Class M2 8 Flare & Geomagnetic Storm in Progress HD

  
Best viewed with window expanded.
The American government is still in lock down but the sun waits for no one. And aren't we delighted the sun has a mind of her own.
At long last... a noteworthy solar flare to report. A moderate eruption measuring M2.8 was just detected around sunspot complex 1864-1865 in the southeast quadrant. SDO/EVE captures the flare which peaked at 01:48 UTC early Wednesday morning. The active regions are not yet in the best postion for Earth directed explosions, however I will provide further updates if a CME is associated.
Wish you all a great week and thank you for watching :)

2013 07 10 CME to Impact Earth -- Geomagnetic Storm HD

A minor C6.2 solar flare was detected at 04:13 UTC around region 1856. New regions 1860 and 1861 located in the southeast quadrant were numbered overnight. Region 1861 produced a low level C-Flare at 05:08 UTC. All other regions remained stable. Sunspot 1855 continues to fade and will soon rotate onto the southwest limb. There will remain a chance for isolated C-Class solar flares. And more .....
The audio got muted (a first for this instrumental from Inception) They also muted my voice along with the music but today put my voice with my poetry back. THANK YOU YOUTUBE!

2013 10 01 MAGNIFICENT ERUPTION UPDATE HD

 
And SOLAR RADIATION STORM

Best viewed with window expanded,

We have another view from SDO as the lens zooms in at AIA SDO lenses (211, 193, 171) At 2million 600,000Kelvin to show the filament ripping through the sun's atmosphere and leaving behind a "canyon of fire." The glowing "canyon" traces the channel where magnetic forces held the filament aloft before the explosion.

This event also hurled a magnificent CME into space:). The magnetized cloud, which left the sun traveling approximately 900 km/s (2 million mph), was not aimed toward Earth. Nevertheless, our planet's magnetosphere might receive a glancing blow on Oct. 2-3. Polar geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the CME arrives.

A couple of potential regions are currently located behind the east limb, including old region 1840 and should begin to rotate into view over the next 24 hours. There is no current data available for the solar ejecta.

Solar Radiation Storm is at S2
Moderate


Biological: passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to elevated radiation risk.***

Satellite operations: infrequent single-event upsets possible.

Other systems: small effects on HF propagation through the polar regions and navigation at polar cap locations possibly affected.
