Bug Out !!! - Coronal Mass Ejection

a reply to: imitator

ah, they removed the x-10 thread. I was wondering where it went.

It could trigger a tipping point by providing Hurricane Irma with additional torsion flux ..

This made me laugh.

Where did everybody go??!!

Man, living in a different time-zone is no fun!! By the time I get around to things, it has already been posted on ATS and every one has bugged out!

Even the Apocalypse will be started by the time I wake up!

Lemme see. Where did I leave my DUMB keys?...

[BTW: Carrington Event was estimated to be X-23 so I do not get excited until we push X-15 and we already had shortwave radio blackouts on Europe, Africa side of the flat earth, so I think I will miss the whole thing!]

They bugged out due to an upcoming M-Class Solar Flare. Havent you heard ?
Geez Loise , you really do live in a different time zone
And , apparently dont read the thread title either ?
I myself am waiting for the Gamma Ray burst from a nearby supernova explosion. The ones we cant forsee.

Half-way through everyone switched over to the solar flare. Why mess with a good thing?!



It was all about the time-zone thing anyway. And me always being a day late and a buck short! Or in this case, being late to my own funeral!

An X9.3 flare (R3-Strong radio blackout) occurred on 6 September at 1202 UTC (0802 ET). This flare followed an X2.2 flare (R3 also) at 0910 UTC (0610 ET). The source region for both flares was Region 2673.Radio emissions suggest a coronal mass ejection (CME) may be associated with the X9.3 flare, but we await SOHO/LASCO coronagraph imagery for confirmation. We will update this post when we are able to analyze coronagraph imagery. Keep checking our SWPC webpage for the latest information and updates.

Waiting on the CME confirmation.

I damn well hope both of us are "years late"
Peace

And the thread earlier about it got removed. I'm getting a bit skeptical

Guess they want to hide this ya blocking it now again it just a facebook link

Just go too facebook and check out SUN Watch page
something up

Sun Watch has a vid it look Awesome and very big

OK it being block
ok now

linky

I think the sun's been pretty active for the past several days.

We had a beautiful northern lights display hanging over our heads on Saturday night when we were sitting in the backyard having a bonfire and drinkypoos with our neighbours.

A gorgeous combination of greens and pinks waving across the sky, they were so bright and directly over us that it almost felt like you could reach up and touch them.

I haven't seen the auroras like that in quite a few years.

Hopefully the next couple of nights will be another great show.

Agreed.
We still have members referring to the latest flare as M- class, when spaceweather.com has listed the second if the two latest flares as an X-9.3. Not anything to worry about, but why direct us to a thread that is doom-pornish when the other thread was accurate... and not doomy?

Ya incoming 9.3

Should I go lather up in SPF 200 or wtf do I do? Are we really toast or what? I sure f*cking hope so, at this point. #HellOnEarth

So we've had an M5 (Tuesday), then an X2 (today), and now an X9 (today again)...

Is that correct ?

I'm digging around though trying to find out what may have shot our way on maybe Wednesday or Thursday of last week that gave us that awesome Northern Lights display on Saturday night.

But I can't seem to find any info, does anybody else know maybe ?

On the 2nd there was some mild geomagnetic storming (Kp5).

There weren't really any CMEs that were Earth directed during the period before that but there was a fair amount of coronal hole activity. Coronal holes produce what is known as a "fast" solar wind. The data for that shows a "south" turn in the Bz component of the solar wind at the time so that could be the culprit.
