Solar Activity Watch 2011

Gotta love how SOHO and STEREO just stopped with the Lovejoy feed once it got close to the Sun. We would have seen it come out the other side by now, aside from SDO. You'd think it would be up to date so we could see the comet's full flight past the sun.

In any case here's the journey with footage at the end from SDO showing it's survival!

I don't know what you mean. The complete sequence is available for both C2 and C3.

This was at the time of the comet. I got too ahead of myself.

On another note, the Sun has shot out several earth-bound CMEs amidst a developing coronal hole in the past 24 hours, one of which is confirmed to be a mid range M-class. The 28th to the 30th should be interesting.

Fox News picked up the story.
CME heading our way but ......

Speed is slower than the Carrington Event.

According to Wikipedia, it only took 18 hours for the Carrington CME to reach the Earth.

When you read the article, you will see more - glancing- taking place.

I predict the glancing to continue until the magnetic poles flip around the month of February 2012.

Spaceweather shows a direct hit on Mars but the CME comes close to Earth.

The animated GIF reveals the truth.
