Update / Eruption Near 1608 - a glancing blow toward Earth / Coronal Rain persists HD
Best viewed with window expanded UPDATE!! Filament Eruption Near 1608 A filament eruption was just observed over the last several hours around sunspot 1608. This region is in a good Earth facing position and a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is now visible. A portion of the cloud looks to be Earth directed. More updates to follow. The brand new CME Prediction Model released by the Goddard Space Flight Center shows a potential for an Earth impact by late on November 12. A majority of the slow moving plasma cloud appears to be headed south, however a glancing blow impact will be possible. This could lead to an increase in geomagnetic activity and aurora at high latitudes. FARSIDE EXPLOSION: As solar activity picks up on the Earthside of the sun (see "Broken Quiet" below), the farside of the sun is coming alive, too. During the early hours of Nov. 9th, a magnetic filament located behind the sun #39;s southeastern limb erupted, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space: This explosion was not geoeffective, but future explosions might be. The blast site, still potent, is just days away from rotating onto the Earthside of the sun ALERT: Type II Radio Emission Begin Time: 2012 Nov 08 0220 UTC Estimated Velocity: 784 km/s Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event. Solar activity remains at very low levels. The largest visible sunspot this morning, is a new ...From:Trudi KayViews:102 15ratingsTime:07:35More inScience Technology
