3rd OCTOBER - THE BIGGEST ONE IS COMING SOON !!

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

COURTESY OF SPACEWEATHER.COM - TELLS US WHAT WILL HAPPEN VERY SOON !!!

" MULTIPLE CMES ARE COMING: NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms on Oct. 4th when multiple CMEs might sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. Most of the incoming CMEs were hurled into space by sunspot AR3110, which unleashed a series of strong flares (M5.9, M8.7, X1) over the weekend. During G2-class storms, naked-eye auroras can descend into the United States as low as New York and Idaho. Aurora alerts: SMS Text

A BIG DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: One of the biggest sunspots in years has just rotated over the sun's northeastern limb. Introducing, AR3112:

(SDO IMAGE ON TODAY'S SPACEWEATHER.COM WEBSITE)


AR3112 has more than a dozen dark cores scattered across 130,000 km of solar terrain, making it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. Don't have a solar filter? Use the projection method, instead.

The image above is a magnetic map of the sun's surface with a white light photo of AR3112 inset. It shows what makes this sunspot group so dangerous. Positive and negative magnetic polarities are bumping together--an explosive mixture that could produce an X-class solar flare.

The emergence of AR3112 already fully formed and unstable could herald two weeks of high solar activity as the sunspot group transits the solar disk, facing Earth the whole time. "

THANKS EVERBODY FOR YOUR RESPONSES.

THANKS JAMES FOR YOUR HEALTH-CONCERNS, WHERE NO IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED SOON.

RAINER, I TRUST THE EARTHQUAKES CAUSE NO INJURY TO BOTH LIVES AND PROPERTY.

I WOULD ONLY GUESS ALEXANDRA THAT THERE WILL BE SOME CLEAR SKIES OVER THE NEXT TEN DAYS (OR SO) AND CERTAINLY SOMEWHERE AROUND THE GLOBE..

It's a really EASY target, even with a pair of 8x32 solar binoculars.

THANK U JAMES.
I DON'T POSSES SUNOCULARS, BUT HAVE SEEN THE SUN AND THIS MORNINGS EVENTS WITH MY IMAGE-STABILIZED BINOS, AS WELL AS MY MUCH HEAVIER CELESTRON SKYMASTER 25X70 BINOS (ON ITS' TRIPOD AND BOTH SOLAR-FILTERED OF COURSE) GIVING THE MAGNIFICANT VIEWS OF THE ACTION.

ALSO BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED IN THE EVENING/NIGHT SPENT SOME TIME VIEWING THE NIGHT SKY WITH ITS' PLETHORA OF PLANETS (ONE AFTER THE OTHER) AS WELL AS THE MANDATORY QUICKY OF ANDROMEDA ETC., ON A CALM/WARM AND VERY CLEAR SKIES...

CLEAR SKIES

Terry,
25x70 binos should give wonderful views! You should have no trouble seeing the umbra and penumbra around the larger spots!

MANY THANKS JAMES, VALERY AND MARK & Soendergaard.

INDEED THE BIGGER BINOS SHOW SO WELL THE INTERNALS OF THE SPOTS.

THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE DONE TO ME, IF I AND WHENEVER I AM ABLE TO GET BACK TO NORMAL/DAILY OPERATIONS OF FORECASTING/IMAGING AND REPLYING TO THE VARIOUS POSTS ON SOLARCHAT (AS WELL AS TYPING THESE WITHOUT THE NEED TO USE JUST CAPITAL LETTERS).

CLEAR SKIES
TERRY
