 12 and we could feel an impact...

Solarham: Prominence Eruption

"A prominence eruption was observed Thursday morning off the western limb and it generated a bright, westerly directed coronal mass ejection (CME). Although the CME is significant, it should have little to no impact on our geomagnetic field. Imagery by SDO and LASCO."

Just look how the plasma left from the Sun, amazing. Those filaments are like large tentacles or whips, if I'm right they're hundreds of thousands miles long. Many Earth's could fit there. After the electrons took a dive, they've been rising since. Don't know about you, but I've been feeling a little restless and anxious today. Could be the hot weather tough.

[Sidney]

WOW, YES I am feeling it too.

I have felt like CRAP all day myself. So so so tired. Can barely stay awake on the job. Terrible headache, achey joints. The whole nine. Also, my tinnitus is worse, and I am getting these static sounds.

[Fairy Friend]

Another little pop. I am not feeling to bad myself but when those electrons dive I know people feel it.

M1.5 flare.
