The STEREO-A COR 2 saw the debris flying over the Sun's eastern limb. The blast site was hidden from view, so we don't know what exploded. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

It has half a dozen Moon-sized dark cores, scattered across an area 50,000 km wide. This disorganized spot group so far poses no threat for strong solar flares.

The eruption was captured in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The prominence eruption produced a coronal mass ejection (CME), seen in the latest imagery of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). Analysis determined the CME was not Earth-directed.

User ID: 79996250 United States 04/13/2021 11:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 5,200 Tons of Extraterrestrial Dust Rain Down on Earth Every Single Year We've known for a while that Earth is under a constant rain of space dust, and that it's copious. Given its microscopic size, however, it's been very hard to obtain an accurate estimate of the quantity. Such micrometeorites are no bigger than a fraction of a millimeter, shed like space dander from passing comets and asteroids. After two decades of collecting the stuff in Antarctica, an international team of scientists now has a number: around 5,200 tons of micrometeorites smaller than 700 micrometers (0.7 millimeters), every year. the full article: [link to www.sciencealert.com (secure)] Last Edited by joinca on 04/13/2021 11:20 AM "The government will one day be corrupt and full of liars, and the people will flock to the one that tells the truth." - “Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.” - "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - "A Country with no Border, is not a country" -- Thomas Jefferson We MUST NEVER forget what Kamala Harris did to Justice Kavanaugh & his family! |

User ID: 78318941 United States 04/15/2021 04:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SOUTHERN SUNSPOT ACTIVITY: The sun's southern hemisphere is showing signs of life. Three sunspots are growing there. Their dark cores are inset in this surface magnetogram from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory: https://imgur.com/byAobF3 The +/- magnetic polarity of all three spots marks them as members of new Solar Cycle 25. The young solar cycle has been struggling to produce sunspots, so three at once is a notable uptick in activity. If their growth continues apace, the two new sunspots will likely receive official designations AR2815 and AR2816 tomorrow. [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Once upon a time I posted an article somewhere on this very thread; which explained how you can harvest these micrometeorites from your very own roof and gutters. Of course have to filter the residue and tease out the extraterrestrial particles. Good stuff (tho I never tried it myself). Search the net and you'll find the piece (I'll search my archives).

A warning for moderate (G2) storming was also added, but so far that threshold has not been reached. Aurora sky watchers should remain alert while it is still dark outside.
