Solar Activity Watch 2011

Maybe off topic here,but there has been mentioned before about the correlation
of solar activity and earthquakes.
So take a look at this graph and tell me what you think...

It's before the earthquake in Japan.

Space Weather News for April 1, 2011 spaceweather.com... SPACE PLANE FLARES: The US Air Force X-37B space plane is circling Earth on a classified mission. Although its orbit is officially unpublished, amateur sky watchers have spotted it and are monitoring its progress. This week, a veteran observer witnessed a spectacular flare from the X-37B, exceeding the brightness of Venus. Details may be found on today's edition of spaceweather.com....

Hello guys, I've been a lurker for some time on these forums reading to pass time and I just joined to share some pictures with ya'll.
All pictures are taken on April 3rd 2011 in the middle east .

First picture taken at 12:10:20 local time.
Last picture taken at 12:13:19 local time.

I read a thread just before going out for work about solar flares and it sparked my intrest to get some pictures on my way out, is that object on the picture a meteor ?

I added direct links just in case they don't show up.

Dam, looks like you caught Wormwood sneaking up on us. And people wonder why the earth has gotten all worked up.

The sun was quite busy for 04/04/2011, here is the record of another CME, not Earth directed.

stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov...

It looks like the number of provided solar images are decreasing each day , I wonder why!

Another Earth-directed CME is evolving right now 09/04/2011. This is not a major one but it is Earth directed ,second in the last 24 hours I guess..

SPINNING ASTEROID FLYBY: Newly-discovered asteroid 2011 GP59 is flying past Earth today, April 15th, not far beyond the orbit of the Moon (1.4 LD). There's no danger of a collision, but the 50-meter space rock is remarkable: It is elongated and spinning once every 7.5 minutes. This causes the asteroid to flash like a strobe light.

I have watched the waning moon last night from NSW Australia. It rose in the southern sky and was lit from a southerly direction.
As it rose it turned, and set this morning in a more northern sky and was lit from a northerly direction.
Can all you people have a look PLEASE PLEASE, and let me know what you see.
thank you

Notice that no one's been on for a while. Hmmm...

I was looking at the latest SOHO images and, though I don't know squat about all this, it seems to me the sun's looking pretty ' flarey '...

Anyone?

All seems pretty quiet as far as I can tell. This is a good site to visit for updates.

You missed the sun spitting out an earth sized "( hairball ?? my words) ,, plasma ejection,, their words or something simular.
Today /Yesterday ?

The sun has been quite for a couple of days, seems like it is going up.
From the soho website:

Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low
with a chance for C-class events, and a slight chance for an M-class
event, as regions on the disk continue to evolve.

Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be predominately unsettled with occasional active
periods, including isolated minor storm conditions at high-latitudes
for day one (28 May). This is expected due to effects from the
recurrent coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). In addition
there are possible effects from the disappearing filament observed
on 25 May. Quiet to unsettled conditions, with isolated active
levels, are expected for days two and three (29-30 May) with
continued CH HSS effects.

X-ray index
KP index
forecast

Im guessing the effect of this activity we now see in Earth's Magnetosphere?
Trigger for new earthquakes?

Anyone see Lasco C3 SOHO of Sun for today(5/27/2011)?!?

Is that large mass that is moving slowly through images a brown dwarf? It is very large and moving pretty slow. Someone needs to identify asap. Possibly start a new tread

I saw it, dont know what that is.
In the right upper corner you can see M45 Pleiades.
If I use that as a reference, I would think its betelgeuse.
Its moving the same speed as al the other stars so im guessing no brown dwarf
but im not an expert, far off
Just like to check the movies

Lol, it looks like star wars, but do you mean the
object at bottom left, 7pm ?

I think he is yes
.
Check out sunspot 1226
Think we willl have to keep an eye on that one in the coming day(s)

Thanks for the updates - seems we
have a little more activity brewing.

Latest news from soho

Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is likely to remain low
for the next three days (29-31 May) with a slight chance for an
M-class event.

Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to remain at unsettled to active levels, with isolated
minor storm periods, on days 1 and 2 (29-30 May), becoming
predominantly unsettled on day 3 (31 May). This activity is in
response to the continued influence of the coronal hole high speed
stream.

Latest news from the Solar Terrestrial Activity Report

60-100% possibility of either M or X class flares within the next 48 hours

news on sunspot region 11226:

Region 11226 is unstable and very active. This compact region is quickly adding spots and penumbral area. There is a high chance of an M class flare and a major flare is possible.
