pretty cool cloud pic...

On August 1st, Ken Rotberg observed a pair of rainbow-colored saucers over Delray Beach, Florida --but they weren't UFOs. The technical term is pileus clouds:

I was sure I had posted the spaceweather.com update....oh well, Thanks, Rocky!

Undead filament. Lol. Exciting times.

[Rocky_Shorz]

when I first spotted that vine, I knew it was bad, but the video description should have us all on the edge of our seats...

[MorningSong]

A yet-to-be-numbered active region in the southwestern hemisphere of the sun (S14 E88) has made its presence known today showing off with 3 significant flares: a C9.4 at 00:45 UTC, an M1.6 at 04:41 UTC and a C6.3 at 08:21 UTC.... Although these flares are not expected to be very geoeffective, let's keep an eye on this spot for the next 2 weeks.



From spaceweather.com:

CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters estimate a 25% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on August 7/8. That's when a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurled into space by a filament eruption on Aug. 4 could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field.

We need to watch out for a possible filament eruption, too... the "vine" is now center stage:

That "vine" looks to me to be earth facing.. Is it?

[MorningSong]

By "center stage", I mean Earth facing, yes.

Well dont need any videos to tell me what's center stage as whatever has been coming around yesterday and today is IMpactful! Another experience im noticing regularly is increased neck and shoulder pain during high intensity moments with the "sun" ....was pretty heavy this morning..as if a planet were sitting at the crux of my neck...felt so strong i could vomit...

However i was lucky enough to have someone work it out for me which helped a great deal. She said "what did u do to yourself" I thought i have no idea as i am under no stress right now in personal life...its actually the least its been for most of my life. So chiming in....

OK, folks! Now I am really confused!

First I must ask for your patience; my dyslexia is worsening with age and that in itself doesn't help you who are reading my posts. I will try to take more time proofing before hitting the "submit" button, I promise! But....

Yesterday, I reported on 3 important flares that had occured. I wrote that these flares originated from the SW (see the post....oops), but they were definately on the SE side; see the pict I posted from SolarHam.net and I even wrote in my post, copied from SolarSoft, the coordinants of the flares.....

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post533483

Today, checking out the list of events again, I noticed that the location of the flares that I reported yesterday have been changed:

http://www.lmsal.com/solarsoft/latest_events/

The first one (the C9.4, the one on SolarHam.net) has been taken OFF the data lists and the other 2 (M1.6 and C6.3) have been accreditted to a totally different (unnumbered sunspot?) active region on the NorthWESTERN side of the Earth-facing part of the sun (N33W12 and N32W13). Here are the new picts.





In the pict I posted (from SolarHam.net), you can clearly see the "vine" filament" on the RIGHT, so this flare WAS on the SouthEastern side! I hate that I didn't post the picts of the other 2.

So....

What do you make of all this? Were the pictograms read (mounted) incorrectly? And how is that possible?

I'm just going nuts... I reckon.

[Rocky_Shorz]

the Lasco images were flipped yesterday over on .mil, so you aren't the only one confused...

maybe it was the Manhattenhenge...

[CD7]

OR take the train trackoffthehenge effect

[Rocky_Shorz]

this map is still positioned the same and looks like the black spots are fading...

This image just screams ACTIVE sun! It's also very beautiful.

[Rocky_Shorz]

we are trying to talk the mods into putting that one up at the top to watch activity...

is knowing aurora important?



why in the antarctic is the majority of energy on the Ausies and Zealanders?

related to quakes and volcanoes?

[MorningSong]

I peek at the aurora data to get an idea of the extent of ionization (good or bad?) in the upper atmosphere. It's often an alarm for me that there is a solar storm in progress when the level is high (7-10).

I also hope to see the auroras again.... I'm such a romantic! lol

Back to business....

Here's the latest from SuspiciousObservers:

Solar Update
Sunspot 1542 produced a solar flare reaching C8.4 at 11:47 UTC this morning. There are currently 7 visible sunspot groups on the Earth facing side of the Sun. A moderate solar flare reaching M1.0+ may be possible today.

Entire footage of 8-09-2012 missing. Anybody know what kind of activity may have caused this??

[CD7]

Hummm odd photo..anyone know why it looks like this?
