Finally got my computer at UAF back up and running again, so you know what that means... more timelapse processing! Here's a new one from 2023-09-09
La doble erupción sincronizada, de nuestra amada estrella. Son CME´s lentas pero decentes.😀😋😛🧐
NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail system has deployed in low Earth orbit! It’s testing technology to use the tiny force of sunlight — roughly equivalent to the weight of a paperclip resting on your palm — to overcome drag and gain altitude. More: go.nasa.gov/4b1Ty3w
Poles are literally FASCINATING
Does anyone else find it FASCINATING that there is an ‘off’ to accompany the ‘on’ ?

We see the X-RAY FLOW graph GOES M-class flares.

Well it was looking that way BEFORE it took a break…. Over the next few rotations we will see if the uptick brings us back up….. what else can we say?
Exciting technology on board! #ClearSkies

“Space Weather is Relentless: How a Planet Lives With A Star” Sounds like a great title for a talk……
If confirmed, we may just have seen the highest daily sunspot number in 20 years. helioforecast.space/solarcycle
Happy #EarthDay2024! Each and every day, we are committed to actionable science and research for the betterment of our planet, from atmosphere to ocean and everything in between! Video: MPAS visualization @cloudpr0phet/@NCAR_MMM mmm.ucar.edu/models/mpas
Long way to see if this is a multi-rotational bump, but it has been a while since we’ve seen these numbers. #HaleCycle #Terminator #SunspotCycle25
HIGHEST SUNSPOT NUMBER IN 20 YEARS: The current daily sunspot number (270), a measure of solar activity, has reached its highest number since August 2002 (281). That was the peak of Solar Cycle 23. So much for those claiming we are in a Grand Solar Minimum!

Launching next week: Our Advanced Composite Solar Sail System aims to navigate the solar system using sunlight as propulsion. This demo satellite tests the viability of solar sailing for future missions, promising more affordable access to space: nasa.gov/image-article/…
Surge continues. The SWPC daily #sunspot number today was 247. New #SolarCycle25 high (also 14 regions). SILSO was oddly only 214. Its high is 6/20/23, 245. Official daily 20z SFU was 227 (Slightly flare enhanced). Ranks 4th, #SC25 SWPC data. #Natgas #LaNina #climatechange
cc @fadilinc ¿El evento Nº7 2024 clase X estará ahí? 😈 ¡Veremos! 🖖🪖🏃🫡🤦♂️
¿El máximo? ... ... ¿quién sabe realmente lo que es el Máximo Solar SC25? Cojan su equipo de combate , su casco y... ¿a formar! -.-Es una orden-.- 🪖👿🫡🧐

@frankmhowell @swmcintosh @leamonrj Sent this to Scott a while ago. Fun to be a fly on the wall. 😎 youtube.com/watch?v=a4ys6Y…
@swmcintosh @leamonrj I believe that this is called…forecasting!
@swmcintosh @frankmhowell @leamonrj Two more years would be great.
After diving past the Sun's west-limb, @ESASolarOrbiter is now in a great position to monitor magnetic activity on the far-side. Here's a comparison of the JSOC helioseismic inversion for the far-side, and low latency data from the @EuiTelescope; with the contours matching well.
NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail system has deployed in low Earth orbit! It’s testing technology to use the tiny force of sunlight — roughly equivalent to the weight of a paperclip resting on your palm — to overcome drag and gain altitude. More: go.nasa.gov/4b1Ty3w
Noé Lugaz of @UNHEOS talking about the extension of CMEs and possible future spacecraft missions on distant retrograde orbits in the @ESASolarOrbiter eruptive events working group. Follow sites.google.com/view/solo-wg/ if you want to take part in these discussions.
A new study suggests that Earth's magnetic field formed before the planet's core, providing protection from cosmic radiation as life began to emerge around 3.5 to 3.7 billion years ago. 1/ 👉 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
Updated my pipeline for combining @NASASun SDO/AIA/HMI data with @ESASolarOrbiter /EUI/PHI. Here's an example from late 2023 with Solar Orbiter on the far-side of the Sun, giving us a nearly 4pi-view! We can compare this with far-side helioseismology (jsoc) and flare activity! 😎
I fail to see the point of increasing defence spending when we can't stop people in rubber dinghies arriving on our beaches. In that case how do you suppose we are going to stop the Russians? By giving them asylum
Saturn, the 6th planet from the Sun & the 2nd-largest in our solar system, is a mesmerizing world with its intricate ring system & a plethora of moons. Among its many enigmatic features, perhaps none are as captivating as the hexagon-shaped cloud pattern found near its N pole. 1/
@swmcintosh Thanks, you too. Still watching that damn graph. The sun is relentless and trying keeping up with it is so much fun. I've got to be careful tho', I get too wrapped up in it sometimes which can be hazardous to health. youtube.com/watch?v=7yBhlY…
@swmcintosh I feel you're right.😎 Even tho' I'm just bloke who started watching a graph, lmsal.com, after hearing a thing on the radio in Seattle in 2003 about a solar flare. Now a carer for an elderly neighbour, pc tech on the side and Aussie again now.
@swmcintosh @theauroraguy Forgot to reply to this, but yes, binning it the same way it seems like the most apparent "off" is at Carrington rotation 2183. Zooming out and binning more rotations with those two rotations marked it also stands out fairly well.
As a launch photographer I am really falling in love with this #Electron 🚀 launch location...I feel a trip down under to New Zealand may have to happen at some point..this image is just awesome . . . @RocketLab #BeginningOfTheSwarm #SolarSailDemonstration
Lift-off in New Zealand minutes ago of the #Electron 🚀 by Rocket Lab flight #BeginningOfTheStorm and the NASA #SolarSailDemonstration en-route to the deployment altitude.
Here’s mine:
We see the X-RAY FLOW graph GOES M-class flares.
Lately the sun has been somewhat active let's look at that filament flare on the northeast side of the sun.
@swmcintosh The Sun is always exciting. Being able to observe its evolution is a gift. 🙂
