Sun Stuff: What's up!

[MorningSong]

If you all haven't noticed, sunspot formation is at a low, yet CME's keep on a'coming by way of filament lift-offs.

Here is the latest from spaceweather.com:

CHANCE OF MAGNETIC STORMS: NOAA forecasters estimate a ~30% chance of geomagnetic storms around the poles on April 9th. That's when a CME is expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field. The cloud was propelled in our direction by a solar filament erupting on April 5th (movie). High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

MERCURY-DIRECTED ERUPTION: For the past few days, magnetic filaments have been rising and snapping all around the sun. The latest eruption occured during the late hours of April 7th, shown here in an extreme UV video from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:



The eruption hurled a CME into space. According to a forecast track prepared by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the cloud will not hit Earth, but it will hit Mercury on April 9th around 02:29 UT (+/- 7 hours). Mercury's planetary magnetic field is only ~10% as strong as Earth's, so Mercury is not well protected from CMEs. When the clouds hit, they can actually scour atoms off Mercury's surface, adding material to Mercury's super-thin atmosphere and comet-like tail.

I was wondering when all of those filaments would start letting go....

I guess I didn't realize that filaments can be as costly as sun spots. Learn something new every day. Thanks for that. : )

mental note to self, filament energy seems to cause much bigger quakes than CMEs...

8.6 quakes in Jakarta, 6.9 in Baja Mexico and on the same fault-line, a 5.9 by Oregon with Cali in the center...

the chemtrail clouds do have their advantages reflecting off the energy from population centers...

opened a worldwide event map, forgot the volcanoes...

Event map

explosion at GM technology plant?

oilmen didn't like the perpetual project?

Hey Rocky!

Very Goiod Point!

Can you explain?

.. and volcanoes galore! And then more "hmmmmm"....

[Sidney]

Have you seen this????? This is (part of) what was missing from the footage, as mentioned in this thread that I started yesterday.

[MorningSong]

WOW! I'm gonna have to investigate.....

[Sidney]

Yes, looks like they forgot to edit that one out. LOL

Looks to me like its not earth directed, but if it would have been, we would be seriously hosed.

[Sidney]

If you go here and stop the time stamp at 23:06 on the 11th, the same image is there but flipped upside down. Note this is a different timestamp than the 22:38 that is here. Also note, that the 2 images should match up, which they clearly do not.

I did just notice that when you stop it at 22:38 it is there and matches with each other. not sure whats going on.

The above discussion is continuing over at starchild111's thread....

In the Meanwhile here's what spaceweather.com has to say about sunspot 1455:

GROWING SUNSPOT: Almost directly facing Earth, sunspot AR1455 is growing rapidly. "This active region is becoming more interesting by the day and forms a nice group of sunspots now," says amateur astronomer Dennis Put who send this snapshot from Brielle, the Netherlands:



The picture, which he took using an H-alpha telescope tuned to the red glow of solar hydrogen, captures the maelstrom of hot plasma and magnetism swirling atop the sunspot group's underlying dark cores. If the region continues to grow it could soon become a source of C-class solar flares.

Today we had a bit of Solar Storm activity with the Kp-index reacing level 5, supposedly caused by incoming solar wind from a coronal hole from a few days ago...this one, I guess:



On April 10, spaceweather had this under the above pict:

Solar wind flowing from this coronal hole should reach Earth on April 13-14

they had been painting the skies for the last week letting it settle into clouds drifting over California which reflects back like a mirror...

a filament is a burst of Magnetism, maybe they don't reflect like the regular inbound energy...

did you see Obama just set up a committee on fracking and effects it is having...

From Spaceweather:

"Magnetic fields on the sun's northeastern limb erupted around
17:45 UT on April 16th, producing one of the most visually-spectacular
explosions in years. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded
the blast at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths":

Black Panther is the explosion from 16 April coming our way?

Black Panther is the explosion from 16 April coming our way?

Had to look it up

From Spaceweather:

"The explosion, which registered M1.7 on the Richter Scale of solar flares, was not
Earth-directed, but it did hurl a CME into space. Analysts at the Goddard Space
Weather Lab have analyzed the trajectory of the cloud and found that it will hit
NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft, the Spitzer space telescope, and the rover Curiosity
en route to Mars. Planets Venus and Mars could also receive a glancing blow."

The Oracle Laura from oraclereport.com says:

"The energy in and of itself is intense today, but we have the added extreme
plasmic effects of "magnetic fields on the Sun erupting around 17:45 UT on April 16,
producing one of the most spectacular explosions in years" (NASA)"

So even though the flares aren't Earth-directed, a lot of intense energy today!

Things are heating up for sure. Thank you so much for posting this panther. WOw, gonna get my tin hat now.

[MorningSong]

Something funny/weird about that M-flare..... SolarMonitor.org/SolarSoft says there were 2 flares....one starting at 17:24 UTC, peaking at 17:40 UTC and stopping at 18:00 UTC. And the second????

Yet, this pict is up and could be the second one...but there is no data anywhere......duh?!

[Sidney]

I have gone over to the Lasco 2 and 3 and watched the movies of the last couple days, and one thing I have come to know for certain, when events happen, data disappears. When you watch the lasco 2 movies, the normal speed of the "step" as they are called, every 12 minutes. 00,12,24,36,48,00 etc.etc. Well, when S*** starts to fly, some of that data disappears. the steps will go for example, 00,12,24, then it will jump and next thing you know there are several chuncks of minutes and hours of data missing. This goes for lasco 3 as well. You can slow down and spped up, or stop and step individual frames on those movies, and it has become so TRANSPARENT that they are f*****g with the data. And digitally blocking out certain "artifacts". I don't know what is going on up there, but I have a feeling that some of these flares,cmes...etc., are not 100% naturally occurring.

[MorningSong]

Solar activity is once again heating up!

An active region not classified as a sunspot fired off a C8 flare today, just skirting the M level. It is located near sunspot 1462 so the CME will impact Earth. Stay tuned!



At the time, we have 9 sunspots present on the Earth-facing side of the Sun. Two are well on their way onto the far-side, while sunspot 1460, which just formed in the past 24 hours, is growing.

From spaceweather.com:

GROWING SUNSPOT: What a difference a day makes. On April 16th, sunspot AR1460 did not exist. Twenty-four hours later it was twice as big as the planet Earth. This April 17th movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows sunspot genesis in action:



The sunspot's magnetic field is still too simple for strong flares, but if the expansion continues apace, instabilities could develop that lead to explosions. Readers with solar telescopes should keep an eye on AR1460.

Yet, watch out for sunspot 1461 which has been blasting quite a few B and C-flares as well as Monday's M-flare the whole time it was turning onto the Earth-facing side!

I can tell you, they have been chemtrailing the s**it out of southern illinois today.
