Roll maneuver? Does that mean they will point the camera away from the sun so we cant see anything? Because I wouldnt be surprised.

About 7 minutes, but particles and energy from solar flares etc take much longer because they don't travel at the speed of light.

I'm no scientist, but I know this much.

I've never seen such spectacular energy outputs, normally there's just sort of a set of small rays, nothing ever like this.


Before we get scared, what are your qualifications and experience with this?

For example, is "nothing ever like this" since you started watching last week? Or what. =)

thanks

As of 11:46am Pacific time, October 26, 2009, this site was still down:
sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov...

I got that URL directly from a link at nasa.gov (which is up).

Very strange, we start getting reports of crazy sun blasts and then they take down the website.

I think if that is real, we are pretty much going to have blackouts...

Good thing is the auroras will be easier to see....

It could always be a massive lens flare from the rotation it's doing at the moment.

However, the website states the images would be inverted or side ways during the turn, and that one looks just fine.

Where is Phage when you need him? lol

I've been watching regularly for over two years now, and trust me, I've never seen such an image before. Anyone who's been watching for longer can correct me, but this was/is a pretty spectacular sight. I caught just before the site went down, i check it several times a day just to comapare with the magnetosphere images from here:

Not saying anything bad is happening, just that it's extremely unusual.
