Solar filament eruption and weak, C5.2 flare from yesterday in AR 13397. This event also appears to be associated with a CME.

@NanoBookReview #NuclearWaste storage has not been solved. Transporting said waste has not been solved. Dealing with #ClimateChange and #Extremeweather and potential #Cyberattacks or #SolarFlare / #NuclearWar shortages of fuel for keeping plants cool in a crisis have not been solved. BZZZZZT! Wrong answer!

I've just spent from 12:30 Zulu to now going down a rabbit hole the White Rabbit totally approve of, and all started with looking at this, https://britastro.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/UKRAA-Magnetometer-for-website.pdf, then the Labjack DAC and radio skypipe software and how to put the data on a website in real time... #ScienceMastodon #astronomy #planetaryscience #solarflare #spaceweather

The X-class solar flare that took place earlier today was accompanied by supra-arcade downflows, dark tadpole-shaped features that appear descending above flare arcades. (Footage courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA science team.)

SADs are thought to be produced by fast magnetic reconnection outflows above flare arcades; however, this notion is challenged by the fact that SADs are observed to travel much slower than predicted by reconnection theories.

Yikes! I hope AR 3386 calms down before it becomes Earth-facing again (in about 2 weeks).

Another X-Flare!
August 7, 2023 @ 20:50 UTC

"Now located behind the west limb, AR 3386 just unleashed another X-Flare. The latest event was an X1.5 at 20:46 UTC (Aug 7). Due to the location behind the limb, it is possible that it could have been somewhat stronger than detected. Any associated CME will be directed away from Earth. More to follow whenever necessary."

#CME Update:

August 6, 2023 @ 12:10 UTC

"The X1.6 solar flare around AR 3386 was responsible for the second of two halo CMEs on Saturday. The first CME was the result of a long duration M-Flare/Filament eruption earlier in the day. Both appear to have an Earth directed component with glancing blows possible beginning August 8th. The combination could generate minor (G1) to moderate (G2) storming at higher latitudes. Aurora sky watchers should be alert beginning Tuesday.

"UPDATE: The latest NOAA/SWPC update is reporting that the second CME (X1.6 Flare) will be a miss. Even with that forecast, I still believe that the eastern flank could still graze past Earth."

Auroras are possible tonight and tomorrow night due to a fairly powerful solar flare. Watch here for details:

"A SIGNIFICANT EXPLOSION ON THE SUN (UPDATED): We've been waiting for this. Big sunspot AR3363 just produced a significant #SolarFlare, a long-duration M6-class event during the early hours of July 18th. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast near the sun's southwestern limb:

"Energetic protons accelerated by the flare have reached Earth and are now peppering the top of our planet's atmosphere. This is called a 'radiation storm.' According to data from NOAA's GOES-16 satellite, it is a category S2 event.

"Although the explosion was not X-class, it was more powerful than many X-flares would be. Why? Because it lasted so long. The flare's X-ray output was above M5 for more than an hour and above M1 for nearly 4 hours. It had plenty of time to lift a substantial CME out of the sun's atmosphere.

"Indeed, #SOHO coronagraphs have since detected a bright CME emerging from the blast site
Although the #CME is not heading directly for Earth, it appears to have an Earth-directed component. A NASA model suggests it could deliver an effective glancing blow as early as July 20th (0000 UT). NOAA is doing their own modeling, and results should be available soon.

"Our preliminary forecast: The CME's flank will reach Earth on July 20th. Its impact could spark G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms, with a slight chance of G3. Stay tuned."

A very active sun today with many solar RF bursts (radio wave emissions from the sun).

@bibianaprinoth we're hoping to get unprecedentedly high time resolution spectral images of the solar chromosphere testing wavelengths right around Lyman alpha. We're planning on launching during a #SolarFlare so we can observe the changes happening on a second to second scale. We also want to see solar spicules, which help transfer an unknown about of heat and mass from the photosphere to the corona.

#SolarMaximum could hit us harder and sooner than we thought. How dangerous will the sun's chaotic peak be?

The sun is quickly approaching a major peak in solar activity. Experts warn it could potentially begin by the end of 2023, years before initial predictions suggested.

By Harry Baker, June 23, 2023

"Originally, scientists predicted that the current solar cycle would peak in 2025. But a bumper crop of sunspots, solar storms and rare solar phenomena suggest solar maximum could arrive by the end of this year at the earliest — and several experts told Live Science we are poorly prepared. "
