The Solar Tally So Far....

EarthSky

At this time of writing, we've had 25 X-class Solar Flares since this phenomenal year of 2024 commenced. Out of those 25, nineteen of them occurred during the month of May alone, and we still have 12 more days before the month ends.

Guess how many X-class flares we had in the entire year of 2023?

12!

Here's a list of those 25, thanks to SpaceWeatherLive, please visit the page to view the entire chart (Top 50 Solar Flares), which includes the highest 25 M-class flares as well:

This list also tells us that there have been 7 M9-class flares so far. 

For anyone interested, here's the page for 2023's top 50 flares.

After that almost 40-hours of geomagnetic storming from 10-12 May, we've had a couple more periods of storms ~ however, these were fairly brief and not as strong.

EarthSky has a video of this incredible filament that erupted out of our Sun's southern hemisphere today, and its resulting CME ~ screenshot at the top of this post.

We Have No.13! (And It's Still Storming....)

One more X-class flare sparked off since my posting yesterday, bringing the tally to 13 so far for this Solar-active month of May:

We haven't stopped storming since Friday 10 May:

And look at that amazing clip of those particles being funnelled to Earth (top of post)! This is what SpaceWeather says:

The snowy speckles in this SOHO coronagraph movie are caused by energetic particles hitting the spacecraft's camera. The particles are being accelerated toward the spacecraft (and toward Earth) by shock waves in the emerging CME. They are a sign that it is a potent storm cloud with an Earth-directed component.

That's why I specifically used the word "funnelled". Yep, Earth Mum is the focus of some serious energies right now 😇 I know SpaceWeather calls them "energetic particles" but to me they are COSMIC PLASMA. Lots and lots and lots of it.

If we thought the 900 km/s radial velocity was high for 11 May, we are now seeing that the expected reading for 13 May is 1200 km/s!

Aurora Borealis displays are covering huge swathes of our beautiful Planet:

You can view dozens of these spectacular displays here.

Hope everyone is faring OK. I know it sounds like a paradox but even while some of us are being floored by these immense energies, it's still such a good time to hand-hold each other (energetically) as well as to do our Lightwork.

From what I can gather, this isn't over yet! 😅

Still On-Going....

Another X-class flare! That's no.12 for this month, registering at X5.8:

Are we storming, too? ABSOLUTELY!!! And they are off the charts at G5:

Please head over to SpaceWeather for more details. 

I'm beginning to understand why I got that "multiplication effect" message yesterday 😄

My PC refused to turn on this morning, no matter what I did. So I left it and after several minutes, it turned on by itself. I guess it decided to go through a little reboot of its own. Ditto my phone, it was terribly glitchy. 

I will try to post more resources but not right now. I went to bed last night with a dull pain in my head, woke up this morning with more pain, and just felt several stabs a couple of hours ago. My head feels like it's having its own solar flaring and geomagnetic storming party going on 😅  I have to go lie down....

This Month of May....

Just ten days into this manic monumental month of May and we've already been blasted with 11 X-class flares, along with several high M-class ones.

We had an X3.9-flare a few hours ago. SR is also busy-busy-busy:

Multiple CMEs spewed out of our Sun ~ SpaceWeather has some details about the potential of them forming a cannibal CME (here). Whoa.... this footage includes Jupiter (left) and Venus (right)!

And look at the extremely high readings for both plasma density and radial velocity expected on 11 May!

I'm also highlighting a photo I took of our Sun this morning (first image of this post). Again, I apologise for the dismal attempt to capture what I saw, but I hope that the essence of the frequencies are somehow being conveyed in some way.

When I looked out of the window this morning at our Sun, I was knocked back energetically straightaway! There was this "multiplication effect" that I saw, I can't explain it properly but that would be the best way to describe it. I want to say more to clarify, but I feel that I can't at the moment, so I'll leave it at that. As for the photo, I digitally removed the building on the bottom right to respect the privacy of the residents.

X-Flaring!

SpaceWeather

Since 3 May when I posted about the X1.6-class flare, we've had 5 more X-class flares! All these came from Sunspot AR3664 (image above) and SpaceWeather expects more to emerge (here for more details).

This is the X4.5-class flare on 6 May:

....producing a radio blackout in the following areas, with many countries being affected again as they were on 3 May :

"BEHIND The Moon!" ~ MrMBB333

MrMBB333

Two sighting videos from MrMBB333 ~ the first one was such a hoot while the other one featured fascinating footage of a couple of objects.

Here's the link to the first video. While I do understand MrMBB333's excitement over the fact that the craft was seen flying behind the moon (which implies a sizeable craft), his repeated ".....behind the moon" was hilarious. I'm wondering what he would say if he ever gets a video of those colossal crafts chilling out near our Sun. This particular sighting is at the 4:30-minute mark.

The next video shows footage of two sightings that occurred on the day of the Total Solar Eclipse, 8 April 2024 (3:30-min & 6:30-min). Very strange, both. 

What's the sphere-like thing below the 3:30-min object?

MrMBB333 said that the later sighting (6:30-min) looked saucer-like ~ no argument there but when I slowed down the video, I see that the meteorite (or whatever) seems to fly through the object? Or is it the resolution/pixelation? Glitchy hologram? (shades of 911?).
