NEWS: June 4, 2014: M-Class Solar Flare, Kepler-10c Exoplanet & Solar Wi...

SUBSCRIBE for daily video. Past 24
hours on the Sun were way more eventful than the last couple of weeks
put together. Shortly after the upload yesterday, the more active
Beta-Gamma group 12077 fired off an M-Class solar flare which measured a
1.3 in the M Range. Helioviewer Servers had some issues at this most
critical time and custom video images could be compiled of that time
range. Our 'friends' at Lockheed Martin did manage to get footage of it
as well. Albeit black and white. No close range images can be accessed
at this time. In terms of trajectory, the ENLIL plots have not yet been
updated with the particle wave propagation data. But this may due to no
coronal mass ejections being produced. I have a feeling that at some
point Lockheed Martin, a US military contractor, is going to start
blocking access to solar data, so we can't get to it.
That
incoming plasma filament I mentioned yesterday, and as you can probably
tell from the SDO imagery, is still there. It hasn't yet destabilized
and becomes a bigger and bigger threat as it rotates into the earth
facing position. What you can tell from ENLIL however is that this
filament resides on a negative polarity area. If you look close in the
center and out to the outer ring of the ENLIL spiral you see the
contours are either blue or red. This denotes magnetic polarity. You
will also see that the Earth's connection to the Sun resides on a
positively charged area. Perhaps the switch in polarity or another
strong solar flare may finally destabilize this plasma filament. This
usually happens after a big solar flare where 3-5 filament lift
consecutively, one after the other.
Coronal holes are still a
non-issue really. The incomer on the south pole is currently blocked by
the Sun's magnetic field but it is reaching mighty high up to the solar
equator. Low to medium power only. The ENLIL also shows that we are in a
weak coronal hole stream now. But if you look the NOAA solar wind
plots, it's hard to see any shockwave at all from this coronal hole
stream. The solar wind took a slow rise but density didn't really
respond. The Earth didn't respond either. Only 3 quakes above MAG5.0.
Good for the planet's residents. Another thing that was good for
residents, at least in my area was another humid day without a single
contrail. Severe storms did form though party charged by the M-Class
solar flare earlier today and the weak coronal hole, solar wind
increase.
Astronomers have discovered a rocky planet that weighs
17 times as much as Earth and is more than twice as large in size. This
discovery has planet formation theorists challenged to explain how such
a world could have formed. But im sure Wallace Thornhill or David
Talbot will have an explanation for it. Kepler-10c, as it had been
named, had a previously measured size of 2.3 times larger than Earth but
its mass was not known until now. The team used the HARPS-North
instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, in the Canary Islands to
conduct follow-up observations to obtain a mass measurement of this
newly found planet. Kepler-10c orbits a sun-like star every 45 days,
making it too hot to sustain life as we know it. It is located about 560
light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco.
Checking the
geomagnetic conditions at Earth now, looking at the Solar Wind plot we
that the current solar wind readings are at 345km/s and dropping at the
moment. We maybe exiting the weak coronal hole particle stream. The
proton density component of the solar wind is coming in at an elevated
6.2P/cm3 and that's where it was for most of the day today, except for a
couple of small density shocks this morning. The earth's magnetic
field, 40% weaker than usual but handling it fine. Again morning
obviously seeing the bigger fluctuations with the vertical b0field
vector (purple line) dipping south the -8nT and staying above 0 for most
of the day until the end of day June 3, UTC time. The more recent Bz
dips went no lower than -6nT. A non-event really. Our planet's magnetic
connection to the Sun resides on. The current planetary KP Index is 2.
