Sun Stuff: What's up!

[Rocky_Shorz]

we had a flare pop if you look at the animation earlier on the page.

this one will be rolling through as a solar stream is passing, positive and negative energy peaking at the same time, wasn't big but keep an eye on it ~3rd

[Rocky_Shorz]

for those that are feeling a little dizzy, a huge flare is popping off right now to the left, doesn't register as strong, but it is long...

Oh Doesn't look earth directed but its big enough it could indeed turn into a full halo. Yeah, I am dizzy. But I thought I was just having a blonde moment.

[Rocky_Shorz]

you're funny...

well when a flare is going on, we are hit from the flash of the X-Rays 9 minutes from when it starts and continue to be hit until the flare finishes... 2 hour flare-up, 2 hour X-ray. the energy wave needs to be directed towards us for it to affect the earth and us 3-5 days later...

Hi Rocky I appreciate all you bring to the forum and thanks for this simple explanation
I appreciate simple.
Had a dizzy today that's the first time in ages.

we really haven't been having a lot of flares lately, last summer 2-3 a day, it was nuts. think it set off the Japan Quake?

we have a wave coming that hasn't reached us yet, but are in a solar stream...

combo of that and X-ray may be the cause...

[Sidney]

I have an itchy feeling that things may ramp up a bit in the next few months. That is not based on anything but just a gut feeling.
But I've been wrong once before (he still gives me problems. LOL)

[Wind]

Something is definitely going on.

incoming... with an earth directed about to pop with an energy wave from the last one due in the next few days...

[Sidney]

Is it just me or is there an uptick in coronal holes. I don't remember all those holes last time I looked. They were spraying the s*** out of the skies today.

[Wind]

Those darn coronal holes make me feel really dizzy.

[Rocky_Shorz]

that was almost a C-class that just popped and still showing orange swinging towards us, looks like the wave from that one will be brushing us. but looks weak...

huge Quake Swarm down by our Ausie buds...

lots going on the last few days so I'm updating from Spaceweather.com

COMET LEMMON UPDATE: Glowing much brighter than expected, Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6) is gliding through the skies of the southern hemisphere about 92 million miles (0.99 AU) from Earth. Amateur astronomer Rolf Wahl Olsen sends this picture from his backyard in Auckland, New Zealand:



LOUD SOLAR RADIO BURST: Last Saturday, Feb. 2nd, the solar activity forecast called for "quiet." In fact, says amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft, "it was really loud. There were several strong solar radio emissions including one super-strong Type III burst at 1954 UT. I captured it at 28 MHz and 21.1 MHz as it totally drowned out a shortwave voice transmission." Click to listen:

The source of the burst was sunspot AR1667, which unleashed a C2.9-class solar flare just before the roar emerged from the loudspeaker of Ashcraft's radio telescope. Type III solar radio bursts are produced by electrons accelerated to high energies (1 to 100 keV) by solar flares. As the electrons stream outward from the sun, they excite plasma oscillations and radio waves in the sun's atmosphere. When these radio waves head in the direction of Earth, they make themselves heard in the loudspeakers of shortwave radios around the dayside of the planet...

Finally, the Sun is awakening from its long winter sleep (lol) with a moderate flare, a C8.7 around 00:24 UTC!

DOUBLE ERUPTION (UPDATED): Sunspot AR1667 erupted this morning (Feb. 6th @ 00:21 UT), producing a double-peaked C9-class solar flare that lasted more than ten hours from beginning to end. The slowly-unfolding explosion also hurled two CMEs into space. The clouds are not heading directly for Earth, but they could deliver glancing blows to our planet's magnetic field on Feb. 9-10. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

Click to view a full-disk movie of the eruption recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:



A close-up of the blast site shows an inky-dark plume of plasma spiralling away from the explosion. The darkness of the material is a sign that it was extra-dense and cool relative to the surrounding atmosphere of the sun.

simple info here to help bring understanding, personally I do try to follow these things why get more exposure than we need.

Your efforts are appreciated by me for one. love and light friend.

Asteroid To Pass Earth In Record Near Miss
Asteroid 2012 DA14 is about to pass closer to Earth than any other identified flying object since records began.

Looks like potentially earth facing CME is getting ready to launch.
