Early Perseid Fireball - August 2, 2012



RIPPING PERSEID: As Earth enters a broad stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, more and more Perseid meteors are appearing in the night sky. "Last night, I captured a Perseid fireball ripping through the ionosphere over New Mexico," reports amateur astronomer Thomas Ashcraft. "It was traveling pretty fast - 133,000 miles per hour!"

At the moment, Perseid meteor rates are low--no more than about 10 per hour. In the days ahead, however, Earth will plunge deeper into the comet's debris stream, and meteor activity will increase accordingly. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on August 12-13 with as many as 100+ meteors per hour visible from dark-sky sites.

Will we be able to any of the meteor showers here in Wa. State?

Thanks

Thanks

Hi bhaas,

This should answer that for you:

The next meteor shower is the Perseids on the night of August 11

ERUPTING MAGNETIC FILAMENT August 4, 2012



ERUPTING MAGNETIC FILAMENT
A filament of magnetism connecting sunspots AR1538 and AR1540 rose up and erupted on August 4th.

As the filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, it propelled a massive CME into space. The expanding cloud does not appear to be on a collision course with Earth, although a glancing blow might be possible 2 to 3 days hence.

thank you IndianaBoys

thank you IndianaBoys

MonsieurM,

You are welcome!

Thanks for posting the Sun Flare Activity Report.

It corelates with the aboove movie.

so August 4th is here

Monsieur,

Thanks for posting this.

Also of interest is:

Ufopolitics,

I do believe the technology you have brought forward is paving the way for the new energy source and social transformation that is needed at this time:

2012 may bring the "perfect storm" - solar flares, systems collapse

"These new energy sources are less vulnerable to destructive solar storms, have no negative environmental impact, and could unleash unprecedented economic and social transformation."

Stay the course and never give up!

PS: What you are bringing forth is a novelty:

Novelty =

1. The quality of being new, original, or unusual.
2. A new or unfamiliar thing or experience.

SUN SERPENT: August 7, 2012





Amateur astronomers around the world are monitoring a gigantic filament of magnetism on the sun. If one end of the filament were on Earth, the other end would reach all the way to the Moon. The dimensions of the structure make it an easy target for amateur solar telescopes. Richard Fleet sends this picture from his backyard observatory in Wiltshire, England.

This filament is filled with billions of tons of plasma, yet it has remained suspended above the surface of the sun for days. Such a massive structure, buffeted as it is by winds and currents in the sun's atmosphere, is unlikely to remain stable much longer. If the filament collapses, it could crash into the surface of the sun and spark a powerful type of explosion called a Hyder flare. Amateur astronomers are encouraged to monitor developments.

One rather small active region popped off no fewer than 15 minor flares over 18 hours (July 30-31, 2102). The activity of diminutive sunspot AR1538 is a sign of tension in the region's magnetic field. The active region show to the right also contributed another three flares during the same time period. The images were taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light.

wow ....... .... Impressive IndianaBoys

[MonsieurM]

IndianaBoys , is there a way to see if the solar triangle is still visible .... and if so where the filament would be relative to the solar triangle


would be curious to see that

here is a nice website to find the coordinates (maybe ) of the solar triangle and the solar snake

Solar Rotation

the regions of the Sun near its equator rotate once every 25 days. The Sun's rotation rate decreases with increasing latitude, so that its rotation rate is slowest near its poles. At its poles the Sun rotates once every 36 days !

One Half Million Mile Filament - Aug. 6-8, 2012

One Half Million Mile Filament

A very long, whip-like solar filament extended about half a million miles in long arc above the Sun's surface (Aug. 6-8, 2012). The image shows the filament as a darker strand that has been in view for several days. Filaments are cooler clouds of gas that are tethered above the Sun's surface by unstable magnetic forces.
