Sun Watch Options

[elreb]

I do not think that it was an area of space, with a lack of matter, that left the sun, but something of substance of some sort.

I understand that we have 98 naturally occurring elements with 18 being radioactive.

Most, if not all of these elements are either a solid, liquid or a gas.

If they have weight…we call it “Mass”.

Does gravity or force have mass?

Does attraction/repulsion have weight?

Most, if not all of these elements are either a solid, liquid or a gas.

let's not forget plasma and non-massless photons, practically massless neutrinos and negative mass anti-particles..otherwise carry on (though not luggage).

They call them magnetic filaments,and they are darker and above the solar surface. i don't think they are made of just magnetic fields.
My guess is that they are made of protons. It grows, and when enough of a positive charge builds up, it repels, all at once, from the sun, with a flare or CME.

It has been repeated, that solar activity is hard to predict.

i haven't heard much about Patric Geryl, howtosurvive2012.com for a while, but he claims to have figured out how to accurately predict solar activity based on planetary alignments.

From George Ure's site, urbansurvival.com

1. Large solar storms are induced by 2 or more planets heliocentrically aligned with the Sun. This means that the centre of the combined planets has to go through the centre of the Sun

2. 2 or more planets that heliocentrically align on the opposite sides of the Sun

3. Combinations of the above.

For instance take the 4-7 March date

First Mars and Earth line up with the Sun Then Mercurius and Venus

X5.4 Flare on 3/7/2012 @ 00:24 UTC - Sunspot 1429

We give here the dates that we expect solar events, due to planetary alignments:

March 21st 2012

April 22nd 2012

May 25th

June 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th

June 25th till 27th 2012

July 29th

August 12th 2012

August 22nd till 28th 2012

September 21st 2012

October 3rd 2012

October 14th till 22nd 2012

November 13th 2012

December 3rd 2012

BTW he says that the Big One is on Dec 20th 2012.

(edit) fixed the link for George

Sounds reasonable…

Anyway, the solar wind blows.
intro, NASA hiding data?:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUeqkwzykM4

Something happened to the Earth around the 12/13th of March.
The solar wind, instead of "blowing" from the sun past the Earth,
was blowing the other direction past the Earth.

i have never heard of this happening before:
Starts 1:15

Time to check the magnetic compass?

[lunk]

Hmmm, i was wondering what sort of explanation would come from NASA...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLIOCKFsbPI

Solar activity caused the readouts in all their different equipment to be incorrectly showing the same event happening over many hours, so they removed the data after it was posted.

We can safely go back to sleep in security of knowing the experts are in charge...

According to NASA [an agency of the US federal government] employ 18,800 persons

Believe it or not…they are asking for $1.88 billion for 2013. Isn’t that like $1 million per person? [Or is it 10 million?]

I understand that “Extra Virgin Olive Oil” is better than Vaseline!

Yawn…Ho -hum...

Supernova Turned Star Inside-Out

When the star Cassiopeia A exploded, nearly all the iron from the core was expelled to the outer regions of the supernova. John Matson reports.

Will suggest that Una and Martin go and get themselves a cold shower!

They are very welcome to do this together, for all i care!

Solar Flare Creates Puzzling Particle Pulse on Earth


(IMG:http://i.space.com/images/i/16684/original/sdo-solar-flare-april-16-2012.jpg)

A moderate solar flare on May 17 lit up ground stations all over the world with an unexpected and puzzling pulse of high-energy particles. It should not have happened, and scientists are now trying to figure out why it did.

Major solar flares, flashes of light at various wavelengths often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are known to disrupt communications and can even trip power grids on Earth. But the May 17 flare was an M-class event, moderate and relatively common and not expected to create disturbances on the surface of Earth. Yet either the flare or the CME generated a ground-level enhancement (GLE), a blast of high-energy particles that lit up ground stations called neutron monitors on Earth for the first time in nearly six years.

Scientists don’t expect an M-class flare to create a GLE.

“This solar flare was most unimpressive and the associated CME was only slightly more energetic,” said James Ryan, an astrophysicist at the University of New Hampshire Space Science Center (SSC). “And looking at it optically, it was remarkably dim, it was, all things considered, a 98-pound weakling of solar events.”

Data on the event was captured by the European satellite called PAMELA, or Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics. Ryan is a co-investigator on the PAMELA mission, and hopes the spacecraft data will reveal how the high-energy particles morphed on their way to Earth and resulted in the mysterious GLE.

Scientists don’t know if the extremely energetic particles registered on the ground are the results of a shockwave in front of a CME or if the particles come from the solar flare itself.

“The PAMELA satellite provides us with a bridge that has never existed before,” says Ryan, “a bridge between solar energetic particles measured by other spacecraft and those made on the ground by neutron monitors.”

Until the data is studied, however, the May 17 event remains a mystery.
