User ID: 36881605 United States 05/13/2022 01:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THE FIRST SUNQUAKE OF SOLAR CYCLE 25: Twenty-six years ago, researchers discovered seismic activity on the sun. A team led by Dr. Alexander Kosovichev, then at Stanford University, found circular waves rippling from the core of some solar flares, like this: Quoting: Simple27 https://imgur.com/8bQQOHr They named the tremors "sunquakes"--much like earthquakes except incredibly more powerful. A typical sunquake contains 40,000 times the energy released in the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. These solar seismic waves appear to be compression waves like the "P" waves generated by an earthquake. They travel through the sun's interior and probably recombine on the opposite side of the sun to create a faint duplicate of the original ripple pattern. Kosovichev and colleagues have since observed hundreds of sunquakes. Not all flares produce them, which is a mystery. Moreover, the ripples behave strangely. A typical wave starts off at an initial speed of ~20,000 mph, then accelerates to a maximum of 250,000 mph before disappearing. No one knows exactly why. "We have just detected the first sunquake of Solar Cycle 25," announces Kosovichev, who is now a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). "It rippled away from the X1.5-class solar flare of May 10, 2022." The movie below, centered on the blast site, shows concentric rings emerging from the turbulent surface of the sun: https://imgur.com/BHHjBZR When Kosovichev discovered sunquakes in 1996, he stretched the images fourfold to highlight the ripples for press releases. This week's sunquake he has left in its raw form--not quite as easy to see, but just as impressive for a different reason. "I wanted people to appreciate how the ripples are nearly overwhelmed by turbulence," he explains. "This is why it took us so long to discover them." Solar Cycle 25 is intensifying rapidly and many more sunquakes are in the offing. The mysterious ripples could teach researchers a great deal about the magnetic underpinnings of sunspots and how they produce the strongest flares. "We are ready to learn," says Kosovichev. Let the tremors begin. [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] Simple27! Interesting article--didn't know this before, always great to get new info on our star! Waiting for the FULL LUNAR ECLIPSE ON SUNDAY... Said to be spectacular "blood red moon" due to the moon being closest point to our Earth when the eclipse takes place. You don't NEED A BOX to see it (it's the moon, not the sun being eclipsed! lol!) But I think this picture is a riot! We really did this version of "watching the eclipse" back in the day. It was exciting! Have a great weekend! Thanks for all the info.

Solar activity was low. A C4/Sf flare, the largest event of the period, was observed at 13/1009 UTC from a region that has yet to rotate around the northeast limb. Newly numbered Region 3011 (N16E73, Bxo/beta) emerged onto the visible disk but was difficult to categorize due to its proximity to the limb. New Region 3012 (S20E01, Bxo/beta) was numbered as a distinct group, separate from Region 3007 (S24W01, Ekc/beta). Region 3007 was responsible for most of the C-class flaring throughout the period, showing signs of separation in its intermediate spots. The remaining sunspot groups were quiet and stable. There were no Earth-directed CMEs observed in available imagery. The eruptive prominence mentioned in the previous discussion product was determined not to be geoeffective. .Forecast... Solar activity is expected to be low, with a chance for moderate levels R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate), and a slight chance for high levels (R3-Strong) on 14-16 May.

I know I tend to use the regular spaceweather site more often than the live site. I follow the live site on twitter though. :) Simple27! [Rubs chin...considers getting twitter...] I will usually check in with Ben Davidson in the early A.M.'s myself--one on a list of resources I check to see if the "outside world" will affect my "inside world!" (Some days, yes...some days NOT-SO-MUCH!) [link to youtu.be (secure)] Daily Report from Suspicious Observers (S.O.) for May 16, 2022. This video up today has one TINY FLAW that I think you will notice right away watching it (the first 1 minute.) That is, Ben publishes his "Daily Report" of spaceweather and various subjects related to it--around 6:00 A.M. EST. If you'll notice the UTC timing on the solar videos, with an example for TODAY...the M-Class solar flares took off from the solar surface around 7:00 A.M. plus or minus minutes for the folks to get the info PUBLIC. That means Ben needs to play "catch-up" with a 2nd video (should anything MAJOR take place after his 6:00 A.M. post --which I have seen him do)...or WAIT until the next day's report. He appears to give the "everything is QUIET" signal and had "missed the M-Class/C-Class solar flares for 5-16-2022! That is because they happened AFTER his report went out. So...this ONE VIDEO is not the "end all" (at least for me) during the morning "check-out!" I also do my own homework to check various bookmarked sites. Just thought I would mention this since I have realized not EVERYONE goes to the actual site location of these spaceweather/geology/weather/rumor mills, etc. for their own information!

Solar activity was low with background X-ray flux at C-class levels and eight sunspot groups present on the visible disk. New NOAA/SWPC Region 3018 (S12E54, Cro/beta) was assigned to a recently emerged, small group of spots that was largely inactive. Region 3007 (S23W48, Esi/beta) underwent decay and was mainly inactive. Region 3010 (S15E10, Cso/beta) continued to slowly decay and produced a C9.9 flare at 17/1145 UTC. Region 3014 (N22E31, Dac/beta-gamma) continued spot consolidation and growth, while the delta config split apart into separate penumbrae, however, mixed polarity spots developed in trailer section. Despite this instability, activity was mostly C-class enhancements and small flares. The remaining regions were mainly little changed. A CME was first clearly observed at 17/0548 UTC in SOHO/LASCO imagery from the east limb. The source is inconclusive, but may be related to a C6.2 flare from Region 3015 (N13E28, Hsx/alpha). .Forecast... Low solar activity is expected to continue, with a chance for M-class flares (R1-R2; Minor-Moderate radio blackouts) and slight chance for X-class activity (R3; Strong) 18-20 May.
