CME Impact / Solar Watch Dec 29, 2011

[boazzaob]

I really like your news.

Great video as usual! These next few days will be busy!

[boazzaob]

Anyone noticed the sharp decline in earthquake activity?

[greentractorboy]

@boazzaob Well certain areas have less activity while others are becoming more active such as Russia and Peru.

[greentractorboy]

@boazzaob You do have a great point though I have been observing for 8 years now and there have been many times where there were over a thousand earthquakes on the map. Today there are 158 quakes on the map that's really nothing in comparison and it has been like this for the last few weeks, maybe it's the calm before the storm. I am keeping my eye on Australia it will probably get a really big one soon much like what happened in Japan prior to it's huge quake lots of 5.5 magnitudes and then bam

@ TheAmyrigg

We are called the apple of God's eye. Very good insight! :-)

Thanks again Solarwatcher...you report more than the "eye" can see, and are used in ways you can't know!

Actualy solar activity is relatively low at the moment as is geospace activity according to NOAA

The first CME you showed will likely not be geoeffective as it was on the east limb and showed no signs of being a halo event.

The proton counts have seemed really high lately...anyone like to comment on this? can anyone explain that in terms of the significance/effects of this and what the actual measurement means? Currently it is: density: 15.4 protons/cm3. I have noticed that some sensitive people (like me) can feel when the xrays and protons are elevated...then we go check the levels on the spaceweater or solarham. at what level/measurment does it count as a "proton event" ?

[docatomics]

...quire on the LASCO imager the blue highlighting ???

~is that a measured indication of the plasma (gas/matter X energy) ejection shock wave front or is it a electromagnetic indication of the "coronal boundary layer"

=as much as I have just describe one & the same in a somewhat cumbersome inept fashion ?

[docatomics]

...excellent teaching component SolarWatcher;

~creating a community of Solar Weather Observers is in the best interest of the discipline , homo sapient technological continence (short & long term) and the best hope we have of preventing the sever ramification on the next (still not understood or predictable) Carrington EMP Solar Storm; if only to the prepare for the great rebuild of our Electronic I.C. infrastructure base societal back bone

=we are all as one on my Earth in this "All Sky Survey"

[PURELOVECREW]

Many thanks...Greetings

[MurkrazOfficial]

I feel a 7 mag event comin'

[Glen799]

@MurkrazOfficial Where Christchurch had two 4.3 mag around the time of the cme

[stuzapusa]

Thanks for the report.

[ecochic888]

I hope oneday your space weather is reported like earth weather. Thank you Solar Watcher!

[Catsscratchfever]

M2 in progress....

[SolarWatcher]

@Catsscratchfever good catch, this bad boy might push out an X class event if it keeps growing

[BabylonsKing]

Oh Excuse me that was in Siberia where it was recorded a day ago.

[SolarWatcher]

@BabylonsKing i am talking about another big earthquake in the southern hemiphere which i see coming

[Glen799]

@SolarWatcher what day bro?

[BabylonsKing]

We did have a strong Earthquake: It was over 9.5 according to the Russians but our Low Life reporting system logged it in as a 6.8...what's ya think?

[dirtyyyminds]

thanks - very well done. one question: if you show pics from the sun is it possible to put the size of the earth in these pics - to see how big the sun spots are ?

[SolarWatcher]

@dirtyyyminds i am using can studio, i havent been able to work out how to add the size of the earth as a jpeg in a video clip. i have tried many times with no success

[ISOABlessing]

@SolarWatcher thank you for trying...I am learning soooo very much!! Best wishes!

[dirtyyyminds]

@SolarWatcher - try it with camtasia studio 7 or video pad - there you can put pics in videos and you can change the diameter of your pics with zoom ;-))

[SolarWatcher]

@dirtyyyminds i will download it today, thank you

[401rach]

god help if we get any stronger earthquakes then past few days

[TheAmyrigg]

i love Sun ♥ thanks for posting kid - i love the view of the last frame of your video - that always reminds me of a side-view of an eyeball ♥
