It is potentially interesting because of its unusually high latitude.

The off-target plasma cloud was hurled into space during the late hours of July 31st when the corpse of old sunspot AR2849 erupted. SOHO (the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) recorded the liftoff: https://imgur.com/EjBxRl5 The "star" gliding above the sun is Mercury. The CME missed it, too. In July the sun produced more than a dozen relatively bright CMEs. None of them hit Earth. Many were near misses, sailing just to left or right of our planet. What are the odds? If August brings a reversion to the mean, the sun might land a blow and finally trigger a geomagnetic storm. [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

User ID: 77640678 United States 08/02/2021 05:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BREAKING: BIG NEWS FOR SOLAR WATCHERS! Wow, I almost missed this important info.... seems to be rather hush-hush for some reason. NOAA plans to launch a spaceweather satellite with solar wind monitors and a coronagraph! It would seem to me they need to replace the aging ACE and SoHO spacecraft in the near future. Remember the DSCVR vehicle was originally supposed to carry a coronagraph but it was nixed to save money and keep Al Gore's stupid Earth albedo camera. This has just been green-lighted for design phase so it may not launch for years. I sure hope they fast-track it because we may need it soon. I also wish NASA would double-down on the STEREO concept. NOAA PLANS NEW SPACE WEATHER PROBE (SWFO-L1)-- Ball Aerospace successfully completed the preliminary design review (PDR) for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) spacecraft. With PDR complete, the spacecraft now moves into the critical design phase. Ball was awarded the contract to design and build the SWFO-L1 spacecraft on June 25, 2020 by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on behalf of NOAA. SWFO-L1 is an operational mission that will collect solar wind data and coronal imagery to meet NOAA's operational requirements to monitor and forecast solar storm activity.

The launch is either set for 2024 (NASA) or Feb. 2025 (wiki). Either way it should be near Solar Maximum. The Solar Wind Plasma Sensor (SWiPS) has a hefty price tag of $15.5M--and I bet coronagraph cameras aren't cheap either.

It's a stasis point between Earth's gravity and Sol's gravity--about 1 million miles away from Earth. SWFO-L1 NOAA Homepage (??-not much there!): [link to www.nesdis.noaa.gov (secure)] From NASA announcement of the SWiPS contract last Year-- "The principal purpose of this requirement within the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) Project is to design, analyze, develop, fabricate, integrate, test, calibrate, evaluate, and support launch and on-orbit check-out of the Solar Wind Plasma Sensor (SWiPS) instrument as part of the SWFO-L1 Observatory. SWFO-L1 will provide NOAA with the continuity of solar wind data and coronal mass ejection imagery, the National Weather Service’s highest priority for space weather observations. The SWFO-L1 satellite, which is planned to launch in 2024 as a rideshare with the NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, will collect upstream solar wind data and coronal imagery to support NOAA’s mission to monitor and forecast space weather events.

NASA launches x-ray spectrometer mission to probe mysteries of solar corona "Developers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, call the mission "MaGIXS" - short for Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer. It launched from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico at 2:20 p.m. EDT on July 30. The MaGIXS mission dispatched its payload - which included a high-powered camera, telescope, and X-ray spectrometer containing a matched pair of grazing incidence parabolic mirrors - to study so-called "soft" X-rays at a wavelength that hasn't been previously observed in such detail.... The Sun's surface temperature is more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit - but the corona routinely measures more than 1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit. One of the biggest questions in astrophysics, Winebarger said, is how this process occurs."

User ID: 77640678 United States 08/05/2021 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What About Coronal Dimmings?? Coronal dimmings are often observed in response to solar eruptive events, and are visible in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imagery of the solar corona as temporary dark voids. They were first observed in Skylab (1970s) and Yohkoh (1990s) data and called transient coronal holes, because of the close resemblance to coronal holes but with much shorter lifetimes. Further studies with the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO) revealed their close association to the source of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and have established that these (EUV) dimmings are a good indicator of the apparent base of the white light CME. Thus, dimmings are usually interpreted as mass depletions due to the loss or rapid expansion of the overlying corona. Extended statistical studies have found that CMEs also occur without dimmings, and that coronal dimmings are more likely to occur near active regions.

Solar activity was at very low levels. Region 2853 (N23, L=194) produced a surge associated with a B3 enhancement to the X-ray flux beginning at approximately 09/1802 UTC. However, other than the aforementioned event, it was mostly unremarkable and decayed to plage over the later half of the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. .Forecast... Very low solar activity is expected to continue on 10-12 Aug. (expect an M-flare soon, LOL) We may have a new far side region in the south soon (3 days or so).
