Solar Activity & SR

Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, SRI RAS

A quick update about that reverse-spike/heartbeat Solar activity ~ it lasted just 48 hours (27 & 28 February) and reverted back to its more "usual" pattern on 1 March.

And since I'm currently able to access the SR site, here it is:

SR & Solar Activity Follow-Up

Space Observing System

Following up with the previous post....

That unusual SR reading lasted exactly 24 hours, from midnight to midnight UTC! That chunk of data looks so cut-and-paste but of course it's not. So what is it?  

On the Solar flare activity front, it looks like the readings are settling into a new reverse-spike/heartbeat rhythm:

Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, SRI RAS

....and geomagnetic activity has been quite sustained over the past 30+ hours:

It's predicted that we'll continue to be in this stormy space for another day or so (click link below image for animation):

Strange SR & Solar Activity

Space Observing System

There's so much to say about the above SR chart and none of it will be meaningful because truthfully, I have no idea what it all really means 🤭 

Just look at the readings! The first part, although not registering any significant values, looks so "messy". It's interspersed with faint white stripes that look as if something was about to happen but didn't fully materialise. There's also this brief "blackout" period on 25 February @13:00hr, and unusual formations at midnight.

Then exactly 24-hours later, we have this pattern that formed suddenly, looking as if it was cut from another graph and pasted upon this one. 

Timeline shift? Space-time shift? Dimensional shift? Mechanical malfunction? (Me imploring the Universe for an answer....) 

(Actually, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with our Planet being hosted by Urtha/Andromeda.)

As if to underscore whatever is happening, Solar flare activity is registering this reverse-spike reading again:

Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, SRI RAS

The last stretch of this happening initiated on 31 August 2024 and went through all of September before finally quitting on 14 October 2024. The current dip occurs around the same time as before. I'll have to monitor to see if this is a one-off or the start of a "reverse-spike heartbeat" new phase.

To round this off, we had some short storming:

Solar Activity: Follow-Up For 1&2 February 2025 and New CMEs

Taken by Dave Curtis on February 2, 2025 @ Dunedin New Zealand

Following from an earlier post about Solar Activity, the expected strong geomagnetic storms didn't arrive although there were still some stunning Auroras to be savoured, like this gorgeous formation in the image above. And with Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS to complement the visual!

In terms of CMEs in the past few days, there were plenty to be seen and Gregorio M Vigilante del Sol had some fascinating images to show, like the ones below highlighting this enormous filament that resulted due to strong Solar winds:

Solar Forecast For The Weekend

SpaceWeatherLive

Following from the previous post, here's more data about what is expected just around the corner.

There have been a number of CMEs in the past 24 hours, with the clip above being one of them. If I have selected the correct CME, this is what Gregorio M Vigilante del Sol calls a "double CME" (here).

 

SpaceWeatherLive

The screenshot above shows the Solar wind prediction in about 24 hours from the time of this writing. Please visit SpaceWeatherLive to watch the video.

Look at that burst sweeping the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) strands, bunching up the ones belonging to Earth and Mars as well as three observatory crafts:

Our Sun's Huge Corona Hole & That Shield-Like Structure....Again

Gregorio M Vigilante del Sol

Gregorio M Vigilante del Sol has posted some very interesting and intriguing images of our Sun and its vicinity. I can't help but see the first set of images as faces, as shown above. This is what SpaceWeather reports:

A HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A large hole in the sun's atmosphere is directly facing Earth and blowing a stream of solar wind in our direction. Estimated time of arrival: Jan. 31st or Feb. 1st. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the gaseous material reaches Earth. CME impact alerts: SMS Text.

And this is the intriguing part, where Gregorio says:

Images dated 26-01-2025, a couple of years ago, we followed the appearance in space of a circular object with a star in the center, which many comments hinted at the call (Ezekiel's Wheel) or something like that, and that has appeared in different years in different dates and different position, that in those days as a consequence of his appearance seemed to again unfold a kind of shield such as happened in previous occasions, and now in January 2025 reappears, here again the new images of January 2025...

He's referring to this image:

Gregorio M Vigilante del So

There are several more images, so please click the link to Gregorio's fb page to see them.

The left arrow is pointing at a shield-like stucture, and Gregorio mentions seeing something similar two years ago. I've only followed Gregorio for about 1+ years so I don't know to what he's specifically referring.

However, what this image reminds me of immediately is something that I posted from In2ThinAir 3 years ago, here. If you haven't yet watched the video I featured in the post, I do strongly suggest doing so. It boggles my mind every time I watch it ~ just imagine the size of that structure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnSFr28LELo

My question then and my question now remains the same: Who is doing this?

So....does this mean that we'll be having a gargantuan Solar storm coming, one that is at the moment far too intense for our Planet and her Humanity, and therefore requires some shielding to step-down the potency?

Is it the same shield structure as before or is this an entirely new one?

So many more questions to ask.... I'll leave it here for now and look forward to seeing some follow-up videos very soon.

Namarie! 💜

 

Three More!

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

We've had another trio of X-class flares in the past 48 hours, with a brief period of geomagnetic activity just now:

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

 

So that's a trio of X-flares closing out 2024, and another trio of X-flares in the first week of 2025.

And look at our Sun, all lit up:

The frequencies were coming in strong and stayed long:

These two CMEs being the cause for the excitement and celebration:

I'd like to think of these frequencies as literally lighting up our Planet's core energetics and infusing the entire world. Perhaps the start of helping to transmute the Black River?

Very nice indeed 💝

Three X-Flares

SpaceWeather

Solar siesta ended on 29 December with an X1.1, followed by a double X-flare the next day (X1.1 & X1.5).

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

The double X-flares are the ones shown in the gif above, and this is what SpaceWeather says:

This morning's X1.5-class eruption (0414 UTC) was so strong it triggered a secondary blast in sunspot 3932 more than 200,000 km away.

All three X-flares occurred within a 24-hour period:

X1.1 on 29th @07:08:00 UTC

X1.5 on 30th @04:01:00 UTC

X1.1 on 30th @04:29:00 UTC.

Farside Solar Activity

SpaceWeather

The "other" side of our Solar System has been getting much Solar love and attention. Our Sun spewed out a series of CMEs, one of which was this colossal energy mass as shown above, which occurred on 17 December. SpaceWeather has some details.

Since they were on the farside, geomagnetic storms weren't really expected. However, it would seem that the CMEs did their best in extending their reach so as not to leave out our Planet, and we did get some spotty geomagnetic activity, with one short burst of storming.

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

Apart from this, it's been pretty quiet this side of our Sun.

Namarie! 🤍

"Impulsive" X2.2

The Sun Today

It was a quiet two weeks on the Solar-front, but around 5 December 2024 we started to see some small sizzles registering on the chart, growing more active until the X2.2 on 8 December 2024.

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

SpaceWeather called the burst "impulsive" (read here).

The ensuing CME isn't Earth-facing:

  ....but it does look like Mercury and Mars are both in the line of Cosmic Fire:

Solar Radiation Storm & Avalanche Lights

SpaceWeather

SpaceWeather reported this interesting event on 25 November 2024:

MYSTERIOUS BLUE AVALANCHE LIGHTS IN CHINA: This might be something new. On the night of Oct. 27th, Chinese astrophotographer Shengyu Li set up his camera to record star trails over Mount Xiannairi in Sichuan, China. The long exposure had just begun when an icy serac broke free from a hanging glacier. Note the blue flashes within the ensuing avalanche.

It's known as "triboluminescence" ~ today (27th) SpaceWeather has more information about the phenomenon, please read about it here.

On 22 November 2024, we had a moderate (S2) to minor (S2) Solar Radiation storm:

SpaceWeather

SpaceWeather reports:

SOLAR RADIATION STORM IN PROGRESS: Today, Earth and all of our planet's satellites are being hit by a blizzard of energetic protons. It's an S1-class solar radiation storm (subsiding from a peak of S2) . You can see the particles in this coronagraph movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):

An X2.03 Closes Off October

SpaceWeather

Unsurprisingly, October bookended its potent run with X-class flares. An X2.03 burst onto the scene on the last day of the month but no CME is expected:

Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun, Russia

At this time of writing, it's still pre-noon UTC 1 November ~ let's see if there's any high Solar activity to greet this month.

October was certainly....interesting.

About Another X-Class Flare & Two Comets....

This X1.8 flared hot on the heels of an M9.5 on 26 October 2024.

Look at that humongous CME that followed:

SpaceWeather

It's largely not facing Earth ~ seems like Venus is getting the attention for this one. 

SpaceWeather

Let's turn to the Comets now ~ first up, the one dubbed "Comet of the Century" Comet A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. Space.com shows its dazzling tail as it passes our Sun:

Space.com

I'll show another still of this event towards the end of this post. There's also a video clip of this comet as it makes its way across the sky (here).

Next we have this Sungrazer (C/2024 S1) approaching our Sun (lower right):

SpaceWeather

I'll be checking for updated footage in the following days as it flies into our Sun.

For the final resource, here's a video by MrMB333. Apart from the gorgeous Aurora Borealis performance, the video also features Comet A3 as it passes our Sun (around 2:18-minute mark), right as the CME was firing off (I'll refer to this in a later post):

MrMBB333

The video's main feature of the "rings" in the sky is also fascinating (4:50-minute mark).

So much happening....
