No Big Thing, Just a Coronal Hole in our Sun.

What?
The sun has a hole too?
Did Man create this one as well?

Solar Warming is cold as hell!

While the photo of the sun is very interesting, why worry about something you cannot control? If the sun decides to send a blast of energy our way theres not one d### thing anyone can do about it. So, why is this the top posted thread? Sheesh.

Well maybe the point is that there is a concern. Check out this article

It is really not a joke and the fact that "NASA, while admitting that a serious solar storm could happen practically anytime, also cautions that the next big one could be many decades away. It is a genuine threat, they say, but the timing is impossible to predict." Colton

Yes it is true that there are other concerns, asteroids, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc., but all of these possible disasters are a bit more predictable than solar flares/storms.

I had a lot of laughs here, but it really isn't a laughing matter.

We are all going to die one day.

Really? This got 129 flags? Well, good goings? Not really much to see or learn here. Sorry, but I have seen a lot of threads on pics like this. Some of them were interesting, but this one is not. It seems like you're just posting to beg for flags. At least give a thrilling foresight like, "crazy pac-man on sun to destroy Earth!", or something.

I thought we were here to "deny ignorance" not measure flagpoles.

Congrats on going silver, now let's just hope the sun will be ok, or what's the point, 'cause then it would like "hi ho silver, AWAY!"

That's one hell of a jumbo shrimp!

reply to post by mblahnikluver


Right on! that I think is not the case we are posting here , to earn stars and flags. Its about to build a strong case does it not?

ooohhh, I just noticed this.
12 more flags and I go Silver!
woohoo


Yeah sure you just noticed this. Is this why you post so many threads lately? Does the status really mean that much to you? It should be about content and this is just a picture of the sun..Nothing special to see here.


What the heck happened on here lately. All people seem to care about are flags stars or getting recognition.


Cool pic though
I agree with acool photo and I,ve been writing a lot on ATS for 3 weeks now and still can't figure out what a star a nd flag means and IDK how to even start a thread. Oh well I am not out for recognition just ideas and viewpoints

Well thats weird agentblue,your post was the same as mblahnikluver,Double agent

It's so simple. The sun is grading us. We get a "C" in planetary maintenance. Wouldn't wanna be around when the "F" comes!

Maybe i'm connecting too many dots here but...

There is a guy (forgive me for not having a link to his YT) who predicts quakes according to solar activity with scary precision, hence in my opinion they are firmly connected.

This CME is gonna hit us over the course of the coming few days.

FEMA has "requested information" about the availability of (was it?) 140 million emergency supply packages like food and blankets able to be delivered "within 24 hours" and they needed an answer before the 3rd of februari for a "training" covering an awakening of the New Madrid faultline, and the massive earthquake resulting of it.

I hope i'm wrong, but i started to distrust "trainings/simulations", does your gov't know more?

Apart from the (probably/hopefully) faulty connections im making with this, i love the pic. And even though it might be a small CME compared to others, how many earths you think would fit in that region?

Either I'm just way out of touch or the collective iq here has been dropping as of late. I suppose either is possible.

I predicted a court action appx. year in advance = 1 flag.
Pic of the sun doing what it does = priceless

no offense to the OP

Dude 99.9% of the human population knows NOTHING about solar sciences.

To say they have low IQ's for essentially being ignorant, is well, a sign of low IQ now isn't it?

Ignorant means you are not aware of the facts yet.
Low IQ means you cannot put 2+2 together reasonably.

Anyways, does anyone know the intensity of the solar storm approaching?

Well now, northern lights like effects or aurora as they are also known, are the visible part of the interaction between charged particles from the sun, and our magnetosphere here on Earth. Usualy they only occur around the poles, but sometimes when the storm of particles is dense enough, the phenomenon spreads further toward the equator. The most memorable incident of a particularly large CME, or coronal mass ejection causing such a southerly display , was the Carrington event, an event so massive that the flare could be seen with the naked eye. It wiped out the telegram system for a time.
In terms of the advice and warnings, all I have found are vauge references to comms difficulties, and minor fluctuations in the power grid. If you are really worried about your equipment, I would make sure that you have RCD and breaker protection of a decent spec. That ought to isolate your electricals from dangerous surges , and/or sudden loss of power. The real dangers are that the entire electrical grid will fail or that the fluctuations that may occur become more than minor, burning out tranformer banks and substations, and causing blackouts over large swathes of the effected areas. I have cast the runes (looked at a few sites) and see no reference to immediate apocalyptic effects, so I wouldnt worry too much.

there is a kool picture of a aurora-burst on spaceweather that is related to the wind from the coronal hole, boy i'd love to see one for real,

www.spaceweather.com...

The photo displays solar wind that is spewing from a dark C-shaped hole which has opened up in the sun's atmosphere.
This photo is from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and was taken on Jan. 31, 2011.
We should be having magnetic storms in early February, around the 2nd to the 4th.

I hope the Sun's Solar Wind stays right away from Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi !!

Just a "C"? I expected at least a "B -". Oh well, lets hear it for mediocrity.

reply to post by semistein


I assume from your post that you believe that the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere will increase the damaging effects of the tropical storm.
I must say that although your opinion is shared by many, there is no actual evidence that says that this is accurate. The interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere of the Earth can affect the electrical grid of the earth, but has no recordable affect on the actual weather we expirience here on the surface of Earth.

I think the C is telling us to vote for Clinton in 2012... : )

I just opened up a different thread regarding this. My concern is that the aurora-burst occurred when there was a forecast for very little auroral activity. The reason it occurred is because the interplanetary magnetic field tilted and opened up a hole in the magnetosphere.

Could that be a bad thing if a hole opens up while the solar wind from this coronal hole happens to hit Earth tomorrow into Thursday?

So this solar maxim will be different than all the rest of more than billions of years....and because of 12/21/2012....ok now we are finally getting somewhere....so Terrence Mckenna's Timewave Theory is a bust...Cliff Hi's Web-bot is a bust. Nancy Lieders Zetatalk dooms day hour has come and gone,,Harlod Campings Millerites will not be Raptured on 5/21/2011 .......and you want to further promote the next solar maxim cycle and a dooms day....well maybe but trust me, you wont feel a thing....and It will be life a usual untill it goes back to minus.....If it does creat a dooms day then I will eat my hat..OK!!!
