Second impulsive M-flare of the day for the new guy near the NE limb. Can we assume he's AR3058?

More on the Bastille Day Event (which was an X5.7 flare)...

THE BASTILLE DAY EVENT: You know a solar flare is strong when even the Voyager spacecraft feel it. Twenty-two years ago today (July 14, 2000) the sun exploded with so much force, it sent shockwaves to the edge of the solar system.

Earth was on the doorstep of the blast, nicknamed the "Bastille Day Event" because it happened on the national day of France. Subatomic particles accelerated by the flare peppered satellites and penetrated deep into Earth's atmosphere. Radiation sensors on Earth's surface registered a rare GLE--a "ground-level event."

Above: SOHO images of the X5.7-class Bastille Day solar flare (left) and CME (right). "Snow" in the images is a result of energetic protons hitting the spacecraft

"People flying in commercial jets at high latitudes would have received double their usual radiation dose," says Clive Dyer of the University of Surrey Space Centre in Guildford UK, who studies extreme space weather. "It was quite an energetic event--one of the strongest of the past 20 years."

A day later the CME arrived. Impact on July 15th sparked an extreme (Kp=9) geomagnetic storm. The sun had just set on the east coast of North America when the auroras appeared.

"I was out in the yard doing chores and saw bright red auroras overhead," recalls Uwe Heine of Caswell County, North Carolina. "I called over to our neighbor, Carrie, who was also outside. I told her those were not sunset colors. It was an aurora, and super rare to see this far south!"

Above: Auroras on July 15, 2000, photographed by (left) Grant Privett of Farnborough UK and (right) NASA's IMAGE spacecraft.

In New York, the sky exploded with light, recalls Lou Michael Moure. "I was living on Long Island at the time. A family member came running into my room, begging me to come outside to see 'the sky on fire.' The sky truly looked as if it was ablaze. Hues of white and green eventually gave way to reds that blanketed the heavens from horizon to horizon."

By the time the storm subsided on July 16th, auroras had been reported as far south as Texas, Florida and Mexico.

A few other storms of the Space Age have have been equally strong, but the Bastille Day Event is special to researchers. It was the first major solar storm after the 1995 launch of SOHO, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Data from the young satellite taught researchers a lot, very quickly, about the physics of extreme flares.

Tibor Török of Predictive Science, Inc., is one of many researchers still studying the Bastille Event decades later. "The event took place close to disk center, so we had a great view of the action," he says. Török recently applied a modern magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) computer model to some of the data, and found that 1033 ergs of magnetic energy were released in the explosion--about the same as a thousand billion WWII atomic bombs.

No wonder the Voyagers felt it.

It took the Bastille Day CME months to reach the distant spacecraft--180 days to Voyager 2, and 245 days to Voyager 1. Being near the edge of the solar system, both spacecraft were naturally bathed in high levels of cosmic rays. The CME swept aside that ambient radiation, creating a temporary reduction called a "Forbush Decrease." Conditions returned to normal 3 to 4 months later and, finally, the storm was over.

Could another Bastille Day Event be in the offing? Solar Cycle 25 is ramping up, with a new Solar Max expected in 2025. Stay tuned.

Bastille Day 2022 Recap-

Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction
Center

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached moderate levels following an M1 flare at 14/0431
UTC and an impulsive M2 flare at 14/2148 UTC from newly numbered Region
3058 (N15E71, Dao/Beta
). While a CME was observed from the first flare,
it is not expected to be Earth-directed due to the source location.
Regions 3053 (N15W34, Eko/beta) and 3056 (S17E23, Cao/beta) produced
numerous C-class enhancements, and Region 3055 (S17W21, Eki/beta)
remained the largest group in area on the visible disk. Region 3057
(N15E45, Eho/beta) was mostly unchanged in appearance from 24 hours ago.

No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares
(R1-R2, Minor-Moderate radio blackouts) and a slight chance for X-flares
(R3 Strong or greater radio blackouts) through 17 Jul.

Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Region Summary

The Big FIVE filaments are still holding fast... much to my amazement. A "sigmoid" is an "S'-shaped of 'J'-shaped configuration of magnetism. These shapes often lead to sudden violent eruptions. It's just something to watch out for.

I really enjoyed that special coverage of the Bastile-Day
Solar "Event" you did on the thread Simple 27 and Helios!
Great job and really fantastic information. Loved the
visuals as well. I guess you could look at THAT REPORT and
say to yourself..."Well...yeah, things on the sun could
be a WHOLE LOT WORSE!" (Glad we are NOT seeing this level of
solar activity recently--though that could change, of course.) Thanks again...I'm saving it. hf

If you are wondering about the "Cascadia Fault Zone"
(along the Pacific NW Coast) Ben Davidson presents some
very cool charts and information about what they are
finding in a new study. Seems that "lava intrusion" drives
a good deal of quake activity. I was in a minor quake back
in 1990's in NW

Oregon--threw me out of my bed and I thought
I was back in my old mobile home that used to "jiggle" when
someone would run hard from front-to-back. Felt just like

Large Filament Liftoff- At around 1400z the big filament in the north near mid-disk flew away suddenly towards the west.

Watch it here:

I assume the CME was from this event.

I can't tell if there's an Earth-directed component or not. I suppose we'll just have to wait a few days for NOAA supercomputers to analyze it, lol. Filaments are known for flying off at weird angles irregardless of their position on the disk.

Space weather will delay your trains- What?

Fluctuations in space weather are disrupting train signals and causing significant delays. A project investigating the effect of solar storms on railway signals will be presented this week at the National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2022) by Cameron Patterson, a PhD student at Lancaster University.

The sun's tendency to affect technology on Earth, as well as in space, is known as space weather. In railways, electric currents caused to flow in the earth by solar activity can interfere with the normal operation of signals, turning green signals to red even when there is no train nearby.

Patterson says: "Most of us have at one point heard the dreaded words: 'your train is delayed due to a signalling failure', and while we usually connect these faults to rain, snow and leaves on the line, you may not have considered that the Sun can also cause railway signals to malfunction."

Interesting full report here:

CERN seems very interested in the Van Allen radiation belts.....hmmmmnnnn.

AI CubeSat headed to Van Allen Belts on Vega-C

An ESA-financed nanosatellite, due to lift off aboard the inaugural flight of Vega-C Wednesday, will operate an AI system in the harsh, radiation-wracked environment of the Van Allen Belts. The shoebox-sized Trisat-R - one of six 'CubeSats' on the flight, headed up to a rarely-trafficked, close to 6000 km altitude orbit - is also carrying radiation-detection payloads from CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Research, Slovenian firm SkyLabs and ESA itself.
(snip).....

..... Today this layer is a major influence on an everyday technology we all rely on: 'scintillations' as signals pass through the ionosphere are a leading error source for satellite navigation.

"Using a pre-trained AI neural network it will attempt to identify and compensate for scintillation effects. Another experiment will assess the performance of software-defined radio within this challenging environment."


CERN has contributed its Space RadMon radiation monitor - developed from technology used to measure the Large Hadron Collider's surroundings - while ESA is flying its CHIMERA board, the latest in a family of payloads testing the susceptibility of commercial computer memories to space radiation. SkyLabs' monitor will assess the cumulative damage done - known as 'Total Ionising Dose'.

Today 5 C-flares from AR3056 and 5 C-flares from AR3058 and a couple from 3057, too.

# Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center
#
Solar Activity 24 hr Summary...

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3058 (N14E56, Dao/beta)
produced the strongest event of the period, a C5/SN flare at 15/1816
UTC. The region exhibited minor development around its intermediate
spots over the past 24 hours. Region 3053 (N17W61, Cki/beta) decayed in
overall area in the latter half of the period. Region 3057 (N16E16,
Cki/beta) grew in area around the trailer spot. Region 3055 (S18W48,
Eki/beta) underwent minor penumbral decay in its trailer spot. Region
3056 (S18W01, beta) had consolidation and development observed in its
intermediate spots. Newly numbered Region 3059 (Dao/beta) was mostly
stable.

Other activity included an approximately 60 degree filament eruption
north of center disk. It began erupting after 15/1308 UTC. Most of the
ejecta was reabsorbed but a subsequent CME signature was observed in
SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 15/1548 UTC. Analysis and modeling is
underway to determine the timing of any Earth-directed component.


.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be low with a chance for M-class flares
(R1-R2, Minor-Moderate radio blackouts) and a slight chance for X-flares
(R3 Strong or greater radio blackouts) through 18 Jul.

An ESA-financed nanosatellite, due to lift off aboard the inaugural flight of Vega-C Wednesday, will operate an AI system in the harsh, radiation-wracked environment of the Van Allen Belts. The shoebox-sized Trisat-R - one of six 'CubeSats' on the flight, headed up to a rarely-trafficked, close to 6000 km altitude orbit - is also carrying radiation-detection payloads from CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Research, Slovenian firm SkyLabs and ESA itself.
(snip).....

..... Today this layer is a major influence on an everyday technology we all rely on: 'scintillations' as signals pass through the ionosphere are a leading error source for satellite navigation.

"Using a pre-trained AI neural network it will attempt to identify and compensate for scintillation effects. Another experiment will assess the performance of software-defined radio within this challenging environment."


CERN has contributed its Space RadMon radiation monitor - developed from technology used to measure the Large Hadron Collider's surroundings - while ESA is flying its CHIMERA board, the latest in a family of payloads testing the susceptibility of commercial computer memories to space radiation. SkyLabs' monitor will assess the cumulative damage done - known as 'Total Ionising Dose'.

Did you guys catch the Solar Report from Nemesis Maturity
this A.M.? The sun had a spectacular FILAMENT RELEASE
MANY 1,000'S OF MILES LONG yesterday. Great visuals in
his new report. Wow!

CANYON OF FIRE ERUPTS FROM THE SUN 7-16-2022

Predicted CME impact July 18th or 19th. Stay Tuned
on this one! Schumann was a white-out for several hours
following the filament eruption and CME.

It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.

CHANCE OF FLARES: There are half-a-dozen large sunspots on the sun today. At least two of them (AR3057 and AR3058) pose a threat for strong flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 45% chance of M-class flares and a 10% chance of X-flares on July 16th.

The M-flare from 3055 caused another large filament to erupt in the far SW. Possible CME will result.
