Space Weather, Auroras, Solar Flares and CMEs

[Parsons]

only major flares noticably affect the energy body... there was one last year that made me like 3x more energetic for 1-2 days

this one is minor.

when the green line is halfway up the shart, pst.

If I see that, will do.

ALMOST-X FLARE AND CME (UPDATED): This morning, Jan. 23rd around 0359 UT, big sunspot 1402 erupted, producing a long-duration M9-class solar flare. The explosion's M9-ranking puts it on the threshold of being an X-flare, the most powerful kind.

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft detected a CME rapidly emerging from the blast site: movie. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say the leading edge of the CME will reach Earth on Jan. 24 at 14:18UT (+/- 7 hours). Their animated forecast track shows that Mars is in the line of fire, too; the CME will hit the Red Planet during the late hours of Jan. 25.

This is a relatively substantial and fast-moving (2200 km/s) CME. Spacecraft in geosynchronous, polar and other orbits passing through Earth's ring current and auroral regions could be affected by the cloud's arrival. In addition, strong geomagnetic storms are possible, so high-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

This one is much stronger than the last one (M.3), so I thought it was worth pointing out.

RADIATION STORM IN PROGRESS: Solar protons accelerated by this morning's M9-class solar flare are streaming past Earth. On the NOAA scale of radiation storms, this one ranks S3, which means it could, e.g., cause isolated reboots of computers onboard Earth-orbiting satellites and interfere with polar radio communications...

^^If you are wondering why communications suck / your TV is getting bad reception or whatever today (if any of us even still watch TV, I don't ).

Last but not least, the beautiful results of the last CME:

[Meerie]

A friend of mine was just attacked on the train and yesterday evening some nutcase was shrieking and yelling in front of our house...
could it be the incoming CME causes some people to freak out?

[Parsons]

I don't know... The solar radiation storm has been going on this whole time though (at least a couple days). Was an S3, finally downgraded to a S2. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/ I have felt extremely anxious all day and somewhat so last night. I have no idea if its just a coincidence or not.

[Meerie]

Imo it makes sense... our bodies are electrical in nature and if we are bombarded with electromagnetic energy, I would think that anxiety, hyperactivity, nervousness might be a possible reaction.

Different people will react in different ways. Just like Pagans love full Moon energies, while criminals tend to increase their murders, rapes etc.

How very terrible! I hope your friend is OK, Meerie.

[Parsons]

A much stronger X class CME just hit us within the past couple hours.

I swear it seems like the Earth's magnetic field is getting weaker, because they saw aurora's here in Arizona(higher altitude and much darker away from city lights), which is completely unheard of. <Evidence> In fact, I just looked at this aurora guide
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/Aurora/ which doesn't even list Arizona anywhere on the list.

This was caused by the moderately strong m.9 class flare from my previous post (we are still in the previously mentioned radiation storm although its been only S1 out of a scale up to S5). This new one was X2, quite a bit stronger. I wonder what kind of effects this one will have.

Looking historically, at around the same time in the solar 10-12 year sunspot / solar flare cycles, there was a very strong X6, which "..triggered a category S3 radiation storm.". This was nicknamed the Bastille Day event This much more recent S3 radiation storm we had was caused by a much weaker CME. I'm not sure what this means, if anything, but I find it quite interesting. I wonder if our magnetic field / ionosphere is significantly weakened since then, and what an X5+ CME would do to us now.

I don't know what that means, but it is related to the CMEs

[Meerie]

"bump"
"seeing that Dunc is online, and hoping he will explain the content of the article cited above that post"

[Parsons]

Haha.. I wish I knew more. Your article caused me to research what the radiation belt is.

From what I've gathered, its (2) strong areas of radiation around earth. This is caused by energy particles getting caught in our electromagnetic field.

The Van Allen radiation belt is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, which is held in place by Earth's magnetic field. It is believed that most of the particles that form the belts come from solar wind, and other particles by cosmic rays.

It has been confirmed that this field contains anti-particles. It sort of makes me want to speculate this radiation could be shielding the Earth from a significant amount of these.

In 2011, a study has confirmed earlier speculation that the Van Allen belt could confine antiparticles. The PAMELA experiment detected orders of magnitude higher levels of antiprotons than are expected from normal particle decays while passing through the SAA. This suggests the van Allen belts confine a significant flux of antiprotons produced by the interaction of the Earth's upper atmosphere with cosmic rays.[16] The energy of the antiprotons has been measured in the range from 60 - 750 MeV.

It may be of note that they are apparently trying to develop technology to be able to manually drain these belts for more convenient/safe space travel of unmanned/manned craft. I do not know enough about this to know if its good or bad.

The Russian physicist V.V. Danilov proposed the use of a High Voltage Orbiting Long Tether as a potential means to drain the radiation belt of high energy particles. The proposal involves deploying highly electrically charged tethers from satellites in orbit. Charged particles within the radiation belt encountering these tethers would be deflected by their large electrostatic fields onto paths that intersect with the atmosphere, where they would be harmlessly dissipated. Simulations have suggested that the inner belt could be drained to 1% of its natural electron flux within two months of HiVOLT operation.

It's beautifully reminiscent of the torus of energy around humans. Just rams home the point the earth is a living being...coincidently I was listening to Bashar today talk of the chakra points of earth. It's just mind boggling.

[Parsons]

Wow, I've never seen that before (or didn't look at it carefully enough). The way things line up is truly interesting.

exactly what are those based on? because i see no corelation between that, and the energy activity of the people at the pointed areas.

[Oceania]

opens if the other 12 are healthy?? lol Tibet the crown chakra

[Parsons]

If you live anywhere where anyone has ever seen aurora's, I would bank on seeing some really amazing ones tonight / tomorrow. We just were hit yesterday by a fairly weak CME that set off some moderate/strong activity here on Earth (S3, R3, and G2 storms). There is also a powerful (x5 class) CME that is predicted to deliver a glancing blow, but has not hit yet. This all from one of the most interesting looking (visually) sunspots Ive seen since I started becoming interested in this stuff (sunspot 1429):


(Click to enlarge)

MAJOR SOLAR FLARE (UPDATED): Big sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major flare. This one is the strongest yet, an X5-class eruption on March 7th at 00:28 UT.

Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab estimate that the CME will reach Earth on March 8th at 0625 UT (+/- 7 hr), possibly triggering a strong-to-extreme geomagnetic storm.

[Jerome]

These solar events shake me up in strange ways. I really think they are a great opportunity to work on energy blockages - they really seem to need massive attention before/during/after a big flare.

Meerie mentioned earlier in this thread (Hi Meerie) that her friend was attacked and mused about a connection to a CME. I think you're correct, Meerie.
Follow my novice thinking here: sun sends a boost of energy to earth, earth energy boost to humans - those of us who are clear get a boost of energy, those who are blocked receive a boost of trouble (catalyst).
So this attacker was unable to work with the increase in energy. It feels to me that a CME is a small scale metaphor for these times in general and the challenge of working with strong energy.

Does anyone else feel an increase in catalyst during these events? They always have my full attention - I get a big forewarning in my dreams and other odd messages that keep repeating themselves in my head in the days before the ones that make the news. This morning I was expecting to see news of a major flare and hoped someone else here was on top of it. I love this forum.

[Parsons]

Yeah... I had to wait through a few bouts of solar activity while comparing that to personal catalyst and people close to me. And so far in my experience: yes, it really seems like there is a correlation.

Also, another interesting coincidence is that what I've been using to monitor earth's magnetic field is most inconveniently out of service, which you see by this image(which normally updates every few minutes):

Solar Flare Now Bombarding Earth May Disrupt Power Grid, Satellites, Communications (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Think I'm gonna go out and get bombarded by some sweet solar flare light. Solar flare tan. Oh yeah.

[Ruth]

I don't know if it is related, but our power has been popping off and on since yesterday evening. I'm sure spoiled by having electricity 24/7 and it is really annoying to keep resetting all the clocks.

[Parsons]

The CME hit and so far is much weaker than expected. Activity could increase, though, depending on how much material is in the wake of the CME.

CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on March 8th around 1100 UT. The impact was weaker than expected, sparking only a mild (Kp=5) geomagnetic storm. However, the storm could intensify in the hours ahead depending on electromagnetic conditions in the wake of the CME. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

Apparently that sunspot is now 7x larger than Earth. Pretty cool IMO.

[Meerie]

the beacons of light talk about the solar flares also:

http://lightworker.com/beacons/2012/2012...heRope.php

"Many of you are now consciously releasing your old templates, letting go of some of your old belief systems about who you truly are, and who you thought you were. This has been very helpful and enabled many to move forward, but now the solar flares have begun and everyone on earth will feel this. We do not call them solar flares, as they are very similar to what you will experience as a magnetic bath. Huge waves of magnetism are coming in and stretching your own magnetic boundaries. They are moving your own lay lines of planet Earth, which are shifting as this energy comes in. During those times they are stretched out of shape, and your lay lines on an emotional level lose their anchoring. Animals tied in to the magnetic grids of earth may lose their way and often strand themselves as a result. It is almost as if no one is on solid ground anymore. Please be aware that most human reaction is experienced through magnetism; reactionary mechanisms originate from the emotional body, which has caused some challenges in the past. Several new illnesses have passed through humanity helping to adjust the magnetic body, and we tell you this will intensify during 2012.

Magnetic Rollercoaster

The first wave of this energy from the sun occurred between 2000 and 2001, and this magnetic energy was stored in the tectonic plates of planet Earth. This prepared the plates to hold the energy that entered over the next five years, which is why you have seen much of the movement in those tectonic plates. As the plates become charged they reach the level at which humans are ready to receive this energy, and then it slowly releases from these plates. This process is very similar to what you would consider an electrical capacitor or a battery, holding the charge until it is needed.

This has been happening with many of you, but as this starts to intensify and these magnetic waves arrive on planet Earth you have options. You can choose how you receive this energy, although you have not known this before. You can take this energy, which has usually knocked you off center in your emotional body, and turn it into something that feeds your love centers because this is true love that is coming in from the universe. And we tell you that the sun is not quite what you think it is. Many of you believe it to be a hot gassy ball of fire, but we tell you it is actually a portal that energy is transported through. So much energy will be released over this next few years that there is not enough energy in the sun to fill the demand. It was not long ago that many of your scientists on earth believed (very quietly) that the sun was reaching its end. They theorized that it would burn out because so much of its energy had been released. Dear ones, we tell you that almost twice that amount of energy will be arriving very soon. "

the rest of the article is very interesting as well, if you have time

[Confused]

Thanks, Meerie

[Oceania]

yeah

[Parsons]

Yes! The article Meerie posted is what I intuitively "wanted" to believe. And look at that; I read an article trying to point out (amongst other things) that all this energy coming in is actually positive, not going to kill us or cause some horrible cataclysm. Its just bringing in a new age.

If you look at the above post, the time that they decided to bring down the NOAA systems for an "upgrade" is the same solar flare that hit in the article Meerie posted. It had a crazy powerful effect on us for a flare that wasn't that big, then we were hit by a much bigger one only days later and it had a lesser effect. NOAA is the agency that normally gives everyone a chance to see what our solar/magnetic weather is like.

I wonder if it wasnt an upgrade and it was that solar flare scrambling all their computer systems on the satelites used to measure/monitor that stuff.

Forgot to post this article from NASA that tells us how the same CME in question dumped enough electricity into our upper atmosphere to power New York City for 2 years. Also found the video version that does a pretty good job of explaining things in lamens terms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEFQHDSYP1I

in that video Steve and Barbara Rother talk some more about the solar flares
it starts around 8 mins.

I just love them, their messages are so positive and uplifting

Here Nassim Haramein talks about sunspots being vortices, the sun being a stargate...
and guess what
Ra is in the video as well!

He said the Vatican owns the telescopes and probes that observe the sun!? Is that true? How does he know?

[Meerie]

Good question!!!
I tried to google but did not find anything...
I suppose most of these big sun telescopes are propriety of university astronomy departments?
