Sunspot 1117 Update / C-Class flares (October 25)

[Richard]

Big Sunspot 1117 has produced numerous C-Class flares within the past 12 hours. There will continue to be the chance for C-Class flares and perhaps a smaller chance of an M-Class event. This region continues to become better organized magnetically and there is some polarity mixing taking place towards the center of this group.

Well we certainly have an increase in earth activities at the moment!!

A BIG SUNSPOT GETS BIGGER: Behemoth sunspot 1117 is not merely growing, it is transmogrifying. Click on the image to launch a two-day movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (8 MB):



Since yesterday, the shape-shifting sunspot has developed a "beta-gamma" magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares. Any such eruptions will likely be geoeffective because the sunspot is almost-squarely facing Earth. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments.

All the earths seismographs going off at the same time!!!!

Strange... New Zealand was flatline...

Solar energy is absorbed into the Tech plates, and like a capacitor when the energy lvls get too high it releases by shifting...

since the poles are lit up in bright colorful auroras is it possible the energy is somehow absorbed and didn't charge the plates in the antarctic region?

How vunerable we are:eek:

Is avids post #5 above correct---have ALL of the worlds seismographs been going of at the same time over the last few days ? Has this ever happened before ?

Earth can shake it up 20-30 times a day and it's normal. It would take one of our researchers here at PA some time to pour over the data and correlate times etc. to confirm at that date everything that the vid claims. However a quck search of the USGS database returns the following:

The graphic below shows global seismic stations with red dots and the past 12 hours of activity with the blue stars.

(The above graphic is updated every 30 minutes so this post can be used as quick a reference)

Current graphs: http://aslwww.cr.usgs.gov/Seismic_Data/heli2.shtml

I do expect global seismic and volcanic activity to increase dramatically now that SC24 is well underway amongst other things. The comings months and likely next 4 years are going to be a wild ride for us Earthlings.
Enjoy the ride the best you can :)

Thanks Richard,

every time I look at Lasco 3 my heart pounds seeing something that just might be...

but, looking at the You tube Vid of the person working at one of the centers sharing with us the seismographs from around the world that went off on the 25th... They weren't the type of graph you would see registering a small quake from thousands of miles away, it was "pinned" top to bottom continuously at all the locations... Has anyone tried to contact the person on the VID yet for more info?

It might help answer a few important questions...

Is the solar activity going on raising the vibration of our planet and the effects are showing up on electronic monitoring equipment?

or

did we just get an ultimatum by ETs like the one in '64 warning that starting another war at this time would be unwise?

I was told we have ships sitting between us and the sun absorbing energy...

did they stop and allow all the rays to hit us, to give "the elites" an idea what would happen without help?


soo many questions...

Hi, Folks:

From http://spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html


M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare.

Even if we get an M-class event from sunspot 1117, this seems unlikely to cause a serious problem.
