Sun Stuff: What's up!

[Arak]

Still think the sun is falling asleep Wind? Maybe it is and just having nightmares. ;)

Who knows. The Sun's energy has weakened, but sometimes it does get somewhat active and we've seen even small X-class flares from time to time, but not even a single X10 flare. I would love to see some action rather than a mini ice age, though a X20+ flare is not something that I would hope for.

Me too Wind. But I also thik they use the words "Mini Ice Age" as just more public fear mongering. I remember when I was a young child, my father telling me they were predicting a "mini ice age" to happen very soon. That was 45 years ago. LOL And here we still are, not frozen yet. :)

Aside from that, I happen to prefer this any day of the year. :)

Slightly off-topic but as I was a young child I for some reason was terrified about the upcoming ice age. It was 30 years ago. My teacher even asked from my mom that why does that small boy talk weird stuff like that (as well as i spoke to my grandmom about small men who come/came from stars)... Just maybe I knew something back then. Personally I cant remember almost anything from age that young 5-7y old.

[Sidney]

Wow Arak, that is pretty profound. I honestly don't even know why I remember that conversation I had with my dad that many years ago ,, because I have almost no childhood memories. Makes me wonder if it is something we are suppose to remember right around now. Interesting they aired on television the movie "Day after Tomorrow", about a superstorm that plunges the world into an ice age. I truly hope that it does not happen in my lifetime, because I really do not like being cold.

M3.8 Solar Flare
Solar activity increased once again with moderate activity detected around sunspot 1967. A solar flare measuring M3.8 was observed at 01:23 UTC. The flare was relatively long in duration.

Update:
The latest, a very impulsive M5.2 flare, was detected at 04:00 UTC

There are big sunspots on the Sun and we should have seen big flares by now, but recently we've seen only C-class flares. Even the CME impacts have been very weak, the Sun just isn't delivering. Sadly it is a definite sign of the solar magnetic shutdown...

Then there is this thing too... Our magnetic shield is fading and failing too (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2545465/Forget-global-warming-worry-MAGNETOSPHERE-Earths-magnetic-field-collapsing-affect-climate-wipe-power-grids.html). Could be a sign that the planet's north and south poles are about to flip, it has happened in the not too distant past.

My lack of childhood memories is a prominent path my mind has been on for weeks now!

[Rocky_Shorz]

it's ok Wind, remember the sun has been cycling for Billions of years and our planet has survived just fine, the difference is, now we are watching and noticing little things we haven't seen before...

The Atlantic tides are off since the BP disaster that shut down the conveyor belt that used to haul warm water and air towards Scotland...

you can hold off on the Atlanta Igloo plans for eBay for a little while longer... ;)

[Sidney]

Anybody else feeling the energies today???
thought I would share this. I have seen these before, but have no idea what they are, does anyone else know?

and CME that is probably the source of my exhaustion combined with no sleep last night.

Yes feeling energies! and odd ones at tht....couldn't explain it right now, going through new stuff--unknown territory,
I have no idea wht emotion to have connected to it? On a side note the atmosphere and weather was simple phenomenal today--sun was beaming ever SO brightly and it seemed perfect

Update on Flares:

Yesterday we got 2 M flares:

One M2.2 at 05:04 UTC from sunspot 1967...

And one M1.9 at 10:29 UTC from sunspot 1968...

Both sunspots are rotating off the west of the Earth facing disc and, although they could still flare, the effects to Earth should minimal.

Here's something from Presto Alert from yesterday:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
An interplanetary shock wave was detected today by ACE at 16:18 UT and by
SOHO/CELIAS at 16:28 UT. The jumps of solar wind parameters across the
shock were: from 310 to 410 km/s (speed), from 1.5 to 8 particles per cubic
centimeter (density), from 25000 to 80000 K (temperature), and from 5 to 12
nT (interplanetary magnetic field magnitude). The shock was most probably
driven by the ICME corresponding to the partial halo CME that first
appeared in the SOHO/LASCO C2 field of view on February 4 at 01:25 UT. The
Earth is now inside the post-shock sheath, and the north-south
interplanetary magnetic field component Bz was mostly positive in it, so
the K index reached only values of 3 (IZMIRAN and NOAA). We do not expect
the ICME itself to arrive at the Earth, so the geomagnetic situation will
soon return back to quiet, although isolated intervals of active (K = 4) or
minor storm (K = 5) geomagnetic conditions are not excluded.

The K-p index was at level 4 (yellow):

Pounding head, two days in a row now. Feeling these energies this week for sure.

[Wind]

Yeah, during the past few days the energies have been intense even though there has been only C and small M-class flares... Also CME's directed away from Earth. I suspect that even though the Sun has started to lose it's power, it has actually started to affect us humans more.... Perhaps due to the weakening magnetic field. It has been our shield thus far and that's why the weather is also getting worse, but this is just the beginning.

Earth-facing M3.7 solar flare peaked at 04:25 UTC. Source is sunspot 1974.

Sunspot 1974 has also produced a bunch of high mag C-flares....

From spaceweather.com:


AURORAS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY? Two minor CMEs that left the sun on Feb. 11th are expected to merge and hit Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 14th. The combined impact could spark geomagnetic storms and auroras around the Arctic Circle on Valentine's Day.

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/12feb14/spots_strip2.jpg

During the past two days, the sunspot has sprouted dozens of new dark cores under an increasingly complex magnetic canopy. The region's unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field harbors energy for strong explosions, prompting NOAA forecasters to boost the daily odds of M-flares to 45%, and X-flares to 10%.

[MorningSong]

Sunspot 1974 has produced another (3rd today) flare: M2.1 at 15:51 UTC:

From Solarham:


Added 02/12/2014 @ 17:30 UTC
Weekend Aurora Watch
The solar wind prediction model released by NOAA has been updated to include a pair of coronal mass ejections with potential Earth directed components. A model released by the Goddard Space Flight Center is also updated to include a halo CME from earlier this morning. An impact to our geomagnetic field will be possible this weekend (Feb 15) and could lead to aurora displays at high latitudes.

WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G2 Predicted
Highest Storm Level Predicted by Day:
Feb 13: None (Below G1) Feb 14: G1 (Minor) Feb 15: G2 (Moderate)
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

It would be great if there was an automatic reporting system for the M-class flares just like there is one for the M6+ earthquakes. I'll have to make some inquiries about it...

The C-class and low M-class flares keep just popping, Just a moment ago there was another M1 flare.... But still, where are the X-class ones?

Attached image by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures a low level M-Flare (M1.8) centered around sunspot 1974 at 01:40 UTC.

Another low level M-Flare (M1.0) detected around 1974 at 02:51 UTC. Will the active region show us a little love for the upcoming Valentine's Day with a strong solar flare while still in a geoeffective position? Stay tuned. As always, the best place to stay updated is SolarHam. (https://www.facebook.com/SolarHam)

why do you need a notification, you get rocked every time one pops...

over the last week I've heard from everyone they have been feeling dizzy, it's my notification to take a peek at Solar charts to see what's up...

things always seem to pop this time of year as we move into the massive quake and storm season...

http://lasp.colorado.edu/eve/data_access/quicklook/quicklook_data/latest_3day.png

fasten your seat belts...

(the light purple shows flare activity, this is real time so will disappear soon, but take note of the wavering in the lower energies. We just passed through something... traveling through space at 68,000 MPH we hardly even noticed...)

a star was sucked into a black hole, and a jet of energy blasted back out pointed towards us, could this be related? was this just a small poof of a side stream and the main impact yet to come?

any more light headed and I'll be flying... ;)

[Wind]

For the big ones, Rocky, but of course there really have been none of them recently... Let alone a kill shot.

[Rocky_Shorz]

I really felt the energies over these last few days, yesterday I felt extremely dizzy during the time we passed through whatever it was...

had to pull over for a moment while driving, so I guess a notification saying HANG ON!!! would be important... ;)

[Wind]

I've felt the intense energies too, emotionally... A couple a days ago I too was dizzy and it's rare for me. I've seen how these energies have affected other people too both emotionally & physically.

[Rocky_Shorz]

I have a bunch of relatives that went to the doctor over dizziness all within a day of each other...

those who don't understand how the sun affects us don't realize there is nothing doctors can do...

no one is even studying these effects, maybe in the future some day, our comments in this thread will turn into a research paper...

remember, all doctors are practicing, no one has answers to sciences long forgotten...

[Sidney]

Yesterday late afternoon I was driving and became so disoriented I missed my turn twice. And today, my headache is continuing, and I was wondering if my driving event was due to solar issues. Glad I am not alone in my light headedness.

[Rocky_Shorz]

a few things you notice in these events...

batteries in cell phones and computers drain as the opposite charged particles pass through...

Green Bananas get brown spots...

if it does that to bananas and batteries, how does it affect us being energy beings?

should we keep tin hats handy?

next time your pager goes off, wrap your bananas and see if it helps... ;)

[Wind]

Also my right ear has been buzzing really loudly, just like right now.

[MorningSong]

After yesterday's 5 M-class flares, sunspot 1974 is still at it today:

M2.3 at 02:57 UTC
M1.6 at 12:40 UTC
M1.1 at 13:28 UTC

...more may have occured but the data isn't visible yet...

The super-active sunspot is heading for the sun's limb but if it should produce a strong blast, we could still be affected... gotta just wait and see.

From spaceweather.com:


CHANCE OF FLARES: Growing sunspot AR1974 is crackling with M-class solar flares and poses a threat for even stronger X-class eruptions. Sergio Castillo sends this picture of the active region from his backyard observatory in Inglewood,CA:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/14feb14/crackle_strip.jpg

"Sunspot AR1974 looks really active with minor flare activity," says Castillo. "It hasn't unleashed a strong flare yet, but this can change at any time."

Indeed, the sunspot has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that seems to be teetering on the edge of a significant flare. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on Feb. 14th.

[Wind]

MorningSong, thanks for keeping this thread up to date, the Sun is now delivering those M-class flares at the speed of a machine gun. Today I woke up feeling really hot and my heart was racing... After that I got cold sweat and nausea and I'm still feeling a bit weak. I figured that a flare was rising at that moment. What is interesting is that I'm feeling also energized and a bit nervous as if I would have enjoyed too much coffee, I hardly could sleep!

Buckle your seatbelts folks, because the ride is only commencing.

CME Sweeps Past ACE
"The ACE spacecraft is showing a sudden solar wind increase to near 500 km/s. This signals the passage of at least one expected coronal mass ejection past the spacecraft. The plasma cloud is expected to sweep past Earth within the next hour or so. The attached EPAM Proton level data courtesy of the ACE spacecraft is showing a sudden spike which confirms an approaching CME shock front. More to follow."

Thank you MorningSong and all contributors to this thread which is one of the most important ones on Avalon.
WHY?
Because the Sun governs everything to do with human existence--food--- water--air-- a temperature that assures we don't freeze or roast.
It would seem that it affects our moods and health also.
It affects mother earth--- quakes and weather.
A lot more to that I don't understand.
Not that there is anything that can be done if the Sun throws a fit--or sulks.
In appreciation

Sun Stuff update:

Yesterday there was a filament eruption... here's what spaceweather has to say:


'RADIOACTIVE' ERUPTION: On Feb. 17th at approximately 04:50 UT, a magnetic filament erupted from the sun's western limb. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this high-resolution image of the blast:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/17feb14/westernblast_strip.jpg

Because of its location on the sun's western limb, the eruption did not send a CME toward Earth. However, there was an effect on our planet: Shortwave radio loudspeakers roared with static, an event called a Type II radio burst.

Here's how it works: The explosion sent shock waves rippling through the sun's atmosphere. Those shock waves, in turn, triggered plasma instabilities in the solar corona that emit strong radio emissions. The static-y "roar" of the explosion was picked up by solar observatories and ham radio stations across the dayside of our planet. Based on the sweep of radio frequencies from 20 MHz to 500 MHz, analysts estimate a shock velocity of 776 km/s or 1.7 million mph. That may sound fast, but it is typical for this type of eruption.

According to Presto Alert, there was another one today:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A full halo CME erupted at 01:25 UT (first seen by LASCO-C2) as a
consequence of a filament eruption in the southeast of the visible solar
disc. The bulk of the CME is directed to the southeast, but it can reach
the Earth. The calculated speed is 663 km/s, giving an arrival time of
February 20, at 20:00 UT (with a ~12h error margin).

[MorningSong]

There is a big geomagnetic storm going on today:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/Kp.gif

spaceweather.com says:


CME IMPACT, GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A minor geomagnetic storm was already in progress on Feb. 19th when a CME struck Earth's magnetic field at approximately 0200 UT. The impact revved-up the storm and sent Northern Lights spilling across the Canadian border into the United States. Douglas Kiesling sends this picture from Sauk Rapids, Minnesota:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/19feb14/greenowl_strip.jpg

"The auroras were so bright, I could actually see a snowy owl on power pole back lit by the green glow," says Kiesling. "The owl itself was illuminated by bright moonlight."

High-latitude sky watchers, if it's dark where you live, look for auroras. Geomagnetic activity is still underway as Earth's magnetic field reverberates from the CME impact.

Here's the latest Presto Alert:

A shock arrived to ACE at 03:10 UT. The speed jumped from 400km/s to
470km/s and the magnetic field intensity from 9nt to 18nT. The shocks seems
to be driven by a magnetic cloud, probably related to a prominence eruption
on February 16. Prior to the shock, Bz was south during the evening of
February 18. Due to the low temperatures present in this region, this
southward field seems also to be part of a magnetic cloud, probably related
to an eruption on February 14. This situation led to a geomagnetic storm
with Kp reaching 6 in the period between 03:00 UT and 06:00 UT. Bz is
turning now to positive values, but more geoeffective periods cannot be
discarded.

Update from SolarHam.com:


Updated 02/19/2014 @ 12:05 UTC
Solar Update
Good morning. Below is an updated image of the visible solar disk on Wednesday. Solar activity is currently at low levels with C-Class flares being detected. Sunspot 1974 is now located behind the west limb and out of direct Earth view. Of all the current visible regions, sunspot 1982 in the southeast quadrant will be the largest threat (15%) for an isolated M-Class flare. A new region is rotating into view off the northeast limb and is currently producing low level C-Class activity. All other visible regions remain stable.

A pair of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed during the past 12 hours. The first at 00:00 UTC appears to have originated in the northeast quadrant and was the result of a filament channel eruption. It so far appears to be directed mostly north of the sun-Earth ecliptic plane. The second, appears to be farsided and is awaiting further analysis.

The solar wind speed is currently near 500 km/s on Wednesday morning. The Bz component of the IMF is variable with rotating periods of north and south pointing values. Enhanced geomagnetic activity reaching as high as storm levels will remain a possibility.

Sunspot 1976 surprised everybody this morning and produced a moderate M3.0 solar flare at 07:56 UTC. The event was associated with a Type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 844 km/s, and a short duration 10cm Radio Burst (TenFlare) measuring 280sfu. A coronal mass ejection (CME) became visible following the event and is directed mostly to the west, but may have an Earth directed component. Low energy proton levels streaming past Earth did reach above the minor S1 radiation storm threshold. It should be noted that an earlier eruption on the opposite side of the visible disk around regions 1981 and 1982 also produced a CME with a potential Earth directed component. More updates to follow. Imagery by SDO and LASCO C2.

Moderate G2 Level Storming now in progress. Visual aurora is again being reported.

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2014 Feb 20 0528 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC

I woke up late this morning with SEARING pain in my head.
Imagine the worst hangover you have ever had. That POUNDING, pulsating, swollen brain feeling. This was followed by some energy that just about knocked me down as I made my way to the coffee pot. So I thought I would have a look at the solar thread for any clues as to the reason for my exploding head. And here it is. WOW

Look at the electrons, lol! Just a while ago the heavy feeling of anxiety left me and I guess that it's because the electrons have started to settle down. I would rather take the headaches than the anxiety, please! :P

Actually during the past year when ever the electrons went crazy like this it always felt like my solar plexus was being crushed, such an immensely unpleasant feeling. However now I feel like laughing, or dancing.

I don't think that we are the only ones, perhaps some are just more sensitive. Everyone seems to react their own way to the solar activity... Some get nauseous, others get angry, some have headache, but I get nervous or sometimes (like today and yesterday) very anxious.

Old sunspot 1944, then renamed 1967 on it's second time around, is making another very rare third ride across the Earth-facing disc and it has already given us a "wave":

An M1.1 flare this morning at 06:09 UTC:

any one else getting the headaches today?

....feels like one of the worst, or longest yet... at least for me...

[MorningSong]

Today there were 2 M-flares:

M1.2 at 11:17 UTC from active region S11E88 (not numbered because not fully on the Earth-facing disc yet):

M1.3 at 12:05 UTC from sunspot 1982:

News from spaceweather.com:


WHERE THE ACTION IS: Although the Earth-facing side of the sun is peppered with spots, that's not where the action is. For the past few days, most solar activity has been coming from a location hidden behind the sun's southeastern limb. It is likely old sunspot AR1967, set to return from a two-week transit around the farside of the sun. The place to watch is circled:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/24feb14/here_strip.gif

If AR1967 does come back, it will mark the third time the active region has crossed the visible face of the sun. The first time was in early January when it was called "AR1944." Sunspots seldom last more than two or three weeks; two or three months is remarkable. By now the returning spot is probably a decayed shell of its former self, although flares and CMEs flying over the southeastern limb hint at some remaining potency. Stay tuned for updates.

[Wind]

Amazing, the 3rd largest flare during the current solar cycle!!! One bright flash!

Major X4.9 Solar Flare
A major solar flare measuring X4.9 was just observed around returning sunspot 1967 at 00:49 UTC. This just proves you cannot judge a book by its cover. Despite appearing to be in a state of decay, the active region remains magnetically potent. The flare itself appears to be fairly impulsive.

CME Update: As expected, a large coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated with the X4.9 Solar Flare. Click HERE (http://solarham.net/pictures/archive/feb25_2014_cme.jpg) for an image by LASCO C2. The plasma cloud is directed mostly to the east. Once more imagery is available, I will be able to put together an animation to determine if there is an Earth directed component.The sunspot is not yet in a good position for Earth directed eruptions. More updates to follow via SolarHam.

WOW! I'm impressed!

From spaceweather.com:


X-FLARE! Returning sunspot AR1967 unleashed a powerful X4.9-class solar flare on Feb. 25th at 00:49 UTC. This is the most intense flare of 2014 so far, and one of the most intense of the current solar cycle. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/25feb14/x4_strip.jpg

Although this flare is impressive, its effects are mitigated by the location of the blast site--near the sun's southeastern limb, and not facing Earth. Indeed, a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) which raced away from the sun shortly after the flare appears set to miss our planet:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/25feb14/c2_cme_strip.gif

e its trajectory is so far off the sun-Earth line, the CME will deliver a glancing blow, at best, and probably no blow at all.

The source of the eruption is long-lived sunspot AR1967, now beginning its third trip across the Earthside of the sun. This region was an active producer of flares during its previous transits, and it looks like the third time will be little different. By tradition, sunspots are renumbered each time they return, so AR1967 will soon have a new designation. (Update: The new name of this sunspot is AR1990.)

Radiation Storm
Proton levels streaming past Earth continue to rise following the X4.9 flare event on Monday night. A minor S1 radiation storm is now in progress. NOAA updated the WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction model to include the halo CME generated by the X4.9 flare event. A glancing blow to our geomagnetic field will be possible by early Feb 27 (UTC time). Minor geomagnetic activity will be possible later this week. Stay tuned for updates. Visit the link below to watch the latest prediction model.

# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium) #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
The long awaited shock of the CME originating from the X4.9 flare on Feb 25
has arrived at the ACE spacecraft in L1. The shock is only of moderate
magnitude (up to 480 km/s) but to combination of a high density and
southward interplanetary magnetic field during several hours has triggered
K=4 active geomagnetic conditions as measured in Dourbes and Kp=6 levels as
estimated by NOAA. We expect continued episodes of active geomagnetic
conditions in the next day as also the high wind speed stream of a small
coronal hole is expected.

CME Impact / Geomagnetic Storm Observed
A geomagnetic sudden impulse measuring 22 nT was detected at 16:53 UTC by ground based magnetometers. This signaled the moment an expected plasma cloud (CME) swept past our planet. Solar wind speeds increased to above 430 km/s and the Bz/IMF component pointed sharply south for a long period. A noteworthy rise in plasma density was also observed. Moderate (G2) Geomagnetic Storming unfolded at high latitudes in the wake of the CME impact. Visual aurora displays were reported across northern Europe and Scandinavia. Geomagnetic storm conditions have since subsided, however sky watchers should remain alert tonight as flareups will be possible.

Spaceweather.com Update on sunspot 2002 which is producing numerous C- and M- flares:


CRACKLING SUNSPOT: The eastern limb of the sun is crackling with M-class flares. The source is sunspot AR2002, shown here erupting on March 10th:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/10mar14/crackle_strip.jpg

Sergio Castillo took the picture from his backyard observatory in Inglewood, CA. "This new active region 2002 is starting to produce lots of C-flares and M-flares," says Castillo. "Definitely we should keep an eye on it."

Definitely. This sunspot group has more than doubled in size in the past 24 hours. Click to view a movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/10mar14/ar2002_strip.gif

The rapid growth of the sunspot has destabilized its magnetic field, which makes it more likely to erupt. NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of M-class flares and a 5% chance of X-class flares during the next 24 hours.

As for sunspot 2002, here's what spaceweather.com has to say today:


CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2002 has been mostly quiet for the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, the Earth-facing active region has a'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field tthat harbors ebergy for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-class flares and a 15% chance of X-class flares on March 12th.

Near X-Flare Detected
Departing sunspot 1996 produced an impulsive M9.3 solar flare peaking at 22:34 UTC. Rapid releases of energy are not generally known to produce large coronal mass ejections, but we will wait for updated coronagraph imagery to confirm if a plasma cloud is associated. If there is, it would likely be directed mostly away from our planet. Click HERE (http://youtu.be/8JN4U9PyLss) for a movie. Imagery below by SDO/EVE.

So THIS has been lately messing with my dream states... During the past few days I've also felt a bit nauseous at times, anyone else had any "solar symptoms" lately or are these just normal flu symptoms, I wonder?


Here is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Saturday. Solar activity was moderate during the past 24 hours. Region 2011 produced an M1.1 solar flare peaking at 07:02 UTC and was in conjunction with an eruptive prominence near the west limb. A coronal mass ejection (CME) became visible in LASCO C2 imagery shortly after the flare and appears to be directed to the west. A filament eruption in the vicinity of region 2005 in the northwest quadrant registered as a long duration C-Class flare at approximately 09:05 UTC. A second CME became visible in STEREO Behind COR2 imagery and appears to be directed mostly to the north. More imagery is needed in order to provide better analysis. All other visible regions remain fairly stable for now. New sunspots 2015, 2016 and 2017 were numbered overnight. Stay tuned to www.solarham.com for the latest updates.

Well, I have wondered why I have been slightly dizzy for a moment here and there (I associate that with earthquakes somewhere and feels like energy shifts) and a bit nauseous here and there.

Yes, sun activity (which is connected to the Earth and us) and earthquakes always have that effect. That's why I sometimes ask if people have same kind of symptoms at the same time because it will confirm what I've been thinking about...

CME.

http://oi59.tinypic.com/a3i5n7.jpg

[Rocky_Shorz]

the C class flare that ran 2 hours is rolling at us and should hit ~26th

because of the duration, the energy is equivalent to an X...

we aren't out of quake danger yet Cali...

[MorningSong]

I agree, Rocky.

Here's what spaceweather.com has to say on that long-duration flare from sunspot 2014:


LONG-DURATION FLARE: On March 23rd around 0330 UT, the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2014 became unstable and erupted, producing a long-duration C-class solar flare. Although C-class flares are considered to be minor, this one lasted so long (several hours) that it unleashed the energy-equivalent of a much stronger flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the action:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/23mar14/longduration_strip2.gif

Slow flares usually produce CMEs and this one was no exception. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) recorded a bright cloud emerging from the blast site: movie. The CME appears to have an Earth-directed component that could reach our planet in ~3 days.

Yes, have been for a few days now. I knew this morning we were being hit with a wave of something before I even got out of bed.

Looks like another big CME.

Well, I have wondered why I have been slightly dizzy for a moment here and there (I associate that with earthquakes somewhere and feels like energy shifts) and a bit nauseous here and there.

Same here. Plus inexplicable fatigue starting from Friday, extra sleeping hours added, to no avail.

But it could also be a flu.

[Wind]

Incredible cosmic ray readings! When ever I blink with my left eye I see red/blue coloured sparks in my field of vision! Apparently some of those filament eruptions or CME-events allow great amounts of cosmic rays to enter our system.

I agree!!! I also think that the scientific community has data on these things swept neatly under the rug to the point we will never know how bad it really is until it is too late. I happen to think that the solar activity threads are some of the more important ones to keep track of, and It surprises me how little attention they get. It is the sun after all, it pretty much rules us.
I think we have VERY little ozone left too, which is ONE reason for all the chemtrailing. However, to quote a scientist (can't remember who), that is like putting out a fire by throwing a bucket of gas on it. :/

[MorningSong]

Oh, yes, I am sure that the electron flux has been like that since the 13th... I am a "watcher" and a "keeper"..... every 3 days I archive sun data. I would post the clips here, but I don't know how. If anyone's interested, I can e-mail them.....

As for the dizziness, the nausea, the wild dreams, just general emotional weirdness.... it's all been happening to me, too. Maybe it is the geomagnetic field.

[Wind]

Thanks for letting me know MorningSong, it's a good thing that you record these things. Something weird has been in the air for sure... On many levels.

Pair of Flares
Solar activity is now at moderate levels thanks to a pair of M-Class solar flares centered around sunspot 2017. The first event, an M2.0 flare at 19:18 UTC Friday afternoon, was associated with a Type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 528 km/s. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced and appears to be directed mostly to the north. The second event, an M2.6 flare at 23:51 UTC, was also resonsible for a Type II emission with an estimated velocity of 857 km/s. A second CME became visible in LASCO C2 imagery and so far appears to be directed mostly north of the ecliptic. More updates to follow if necessary.

X1 flare.

Here is another look at the X1.0 solar flare detected around sunspot 2017 at 17:48 UTC. The flare was responsible for a brief radio blackout which effected the HF radio spectrum on the sunlit side of Earth during the middle of the CQ Worldwide WPX radio contest. Signals have since recovered. Imagery by SDO/EVE.

Here's news from spaceweather.com:


SOLAR FLARE CAUSES RARE 'MAGNETIC CROCHET': On March 29th at 17:52 UT, the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR1890 erupted, producing a brief but intense X1-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/29mar14/x1_strip2.jpg

Radiation from the flare caused a surge in the ionization of Earth's upper atmosphere--and this led to a rare magnetic crochet, measuring 17 nT at the magnetometer in Boulder, Colorado.

A magnetic crochet is a ripple in Earth's magnetic field caused by electrical currents flowing in air 60 km to 100 km above our heads. Unlike geomagnetic disturbances that arrive with CMEs days after a flare, a magnetic crochet occurs while the flare is in progress. They tend to occur during fast impulsive flares like this one.

The explosion also hurled a CME into space: movie. The bulk of the CME is sailing north of the sun-Earth line, but there appears to be a faint Earth-directed component that could deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field on April 1-2.

More flares are possible this weekend. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of M-class flares and a 20% chance of X-class flares on March 30th.

The X-flare did produce a small proton flux:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/Proton.gif

..and it seems to have convinced the electron flux to get back on track:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/Electron.gif

[MorningSong]

Today's M2.1 flare came from sunspot 2017 at 12:02 UTC:

Sunspot 2017 is beta-gamma-delta and the possibility of M-class flares is 55% and for X-class flares is up to 20%.

[Wind]

The electrons are taking dive again and I woke up feel anxious... Not again! Also a wave of nausea just hit me, now where did that come from? :dizzy:


Beautiful Eruption
Solar activity continues at moderate levels thanks to an M1.4 solar flare this morning observed around departing sunspot 2014 at 08:07 UTC. A beautiful eruption of plasma was captured during the event by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) as seen in the image below. Any associated coronal mass ejection (CME) would likely be directed away from Earth due to the location near the west limb.

From Spaceweather.com (http://spaceweather.com/)

CHANCE OF STORMS: The first of three or more CMEs en route to Earth are expected to arrive late in the day on April 1st. None of the incoming clouds is squarely Earth-directed. The series of glanciing blows, however, will rattle Earth's magnetic field and possibly spark auroras. NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on April 2nd.. Aurora alerts: text, voice

IMPULSIVE SOLAR FLARE SCRAMBLES RADIO SIGNALS: On Saturday, March 29th, the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2017 erupted, producing a brief but intense X1-class solar flare. A flash of extreme UV radiation sent waves of ionization rippling through Earth's upper atmosphere and disturbed the normal propagation of terrestrial radio transmissions. Radio engineer Stan Nelson of Roswell, NM, was monitoring WWV at 20 MHz when the signal wobbled then disappeared entirely for several minutes:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/31mar14/wwv_strip.gif

"The Doppler shift of the WWV signal (the 'wobble' just before the blackout) was nearly 12 Hz, the most I have ever seen," says Nelson.

The flare not only blacked out radio signals, but also produced some radio signals of its own. The explosion above sunspot AR2017 sent shock waves racing through the sun's atmosphere at speeds as high as 4800 km/s (11 million mph). Radio emissions stimulated by those shocks crossed the 93 million mile divide to Earth, causing shortwave radio receivers to roar with static. Here is a plot of the outburst detected by Nelson using a 20.1 MHz RadioJove receiver. Elsewhere, strong bursts were recorded at frequencies as high as 2800 MHz. It was a very broad band event.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a beautiful movie (http://sdowww.lmsal.com/sdomedia/h264/2014/03/29/SSW_cutout_20140329T1730-20140329T1809_AIA_131-193-171_N10W32.mov) of the flare:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/29mar14/x1_strip2.jpg

The flash you just saw was extreme UV radiation, the type of radiation that ionizes the upper layers of our atmosphere. In this case, the ionizing action of the flare led to a rare magnetic crochet, measuring 17 nT at the magnetometer in Boulder, Colorado.

A magnetic crochet is a ripple in Earth's magnetic field caused by electrical currents flowing in air 60 km to 100 km above our heads. Unlike geomagnetic disturbances that arrive with CMEs days after a flare, a magnetic crochet occurs while the flare is in progress. They tend to occur during fast impulsive flares like this one.

[Wind]

Spaceweather.com (http://spaceweather.com/):

Waiting for CMES: Arriving a little later than expected, at least three CMEs are still en route to Earth. NOAA forecasters expect glancing blows to commence on April 2nd with a 60% chance of polar geomagnetic storms when the impacts begin. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

M6.5 Solar Flare Observed
A rather noisy and long duration solar flare event measuring M6.5 was just observed around sunspot 2027 at 14:05 UTC. These types of flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Because the source region is located close to the northeast limb, a CME would likely be directed mostly away from our planet. More information to follow.

with the 8.3 quake yesterday off the shore of Chile I thought one wave had hit, but none of the charts showed any rises before the quake...

Explain to me Rocky, what "it does not seem to be geo-effective" means? (from the quote below)

And that it was NOT earth facing, not on the SOLAR-EARTH axis when it lit off.. Meaning it shot out into space?

this is considered a glancing blow because the blunt of energy isn't hitting us, but at the angle it's passing, takes longer to clear earth...

[Bob]

It takes 3 days or so for the CME to hit - for instance, the Saturday event, STILL that one from Saturday hasn't yet hit (the CME that is).. that's 4 days.. so far nothing.

So with this one today, can you please stop your graphic and show me on the graphic (from the NOAA website) what the projection is 3 DAYS from now what they are showing.

It just seems to me when you tell people:

WITH an ASSUMPTION of MAYBE there could be a "glancing blow" - from their official website: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ , it just seems to me, it would be more accurate for the Forum members and the Public tuning into this webpage for clear concise reports, that what they say in their reports should be given, without any drama..

Their website currently at this moment says:

"Top News of the Day:

2014-04-02 15:42 UTC R2 (Moderate) Activity

Region 2027 produced a R2 (Moderate) Solar Flare Radio Blackout event at 1405 UTC (10:05 a.m. EDT) on April 2nd.

The coronal mass ejection from this event is off the Sun-Earth line but analysis continues to see if any glancing blow can be expected.

Meanwhile, G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming is still expected on April 2nd as a result of the R3 (Strong) event of the 29th. Stay tuned for updates."

ED NOTE: for folks interested in data from 'the horse's mouth' (NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center) where they have the events clearly marked on a non-animated table graphic, which IS updated regularly (use this link below):

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/warnings_timeline.html - this shows the EVENTS over the last 3 days, there is generally a 3 Day time for a CME to reach earth (the particles released), and if they are giving any warnings to people who are concerned about particle assault - (such as Power companies, Satellite operators, GPS users).

A WATCH means just that - there may or may not be something, but it is NOT A WARNING..

Currently there is NO WARNING for 3 days from now from today's event.

THERE still IS a WATCH (only) from NOAA for a little bit more time for particles upsetting the GeoMagnetic field (of Earth) from the event from the 29th March.

I believe a graphic is clear - if you can't stop that fancy animation you posted as "explanation" why we are gonna get whacked by the CME, I did ask you to do that, then that animation's assumption, without showing the DATA behind it, is an assumption and anyone can assume whatever, which could be is what you did, using their assumption in the pretty graphic, right?

It's like the graphics for the missing Malaysian plane, assumptions are useless.

NOAA I believe produces the data for people in the INDUSTRY needing data for important services such as those folks ensuring that the power grid doesn't fry, for people concerned about FLYING airplanes and needing not to be hit by X-rays or particle storms, for Satellites that need to protect their receivers/transmitters and sensors. To me that means useful accurate data.

I think people's connection to the sun is in terms of gravitational forces when it comes to earthquakes. And the energetics of the sun ignored. It is a learning curve. The sun is emitting energy in different forms, sometimes directly, sometimes in the fringe or nearby and it's a glancing blow. This process has pressure build-up on edges of fault lines or release of pressure, friction, thermal factors, convection currents, gravitational forces of nearby planets, maybe comets, magnetic connection, magnetic coupling, etc.

The sun seems to be fuel to start the process in motion. It is driving the convection currents in the core to speed up , puts stress on plates in areas causing the quakes. You have to look at this as not interfering with the system but fueling it. The plates move in all different directions. The mechanism is convection currents beneath into the liquid core more which makes some plates collide and others slide against each other and some pull away from each other. Dutchsinse is the one who clues into this and where the pressure is building or not.

Convection currents are swirls in fluid beneath the crust more into the liquid core. We have a hot spinning liquid core of Iron and Nickle, heavy conductive metals, etc. The mechanism has been in play on earth long before man and this connection to the sun maybe fueling it. These swirls are bringing hot, molten liquid up in spots and drawing or pulling down in others. This force can submerge or raise entire continents or melt them. One of the extinction level events in the past may have been where 3 of these swirls where going upwards in one area and melted most of India. They are actually very stable and do NOT change a lot. Why Iceland and Hawaii persist and it can be where a super-volcano (caldera) is also, like Iceland....

I think this just revs up and fuels this movement. A subtle change driving things, plate tectonics, into motion.

I don't know if this actually is heating inside this layer and causing it to swirl faster (like global warming where a little temperature increase can have a huge affect on weather...) or it is more a combination of magnetic coupling, we have a spinning molten core of heavy metals. Or the magnetics outside mostly originating from the sun but inclusive of the earth magnetic fields, influencing the internal mechanism???

Enough information to connect some dots here and make predictions. More art than science, so what?

YOcJQOQWvYY


As above so below, I feel there maybe a connection here as well but yet will see where this leads also. The Earth's and Sun's magnetic fields connection. Hmmm?? What do you guys think about this? Oh Oh I see NASA isn't to favored here but check it out anyway.

Bob is a pilot, so what he is watching for is far different than those of us watching energy hitting earth that bring us the quakes.

bob,

in the 4.7 LA earthquake thread, you might have noticed how nervous I was, it was because I knew a big one was coming, didn't know where, but was afraid it was going to pop California.

how do I explain intuition?
how do I explain premonition?

for years I have been sun watching and seeing how these flares affect earthquakes on Earth

the energy hits us, and once it passes the quakes follow like it did yesterday in Chile.
http://www.ips.gov.au/Images/Satellite/Total%20Electron%20Content/Regional%20Maps/World_tec.gif

looking right now, you can see the concentrated sun energy hitting south America...

the quakes quiet down while it is hitting?

I have noticed a peak in activity at three times, one, when the flare first pops hitting us with X-ray energy, 2nd when the CME blast wave hits us, and the other a daily event as the sun energy passes around the world as the cool down happens so do the quake.

I'm not an expert, but then again if they took the time to study what I'm sharing it might help predict location of quakes about to hit.

but they, are under the same understanding as you and won't spend an effort to look deeper.

I have predicted quakes to within a few hundred miles, I saw the energy yesterday pummeling Chile and knew it was a danger area without having a cray to do all the calculations needed to predict exact locations.

the government offered me a free MIT education if I agreed to join a national think tank...

I told them no, but would be available when needed...

so don't worry about my babbling, for those who are looking for answers, they will find what they are seeking...

[Fairy Friend]

Looks like the quakes are still popping in Chile.

[Wind]

I was wondering that why I couldn't sleep much at all... Also I have been sweating a lot and I've been feeling lethargic. The Sun and the quakes are always causing that... The electrons levels have been okay so far so no anxiety yet. Another CME, directed away from our planet.

New Geomagnetic Storm Watch Issued
Below is an updated video by LASCO C3 capturing a pair of coronal mass ejections. The most impressive event in the video is the bright halo eruption following the M6 flare around region 2027 on Wednesday. It was directed mostly the east with only a slight Earth directed component possible. If you watch the video closely beginning at 20:00 UTC April 1st, you will notice a faint, slow moving halo CME which appears to headed towards Earth. A geomagnetic storm watch in effect for April 5th is based on this particular event. More updates in the days ahead.

I am actually putting this on this thread because I think this may connect and I actually would prefer to not get a lot of attention, even though I think this is an important thread. It has to do with the earthquake part and some possibly related info I heard about the earth's core and the earth is now viewed to really have several layers inside, so I mean the very center core as cooling down. ??? The outer molten core, with the increased volcanic and increased earthquakes which I view as evidence of the opposite. The next layer beneath the crust and mantle seems to be fired up.

They relate the very inner cores to what makes the outer magnetic force and poles of the earth. It is the earth's shield. I did not want to set alarmists off, the earthquakes have unsettled me too. All other data concerning spin, magnetism,... do not indicate any change elsewhere at all.

So what does it mean? Perhaps, IMO it is a good thing and the inner core is being rewarmed through the earth to the center and 'recharging' to put it simply, the center core, meaning the magnetics of the earth. So these earthquakes maybe a good thing overall. Without our magnetic shield life would be stripped away, a possible and popular theory of why Mars is as it is and doesn't have but a residual atmosphere and Earth could turn into a similar barren wasteland. So is it a double edged sword and a good thing? Yeah, we are saved, let's have a party.

I have to also think the opposite theory. What if it's drawing heat or thermal energy away from the very center? What if this influences all the way to the innermost core and is causing lower temperatures and could eventually interfere with the magnetics of the planet. Which could really be worth bringing in the alarmists for and letting them have at it. Go to town.

I felt the need to just share these thoughts here first. People react in different ways. To me what happens in the sun is clearly connected to many things. It is important IMO to keep connecting the dots.

Kp index is rising and electrons are reacting... Via SolarHam:

"Good morning. Attached is another look at a large prominence eruption last night with an Earth scale included for size reference. A bright coronal mass ejection (inset) was produced and directed mostly to the southeast.

Solar activity during the past 24 hours was relatively low with only C-Class flares detected. One of these events, a C8 eruption around region 2027, produced a CME that was directed to the north and away from Earth.

Geomagnetic activity reached enhanced levels this morning (KP=4) due to a prolonged period of southward Bz. We are still awaiting the arrival of a potential incoming CME, however as of this update, no clear cut impact has been detected. ACE EPAM data continues to show a gradual rise in energetic particles, so a shock front may still be approaching. The latest NOAA/SWPC update suggests that a muted CME passage may have already transpired. More updates to follow if necessary.

There will remain a chance for an isolated M-Class event on Saturday.

Monitor www.solarham.com for the latest updates.

Wind, we are affected the same ways by these energies. I get extreme anxiety with these bursts, and also just emotional, and I tend to get in a mode of over analyzing everything, and it goes very deep. And I also tend to connect more dots during these solar phases. Is this ascension progress?

[Wind]

Is this ascension progress?

Well I certainly hope so! I have only become more sensitive to these energies during the recent years so it must mean something. All this suffering can't be in vain... Now can it? ;)

NO, I think there is a reason for the suffering. It is to serve a greater purpose whether we understand the purpose or not.

[Rocky_Shorz]

I rolled over this morning and was soo dizzy I couldn't stand, we are getting more sensitive to these energies somehow...

I know as a pilot these flares aren't powerful enough to blow planes out of the sky, but many of us are flying without wings right now...

so the space weather prediction center with all their fancy toys, couldn't predict what all of us could see coming...

I guess we can put NASA back on the OK source list again... ;)


and yes the impact wave does affect Volcanoes too-

[Wind]

NO, I think there is a reason for the suffering. It is to serve a greater purpose whether we understand the purpose or not.

Yes, suffering is a catalyst for change and growth. Humanity has to grow now, it doesn't matter if it want's it or not. Time is a luxury which we don't have anymore... It can only get so bad before it gets better. I see only good ahead even though the birth pains have been and will be painful before the new enlightened age. It has been coming for a while now.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm far from religious, but the man known as Yeshua knew what he was talking about (in parables). I believe that he meant these times and no, it's not the end... Nothing ever truly ends.


As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

All these are the beginning of birth pains.

At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

I slept last night for the first time in a week and feel quite good today. This kind of energy I will take any day. It must be something to do with these solar energies hitting.

[Wind]

I have been sleeping well too, but it seems that the earthquake activity induced insomnia is returning... It always means that I feel somewhat energized, even though I am tired. Notice how long that eruption lasted?

[Fairy Friend]

I finally got some sleep too but the energies are just all over the place weird. I think it took its toll now I'm sick. Lack of sleep. Still very unsettled yet.

[Sidney]

Thats how I was yesterday Fairyfriend, totally sick from lack of sleep. I was fine today until about 2 hours ago and bam, the anxiety hit. You are spot on, energies all over the place. Always a surprise in store. :/

[Fairy Friend]

Me too its just taking its toll. And it's making me very dehydrated. I'm trying to push my fluids now and I took a long bath.
I feel much better. Had to get outside and move around.

[Fairy Friend]

I think things still very unsettled. A mag 4.9 quake just hit in Idaho. But I think the pressures building the other direction towards the Middle East and even though Greece's had a lot of quakes, I think it's more Middle East and not that far. Things seem to be happening quickly and I suspect tonight we'll see some more pops. I keep thinking full moon and Solomon Islands keep popping in my head. Some areas getting more than their fair share.

[Wind]

Doesn't it look like something is hitting the Sun again? Some days ago there was another sun diving comet. I've been super tired. Fairy Friend, do you think that there will be more earthquakes or is it over?

I don't think it's over yet and I think just before the exact full moon is going to be the most intense. I just hope we don't get one big giant pop and its spread out to a lot of smaller ones. Not that a small quake can't do a lot of damage in the wrong spot.

I began to have a major solar migraine at around 8 ish this morning central standard time. I can't find any data on activity. Does anyone know if a CME or Flare occurred. It is very intense.

That's strange, because sun activity has been low lately. Nothing special going on at the moment, electron and cosmic ray levels are just normal. I'll try to see if I find anything unusual. Do you have any idea if your migraine would be related to anything else besides the sun?

I suppose it could be full moon related, however, it came on instantly, not gradually, just like when the sun has a tissy fit. Maybe its just a random headache. Maybe something will show up in the data later today, when I just looked at the soho footage, there wasn't anything beyond 7 ish this morning. All that said, I got a terrible night sleep due to full moon, so maybe that is it.

[Sidney]

Ok, so there are several hours of missing footage from this morning. Roughly six.
The six hours in between these two images is missing, that usually happens during solar activity(or when there is something visible that they would rather we not see)

Might be something, might be nothing, either way, my headache disappeared as quickly as it cam on. Oh well.:confused:

Via SolarHam:

M7.3 Solar Flare Observed
"A moderately strong solar flare measuring M7.3 was just observed around region 2036 peaking at 13:03 UTC Friday morning. The flare itself was long in duration and a coronal mass ejection (CME) is likely. If a CME is associated, an Earth directed component will be possible. An event log for the M7.3 is now live at the link listed below. Stay tuned for the most up to date information. Imagery by SDO/EVE.

UPDATE: Energetic proton levels are now on the rise following the flare event. A minor radiation storm watch is now in effect.

Here is an updated look at the coronal mass ejection (CME) generated by the M7 event around region 2036 this morning.The video suggests the CME is full halo with a partial Earth directed component. More updates to follow once Earth facing LASCO imagery is available."

Well, at least it wasn't a X20+ flare... Right?

[Sidney]

You know, this may be a bit off topic, but kinda sorta on topic. lol But anyway, With all the solar activity going on, well today there was no chemtrailing at all until about an hour ago,and right now they are cheming the shsiit out of the sky right in front of the sun of course. So if they were trying to block energies from these activities, you would think they would be doing it during the mid day hours when the suns rays are stronger, and not at sunset which validates my earlier conclusions that they are indeed covering up something. I took a bunch of pictures, but it was through my dirty windshield :( So can't really see anything except for all the trails spreading over the sun. If there is something up there unusual, its buried in the windshield spots. IMO there is just no other reason to be covering the sun at sunset (and sunrise).

The Sun just keeps popping today. Is it me or just a lot more active.I realize you already loaded this picture but I'm still figuring things out and I'm happy I got it to work.

[Sidney]

Yeah, I am really feeling this one for some reason. Feel like I need to go running. But I hate running. LOL
I understand the sleep deprivation, although I have been sleeping ok the last few nights, I get insomnia on a regular basis so I feel your pain Wind. My biological clock is off anyway because I think I have adrenal burn out. And the suns tricks don't help with that any. I get these bursts of energy at 8 or 9 at night then can't go to sleep until 1 then I am totally fogged out in the mornings. Ugh, It is a battle.

[Fairy Friend]

I feel so spacey. And I'm definitely not alone woman left her purse at the vet when I took my dog there. and then when she retrieved it she couldn't remember which room her dog was in. Crazy. A lot of these energies give me insomnia and energize me 2.

was it triggered by a laser again they didn't want us to see?

still flaring, its been going on for over 6 hours already, the good news is the blast won't touch us...

an earth directed M flares set quakes off immediately, but the X-ray energy is hitting us from this X flare, indirectly and not causing quakes...

could there be a different energy that explodes outward capable of riding with the X-Ray energy? I consider X-rays like light spreading outward, maybe X-Ray is more directional than line of sight.

[MorningSong]

Here's what spaceweather.com is saying:


X-FLARE, RADIO BLACKOUT: Departing sunspot complex AR2035-AR2046 erupted on April 25th at 0032 UT, producing a strong X1.3-class solar flare and an HF communications blackout on the dayside of Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation from the explosion:http://spaceweather.com/images2014/25apr14/x1p3_strip.jpg

The explosion also produced a CME, but because the blast site was so close to the sun's western limb, the cloud is not heading toward our planet. The chance of a geomagnetic storm remains low.

[Zaya]

Oh man.. has anyone felt absolutely EXHAUSTED the last two days? I think it could be these huge flares. I have been so exhausted that I literally wanted to cry from it. I can barely function.

[Wind]

Shortly put, yes.

[Sidney]

Oh man.. has anyone felt absolutely EXHAUSTED the last two days? I think it could be these huge flares. I have been so exhausted that I literally wanted to cry from it. I can barely function.

Reading the stuff on this site a couple years ago validated that the symptoms are indeed related to the solar activity.

How Recent Solar Flares Are Affecting Humans ©Heather Carlini 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

www.carliniinstitute.com



Over the past year, we have been experiencing an intensive amount of solar activity on the Sun which is affecting both the Earth and Humans.

Scroll down the page for the latest posting on present solar activity from Spaceweather.com


Exactly what is a solar flare and how does it affect us?

A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears to be a particularly bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption such as in the above photograph. Solar flares release vast amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot. They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun.

There appears to be a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms and human biological effect especially after an ‘X’ class solar flare. The conduit, which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance is the same conduit which steers Earth’s weather through the Magnetic Field on Earth, and also through the magnetic fields around humans.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms appear to occur after intense solar activity on the sun.

Geomagnetic Activity on the Sun Influences our Thoughts

I have noticed in my own research that solar activity is known to affect human consciousness. Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System (stomach lining), all brain activity (including equilibrium), along with human behaviour and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response. Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems and heart palpitations, nauseous, queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches. Do you have any of the above lately? I am receiving e-mails from people in Canada, the U.S., South America, Japan, Greece, Malta, Belgium, Sweden, the UK, Australia etc. that all report the symptoms that I address after an episode of high solar flare activity. I have also experienced these symptoms myself as have many of my clients. Scientists don't seem to be addressing this, but we all know it is genuine as we are experiencing it first hand.

The solar flares and photon waves are changing the fabric of our physical reality as they have a dramatic effect on our physical cellular level, causing our cellular memories to awaken and clear. We often encounter this as the body heating up in the form of “hot flashes.” Our lower emotions are low frequency energy stored in our cells from past experiences and traumas that we have encountered and never processed —so they become stored as cellular memories. Photon energy is a much higher frequency energy that pulls up the lower emotional frequency so it can calibrate to the higher frequency; thus we find ourselves releasing these lower emotions of sadness and grief without knowing why. These spells will last for about twenty minutes, and we are left wondering where these feelings came from out of the blue. The elements of our blueprint are interfaced in the cellular consciousness, and when the blueprint is amplified through photon energies various elements of the blueprint leak into your consciousness and we begin to remember our soul’s purpose. We are pulled to make changes in our life, but we don’t actually understand why.

The interesting fact about this energy is that since it is of a higher frequency it creates the power of instant manifestation of our thoughts, which means whatever we think, we create instantly. This never before happened in our lifetime, and that is why many people are writing books on the subject on the Power of Attraction.

Photonic energy connects to our thoughts, so it is essential that we know what we want, rather than we don’t want; otherwise, we will manifest more of what we don’t want. If you are in the process of change and transformation, this energy works well for you. On the other hand, if you are stuck in the past through victimization and anger, you will certainly manifest more reasons to remain stuck in victimization until you are ready to release it.

(You will see the latest reports from Spaceweather.com as you scroll down the page.)

The Effects of Recent Solar Flares

Many people will jittery and un-easy during high solar flare activity. The solar flares can break apart old thought patterns that are no longer needed so new ones can emerge. This can make us feel the extremes of either hyperactivity and exhaustion. It can also wreck havoc with technology such as computers.

We began noticing many different symptoms. Time and space seem to be on a wobble even more erratically than before. We seem to be losing track of time easily. We lose words when we are speaking. The day simply disappears as time is moving quickly. Many are experiencing insomnia, and strange dreams. We are feeling immense power surges in the body followed by energy drops. There were numerous reports of nausea, and body aches and pains and dizziness. Many feel deep grief. Some feel as if they were walking on water (ungrounded). Others said that when they closed their eyes at night, everything is spinning. There have been visual disturbances, inner ear issues, ringing in ears, throat and thyroid issues, cold feet and even a unusual symptom of having tongue dryness. Are you experiencing any of this? This isn't anything to be afraid of, just be aware of what is happening and get extra rest and drink lots of water. This too shall pass.

Continuing Research on Solar Flare Activity
From Heather Carlini C.M.Ht.
Since we just had an X-Class Solar Flare... I am interested in hearing how it affected you as the symptoms from an X Class Flare are different than the M Class and the C Class Solar Flares over the next few hours into the 26th and 27th of April. Send me your comments and let me know what country you live in as I am hearing from people around the globe.
Thanks
Heather

I have been hearing from people all over the globe who are sharing with me their symptoms during high solar flare activity and I appreciate the response for my research. It is my intent to educate the public on the more positive aspects of what we are experiencing at present, and to give some suggestions and guidance.

We are currently experiencing high solar activity so be sure to drink extra water at along with cutting back on coffee, black tea and cola drinks as they dehydrate the body even more. Also you might want to take omega 3 and vitamin B complex to help with symptoms. If you are experiencing an upset stomach, tap on the cheekbones lightly under the eyes on both side of the face as this is the acupressure point for the stomach. Older folks, children and small animals have a tendency to become dehydrated easily, so make sure they are drinking water.

If you are having any strange symptoms such as excess body heat, pain in limbs, inflammation or irritation on the skin or internally etc. you are welcome to participate in my research by e-mailing me at heathercarlini@carliniinstitute.com. I am hearing from people all over the globe and would love to hear your input. Please tell me what country you are located in. Thanks folks.

PS: I address many of these troubling issues in my e-book called How Solar Flares Help You to Evolve available at http://store.carliniinstitute.com/

Heat Sensations in the Body and Red Face Syndrome Questionnaire

©Heather Carlini C.M.Ht. 2013-2014
Hi Folks, Heather Carlini here from the Carlini Institute. I continue to do extensive research into the effects of Solar Flares on the body during Solar Flares. During strong solar activity, I am hearing from people around the globe, and would love to hear from you if you are experiencing heat sensations in the body; red face syndrome; or any other symptoms during strong solar flare activity. If you are experiencing these symptoms but don’t know if there was a solar flare related, please check TheSunToday.com to see what they are reporting for the day. I also post them on my website at www.carliniinstitute.com.

Please pass this on to any groups you are on and have anyone with these symptoms contact me by filling out the questionnaire.

Here are the questions I would love to have you answer and send back to as soon as possible to heathercarlini@carliniinstitute.com

Please mention your name and country, as I am hearing from people around the globe.

1) At the time of the heat sensations, were they related to strong solar flare activity?
2) If so what class of solar flare C, M or X and the date.
3) Were you drinking water that day?
4) Did the heart race?
5) Did you find yourself having to go to the bathroom many times?
6) Did you feel anxious?
7) Did the body feel shaky?
8) Did you feel like you had a temperature and if so did you take your temperature reading?
9) Did the energy move to different parts of the body or was it generalized over all the body?
10) Did you feel confused?
11) Did you feel nauseous?
12) Was the energy in the main trunk of the body or was it from head to toe?
13) Did the energy move around the body?
14) Was your face red?
15) Did you feel dizzy or have vertigo?
16) Did you feel very emotional?
17) Did you experience skin inflammation? Was the skin itchy? Did it turn red or have welts? (describe).

18) Were you drinking lots of caffeinated drinks at the time?
Please note any other pertinent information related to this subject that you feel is important to this subject.
Thanks for participating in my research.

I just noticed an earth facing flare going off right now, I scrolled down and the yellow clouds just turned almost red, this is now an enormous storm rolling at the midwest...

Good observation.

[Fairy Friend]

Even though it does not look active now and I don't think there's a lot of sun spots that are facing us at the moment, we've had so many sun flares. I'm just expecting another one soon/ late this evening.

[Wind]

The chances for even M-class flares are slim, but you've been correct about those quakes before so we'll have to see.

M-Class: 15%
X-Class: 01%

[Fairy Friend]

Yea! the Sun does seem quiet. I'm going to enjoy the mellow energy finally. We have another Eclipse coming up soon. What fun.

[Fairy Friend]

We coming up on another Eclipse I believe. I'm expecting the activity to pick up tonight or early morning. The Sun its quiet now but I wouldn't be surprised at another flare. Just to set things in motion. I thought I sense some things before but everytime I check its just a little bump or fluctuation. Sure seems like it wasn't very long of a quiet time.

[Sidney]

Well a little while ago I felt a little twinge of solar headache, so I looked at the movies and lo and behold there are ten missing hours of todays footage and LOTS of activity in the locale. You can clearly see a hot area at the bottom of the fram near the end of today, that was not hot at the beginning, but we don't know what ocurred in those ten hours.

[Fairy Friend]

Yeah I could feel like the xrays were up again. Next thing you know another round the earth quakes. I just have a funny deja vu feeling like this is going like clockwork. We've been through this before. Even the missing data feels like deja vu.

[Wind]

I had headache too, very rare for me. Also yesterday I was energized by a lovely energy which was tingling in my spine... Today I'm feeling tired and spaced out.

[Wind]

Fairy Friend, Sidney, are you feeling anything regarding the current energies? My body tells that something is going on again. My head is pulsating. Just a moment ago I felt that I was "floating", weird.

Also, FF, since you're interested in quake and sun activity, this is what Suspicious0bservers said in last nights news:

"No earth facing coronal holes. Spaceweather is quiet… more quiet than normal. Planetary geometry is low of medium significance until early May. Does this mean we can’t have quakes? NO! But they would not be able to be correlated with space factors – remember that the pressure is always building beneath our feet, and absent the space triggers they WOULD eventually release."

He is my main source among SolarHam (http://solarham.net/) when it comes to spaceweather. Dutchsinse is good too when it comes to earthquakes.

[Sidney]

I slept very well last night, and feel pretty good so far today, no headache which is unusual for me. But the energies are at play at different places at different times as you can see by all the weather going on in the southern/eastern US. Those storms are definitely fueled by the sun, and expecially when there is a lot of electrical storm activity like these current stroms hold. I am still wondering about the 10 missing hours of footage, and you can clearly see if you watch the video that IS available, that Santa and Co. were playing rudolph games throughout.

[Fairy Friend]

I am a fan of Dutchsinse yes this pressure through tectonic plates bumping each other. I put that out 15 years ago. There are statistical patterns. He has developed it far more than I could ever hope to. I combine both psychic intuition and what's going on with the plates and the Sun (a recent connection? 1-2yrs?) and maybe a few other factors (sun) to make predictions. No one told me I could not do it this way. But I try not to listen to anyone else before I make my own predictions or It biases me.

I am sensing some things going on I keep checking surprise something hasn't already occurred. I keep checking even knowing they keep taking data out.
How about anyone else? I still feel something.

[Fairy Friend]

Indeed, it has revved up the storms.

I must confess originally when I first saw this thread, I thought you were only discussing how the Sun relates to feelings or physical sensations etc. Not that that is not important. It maybe how people sense earthquakes coming even myself included. It was not until recently that I realized there were a lot of people here that have not only made connections to gravity, planetary alignment, comets, the Sun, plate tectonics and how it works (not just P & S waves) and are trying to connect the dots even farther. I'm so glad I was wrong. There's even a lot more people who connect the dots between the Sun and weather another hobby of mine. And you have introduced me too many other resources.

[Fairy Friend]

Looks like there is a bit off solar energy out there.

yes, I felt it yesterday too, and although I slept well last night I had weird dreams all night. I am feeling the energies tonight though, just a weird energy and a slight headache.

[Fairy Friend]

Things still a bit Un-settled but it could be much worse. Could be better. Feeling very tired myself. Pretty blank on any predictions.

[Wind]

No new images after this, Soho (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/) always censors the data.

Wow thanks. I wondered why I woke up this morning absolutely EXHAUSTED. I cannot seem to wake up or get my head on straight. I couldn't sleep well once the sun rose, either, even though I could have slept aother hour or so. Now it makes sense...

[MorningSong]

Yesterday the sun popped off 2 M-class flares (1.8 at 09:03 UTC and 1.0 at 22:09 UTC).

Here's what they're saying at spaceweather.com:


PARTING SHOT: The odds of a geoeffective solar flare are dropping as sunspot AR2051 rotates off the visible solar disk. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded this parting shot during the late hours of May 6th:

http://spaceweather.com/images2014/07may14/partingshot_strip.jpg

This plume of plasma, propelled away from the sun's surface by an M-class explosion in the sunspot's magnetic canopy, is as tall as a dozen planet Earths. Much of the material escaped the sun in the form of a coronal mass ejection (CME), not Earth-directed.

Stronger blasts are possible on May 7th. The sunspot has a 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for powerful X-flares. Any such eruptions, however, will almost surely miss our planet as AR2051 heads for the farside of the sun.
