| From: Gersh Avery | 9/18/2012 7:54:02 PM | | | | | | INCOMING ACTIVE REGIONS: Solar activity has been low for more than a week. This could change in the days ahead as a pair of active regions rotates onto the Earthside of the sun. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the signs of their approach during the early hours of Sept. 18th:
Pictured above are the magnetic canopies of sunspots. Plasma-filled magnetic loops towering more than 50,000 km above the sun's eastern limb herald the approach of the active regions, possibly turning a pair of flare centers toward Earth as the week unfolds. Amateur astronomers witth backyard solar telescopes should train their optics on the eastern limb; solar activity is in the offing. |

Due to spike at 11AM today. Lasting most of rest of the day.
Persons with compromised CNS conditions, such as MS, may wish to avoid the light at that time.

Note: flares are measured in classes C, M and X. C being the smallest and X being the largest.
X-FLARE: New sunspot AR1598 has erupted again. On Oct. 23rd at 0322 UT, Earth orbiting satellites detected a strong X1-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:
Radiation from the flare created waves of ionization in the upper atmosphere over Asia and Australia (the daylit side of Earth) and possibly HF radio blackouts at high latitudes. The blast did not, however, produce a significant coronal mass ejection (CME). No auroras are expected to result from the blast.
This is the 4th significant flare from AR1598 since it emerged over the southeastern limb only two days ago. This means more flares are probably in the offing, and they will become increasingly Earth-directed as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead. Stay tuned for updates. |
