Hello, Sungazers! SIXTEEN C-flares so far today! About half of those coming from a region beyond the NE limb. The rest were split between ARs 3107 & 3105.

I've been dealing with a change in my day job and haven't been able to follow every event. I can't wait to see what's around the bend.....

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2 CLASS): NOAA forecasters say that G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Oct. 1st in response to a double blow: (1) A solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field; it is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. (2) A CME will pass very close to Earth, potentially grazing our planet; it left the sun on Sept. 28th.

SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES (UPDATED): A large and active sunspot group is about to rotate over the sun's northeastern limb. It's not even here yet and it has already unleashed an M2.9-class solar flare:

https://imgur.com/seTdrds


The explosion (Sept. 30th @ 1622 UT) was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. The unobstructed flare was probably much stronger.

Helioseismologists have been tracking this sunspot group for more than a week. It is altering the way the whole sun vibrates, creating a dark echo in acoustic maps of the farside of the sun. Soon we will see it with our own eyes.

Solar Activity

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached minor levels(Huh?) . Newly numbered Region 3112 (N20E76,
Hsx/alpha) produced multiple C-class flares in addition the periods
largest event; an impulsive M2 flare at 30/1622 UTC. New Region 3113
(N16W14, Cao/beta) developed rapidly this period but remained quiet. The
remaining four active regions with sunspots were either stable single
spots, or simple beta regions in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were
detected this period.

.Forecast...
Solar activity is expected to be low with a strong chance for M-class
and a slight chance for X-class flare activity over 01-03 Oct.
wtf

Corrections & Commentary by Helios Maximus--

Where to begin....... Firstly there's no such thing as "minor" levels, LOL. The standard terminology is Low> Moderate> High> Extreme.

Secondly, the M2.97 DID NOT COME FROM new AR3112. Neither was the subsequent M1 flare. AR3112 was already Earth-side when the partially-occulted-by-the-limb M-flares erupted. It was 1 or possibly 2 more sunspots coming over in the NE.

Thirdly, the official NOAA sunspot summary lists 3112 as an 'alpha' sunspot (the quietest type). Alpha spots never produce 3 M-flares in 24-hrs. in my memory....very unlikely.

Fourth, predicting the weather will be clear tomorrow with a strong chance of hail and a slight chance for typhoons.

SWPC must be playing video games all day instead of observing solar activity. We need to evacuate Boulder and move in some serious people. I rest my case.

Re: SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)
The reason I highlighted AR3110 above is twofold-

First off, AR3110 is not a simple Alpha in my opinion. It's Beta or Beta-Gamma in magnetic structure. As of now it doesn't appear alpha to me.

Latest HMI Magnetogram:
[link to jsoc.stanford.edu]

Secondly, I think we may have a smallish filament CME pointed directly at Earth. I'd say a 50/50 chance of a 'surprise CME' impact in about 3 days. 3110 contains a volatile sigmoid filament which has activated around the east of the big spot. Yesterday 3110 was directly Earth-facing and possibly shot an arrow of plasma at us. I haven't seen much evidence in the coronagraph imagery though. But consider this-- look for the red & blue marks denoting plasma flow in the SEEDS difference animation. They form a perfect triangle with Earth's POV in the center. This could be the signature of a small blast hitting you right between the eyes.

SEEDS movie of potentially Earth-directed plasma:

[link to spaceweather.gmu.edu]

This is nothing to be alarmed about but I'm keen to see if anything happens. I have a long-standing theory that NOAA can't see CMEs unless they're huge or someone like me points it out for them. I believe the 'occult-ing' disk blinds them to small ejections aimed straight at SoHO cameras. The imagery has gaps and I don't know if this will miss us entirely. But we at GLP SOLAR WATCH have seen these 'stealth' CMEs cause geomagnetic storms in the past.

The SLS rocket, the most powerful ever designed by NASA, had to be returned overnight to its storage hangar in order to shelter it from the approach of Hurricane Ian.

The next possible launch windows -- determined according to the positions of the Earth and the Moon -- are from October 17 to 31, then from November 12 to 27.

The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.

~ Thomas Jefferson, Inaugural Address, 1801


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.

~ Thomas Jefferson, 1779
