BIG FARSIDE SUNSPOTS: There are two sunspot groups on the farside of the sun so big they are affecting the way the whole sun vibrates. Helioseismic maps suggest that one of them will turn toward Earth this weekend. The appearance of another big sunspot group would help keep sunspot numbers elevated at their current 20-year high. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: As predicted, strangely-magnetized sunspot AR3784 (described below) erupted today, producing an X1.1-class solar flare. The explosion was directly facing Earth: Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a deep shortwave radio blackout over India and the Middle East: map. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz for 30+ minutes after the flare's peak (0640 UT). Radio emissions and preliminary coronagraph images suggest that this explosion may have hurled a faint CME toward Earth. If so, a NASA model predicts it will strike Earth around 1200 UTC on Aug. 17th. |

August 14, 2024 @ 06:40 UTC A long duration X1.1 solar flare was just observed around AR 3784 peaking at 06:39 UTC (Aug 14). The active region is currently directly facing Earth and this event may be eruptive based on the latest imagery courtesy of SDO/AIA 093a. More details to follow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More about this sunspot that released the X 1.1 flare from spaceweather.com: A STRANGELY MAGNETIZED SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR3784 is breaking Hale's Law. According to that hundred-year-old rule, sunspots in the sun's northern hemisphere should be polarized like this: . Instead, AR3784 is polarized like this: . This magnetic map from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the 90-degree twist:  What does this even mean? Sunspots do break the law from time to time (3% of the time, to be exact). Usually they are "reversed polarity"--that is, instead of . Sunspot AR3784 is halfway in between. The magnetic underpinnings of this sunspot are corkscrewing in an unusual way. If opposite magnetic polarities get twisted together too tightly, there could be an X-class solar flare. Stay tuned https://spaceweather.com/ |
