    Lightbulb "Geometry" (? !) in Solar Coronal Holes?

    Human's seeing things in clouds, or seeing things in pictures which may or may not be there is called,
    anthropomorphism -

    ref: http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/2013...phism-and.html - "seeing things.."

    "Under certain conditions, even 2D shapes can be interpreted as animate social agents rather than simple intention-less objects. "

    also:
    http://mikegreenimages.com/2011/07/0...dscape-images/

    "I’m convinced that people in general have a strong, subconscious tendency to seek to see images in human terms.."

    or possibly, Pareidolia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

    Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse. The "face on mars",

    DaVinci - "if you look at any walls spotted with various stains or with a mixture of different kinds of stones, if you are about to invent some scene you will be able to see in it a resemblance to various different landscapes adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, wide valleys, and various groups of hills. You will also be able to see divers combats and figures in quick movement, and strange expressions of faces, and outlandish costumes, and an infinite number of things which you can then reduce into separate and well conceived forms."

    The Creepiest Cloud images recorded - http://scribol.com/science/30-creepiest-clouds-on-earth






    "er, yup, they must be "sprayin" in that one.."

    So that brings us to the current Coronal Hole - the pattern which had started earlier in the month, started with geometry of some kind.. spherical holes, a line (well a long rectangle), a triangle, a square-ish hole, followed by the zig zag "aimed" precisely at Earth (all of which stream charged particles from the Sun out to space and anything in the way..

    It looks a lot like Cama Zotz, actually -- the Bat Signal lol

    Scary, Bob! Are people gettin' all excited?

    Made a chalk drawing 3 years or so ago, around this time of year -- was the Sun blasting earth w/ radiation/plasma, lol - and Cama Zotz watching it happen.
    Cousin said "that looks demonic".

    Beauty in the eye of the beholder etc.


    p.s. that's a very cool image of the Sun on the bottom, look how powerful it is -- the force -- how many nukes is that? @@



    Quote This is a discussion of a Maya bat god. For the candy by Ambrosoli, see “ZotZ (Candy)”. For a discussion of the fictitious planet, see “A Wrinkle in Time”.

    In Maya mythology, Camazotz (/kämäˈsots/) (alternate spellings Cama-Zotz, Sotz, Zotz) was a bat god. Camazotz means "death bat" in the K'iche' language. In Mesoamerica the bat was associated with night, death, and sacrifice.[1]


    In the Popol Vuh, Camazotz are the bat-like monsters encountered by the Maya Hero Twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque during their trials in the underworld of Xibalba. The twins had to spend the night in the House of Bats where they squeezed themselves into their own blowguns in order to defend themselves from the circling bats. Hunahpu stuck his head out of his blowgun to see if the sun had risen and Camazotz immediately snatched off his head and carried it to the ballcourt to be hung up as the ball to be used by the gods in their next ballgame.[3]

    The game between competing teams of players could symbolize the battles between the gods in the sky and the lords of the underworld. The ball could symbolize the sun. In some of these ritual games, the leader of the losing team would be decapitated, and His skull would then be used as the core around which a new rubber ball would be made. A common interpretation would emphasize the Venus cycle and the Maize God death-and-resurrection myth as core religious aspects of the game. The ancient Maya are believed to reenact, through the ball game, the mythic Underworld contest between the gods of life or fertility and the gods of death. This may have been an agriculture-related ritual or an apotheosis of the military conquest. Archaeologically, that two fold symbolism may be represented by the so-called ‘creation’ and "hux-’ahaal" or ‘three-conquest’ ball courts, such as the one in Naranjo.



    Bob I always wondered why these people were so sun-centric.
    did they remember something we forgot during an Ice Age?
    something about the sun

    The rectangle from yesterday has started to reform into S shaped curves lying on the side (from this view), with a small triangle - sorta like that zig zag of the 13th, but not so strongly, and definitely in the southern hemisphere, not vertical across the equator..

    There is no appreciable particle emission coming from that geometry earth facing.

    We are also in "solar max" for this current sunspot cycle. After June the levels of emissions should be decreasing until 2019.

    According to NASA there are no appreciable Earth Facing Coronal Holes at this time. The geometry since yesterday appears to be closing more-so than before, and some very small spots (darker areas) appear to be forming in the upper left quadrant.

    As to Solar activity for this predicted horrendous solar cycle, it has been a DUD according to NOAA researchers. (Nothing to see here..)

    SOLAR 'MINI-MAX': Last month at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, solar cycle expert Doug Biesecker of NOAA announced that "Solar Maximum is here, finally." According to his analysis, the sunspot number for Solar Cycle 24 is near its peak right now. Spoiler: It's not very impressive. "This solar cycle continues to rank among the weakest on record," says Workshop attendee Ron Turner of Analytic Services, Inc. To illustrate the point, he plotted the smoothed sunspot number of Cycle 24 vs. the previous 23 cycles since 1755:


    In the composite plot, Cycle 24 is traced in red. Only a few cycles since the 18th century have have had lower sunspot counts. For this reason, many researchers have started calling the ongoing peak a "Mini-Max."

    "By all Earth-based measures of geomagnetic and geo-effective solar activity, this cycle has been extremely quiet," notes Turner. "However, Doug Biesecker has presented several charts showing that most large events such as strong flares and significant geomagnetic storms occur in the declining phase of the solar cycle."

    The very rectangular geometry which was on the lower quadrant of the Sun is breaking up into a very small geometry, essentially closing as it rotates off to the right. Above very slight geometry which was noted yesterday has rotated slightly more towards center but also appears to be closing. This is a good sign. NASA reports that there is no appreciable Earth Facing coronal hole, but we did have a brief period of X-ray flux burst.

    This is a dynamic image so it will change daily and any previous images mentioned will scroll off the chart:

    A small Heart Shaped Coronal hole appears to be forming in the upper left quadrant of the solar disk. Most all other small holes are diminishing. NASA/NOAA says there are no large Earth facing coronal holes at this time.

    The Auroral oval was slightly stronger this evening in Europe. Solar activity is considered low and no sunspots are being reported as containing significant magnetic energy.

    Solar activity ticked upward on May 24th with the eruption of an M1-class solar flare from sunspot AR2065. Sunspot AR2073 also poses a threat for M-class flares, so the weekend might not be as quiet as previously supposed.

    What I am looking for in the CORONAL HOLES are specific geometries which are Earth facing, that can release substantial particle streams, or show a potential for a nuclear isomer massive release of energy (gamma ray burst), of large levels.

    27th May 14 update

    QUIET WITH A CHANCE OF FLARES: Solar activity is low. However, departing sunspot AR2065 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. If such an explosion does occur, it would be well-connected to Earth. The sun's spiralling magnetic field leads from the sun's western limb, where AR2065 is located, almost directly back to our planet. (spaceweather.com)




    The 'heart-shaped hole", that turned into a triangle shaped hole, moved off to the right as seen above. According to NASA/NOAA there are no large Earth-facing Coronal holes at this time.

    Current electron flux levels are low.

    QUIET SUN: Solar activity remains low. Not one of the sunspots scattered across the visible disk of the sun possesses the kind of complex magnetic field that poses a threat for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 5% chance of M-flares on May 29th.

    Breaking a days-long spell of quiet, sunspot AR2077 unleashed an M1-class solar flare this morning. The impulsive flare, which peaked at 04:09 UT on June 3rd, probably did not hurl a CME toward Earth. Stay tuned for updates as more data are analyzed.

    Sunspot AR2077 poses a threat for M-class solar flares..

    In post 13 a filament was potentially on the verge of collapsing - it did..

    A giant filament of solar magnetism, which amateur astronomers have been monitoring for more than a week, erupted yesterday.

    Astronomers had been bracing for the possibility that the filament would collapse, causing a Hyder flare when it landed on the solar surface. Instead, it erupted and hurled part of itself into space. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded a CME emerging from the blast site: CME movie.

    The CME billowed away from the sun at 520 km/s (1.2 million mph). Although that sounds fast, it is actually slower than the average CME. This makes sense because the explosion itself was very slow. The collapse period was nearly 24 hours long.

    Coronagraph images show that the explosion was not squarely Earth-directed. Most of the CME will head south of the Sun-Earth line. Nevertheless, there could be a glancing blow on or about June 7th, possibly sparking polar geomagnetic storms.

    These are the current statistics:

    There's slightly increased activity with a higher proton density in the solar wind, and a slight increase in speed.

    Solar activity remains low. However, new sunspot AR2080 has developed a 'beta-gamma-magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. It is now crackling with C-class flares; these flares are relatively weak but they could herald something stronger. NOAA forecasters have boosted the odds of M-flares to 10%, a figure that is likely to increase in the days ahead.

    Although there is not a direct earth facing coronal hole, there is the start of a possibility. The geometry in the southern hemisphere of the sun has turned more "triangular-like" in appearance.

    As predicted, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field on June 7th.

    The glancing blow at approximately 16:30 UT could spark minor geomagnetic storms in the hours ahead.

    High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

    Solar wind
    speed: 493.8 km/sec

    The magnetic earth field shows unsettled.

    During the past 48 hours, three large sunspot groups have materialized. Nearly invisible on June 5th, now the active regions are peppered with dark cores larger than Earth. All three regions have unstable magnetic fields that pose a threat for significant eruptions.

    The greatest threat comes from sunspot AR2080. Its 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field harbors energy not only for medium M-class flares, but also for powerful X-flares. Because AR2080 is centrally located on the solar disk, any flares this weekend will likely be Earth-directed. (see below)

    There are currently NO large coronal holes earth facing according to NASA/NOAA. There is a building rectangular geometry which is starting to cross the solar equator. The triangle shaped hole in the southern hemisphere is proceeding to rotate off the earth visible region.

    Current prediction reports:

    Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 06/2100Z to
    07/2100Z: Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
    The largest solar event of the period was a C3 event observed at
    06/2225Z from Region 2080 (S12E04). There are currently 7 numbered
    sunspot regions on the disk.

    IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with
    a chance for M-class flares and a slight chance for an X-class flare on
    days one, two, and three (08 Jun, 09 Jun, 10 Jun).

    WEEKEND GEOMAGNETIC STORM: High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on June 8th and 9th as Earth passes through the wake of a CME, which struck on June 7th.

    Initially, the CME's impact was was weak, but as the 7th turned into the 8th a G2-class geomagnetic storm developed, sparking auroras across Canada and many northern-tier US states.

    "For about 10 minutes the pinks were just incredible," says Justin Phillips, of New Auburn, Wisconsin..

    Aurora:



    Auroras were also sighted in the USA in Maine, Minnesota, Washington, South Dakota, New York, and Michigan. About 10,000 miles away, sky watchers spotted the same shades of pink over New Zealand, so this was truly a global event.

    This is the stuff we were "feeling".. Can't communicate, people can't understand what ur saying? Dohh..

    What's making the lights?

    The source of the CME was a magnetic filament on the sun, which erupted on June 4th. The explosion was not squarely aimed at Earth, but the glancing blow it provided three days later was enough to spark the ongoing display. NOAA forecasters say CME effects could persist until June 9th with a 25% chance of continued geomagnetic storms.

    Here's some of the spots showing up in a photo:

    NASA and NOAA are reporting NO earth facing coronal holes.

    The x-class flares today (double) were not precisely earth aimed.

    BUT there was some ionization that happened in the upper ionosphere. This double event was directed mostly away from Earth.

    Forecasters expected an X-flare today, and the sun experienced an event.

    The source, however, was unexpected.

    A new sunspot (AR2087) suddenly emerging from behind the sun's southeastern limb erupted twice, producing an X2.2-flare at 11:42 UT and an X1.5-flare at 12:52.

    There are no large earth facing coronal holes according to NASA and NOAA



    As seen below this is where the x-class flares originated, not facing earthside:



    BUT despite this not being precisely aimed at the earth, a spill over of X-rays and UV radiation from the double flare created a "wave of ionization" in Earth's upper atmosphere, altering the normal propagation of radio transmissions over Europe. Rob Stammes recorded the sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID) from his laboratory in Lofoton, Norway. There was an R3 radio blackout in Europe as a result.

    Three day moving graph:


    Expect auroral activity in the high latitudes on the 13th, and unsettled earthside activity through the 15th.

    Current activity reporting addition flares, still not square on earth facing, however a revision was issued for yesterday's double x flare from sunspot 2087:
