Sudden Coronal Hole, 26 October 2010

As we move closer towards 2012, we can expect the Sun to make some amazing changes. From this video, and others, there appears to be something starting to take place that is very unusual in Nature. These correlations with the Sun to EQs, and Earth changes are apparent as well. It seems the Sun is fixing to enter the new cycle, and what a cycle it appears its going to be.

For current data, see the following site - sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov...
And today is day number 87, for those keeping up with it.

Any thoughts.

Well , we ARE nearing the end of the world
. vaporization is just around the corner

Whoa, I thought "2012" was pretty much settled by now, no? I respect that it may not be for some people, though I just wonder if you already have a later date planned on the off chance that 2012 doesn't pan out? If so, what date would that be? We might as well get it out of the way now.

I believe it now turns out that 2012 won't be that much of a spectacular solar year after all. It appears as if 2012 had some great expectations, that are all turning out to be duds.

On another note, cool video! The sun in all of its amazingness, always fascinates me.

Actually, the Sun began cycle 24 a while ago. The cycle which is forecast to peak in mid 2013 at a lower than average level of intensity.

You very well may be correct Mr spoon.
The mystery and suspense of 2012 will remain a Hmmm

Wow, where's Hoagland?!

...Looks like 19.5 deg south to me!

I suppose my intentions are not well stated with this thread. Or the wrong category. But since the suns activities are directly intertwined with the current time frame, I thought this would be appropriate. They need a section "sun watch" or something.

Regardless, the effects of this hole will arrive in 7 days, and any CME out of it will arrive in 7 minutes. So the question attached to the thread is inappropriate. It is more like a notification of what is going on with the sun at this point in time.

Coronal holes do not produce CMEs, they produce a fast solar wind. But judging by the position of the one in the video it won't have any effect on Earth.

BTW, there already is a solar activity watch thread here.

Yes, they do not emanate from Coronal holes, but have been observed interacting with them, and there is theoretical speculation that they might be spawned by them, much like feeder bands within a hurricane spawn tornadoes.

Thanks for the direction to the appropriate thread for the sun watch..

# it....I'm going to eat all the chocolate cookies I see from on. No more holding back.
It's nice to see the sun picking up again though. It's been quiet for so long.

Yeah, I have been eyeing the cookie dough in the fridge here lately. Raw of course...
