NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft is monitoring an active region on the farside of the sun. It might be a sunspot. We'll soon find out as the region rotates into view over the sun's NE limb a few days from now. https://imgur.com/a37DNDb [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

No, it won't hit, but you can be excused a frisson of dread watching it pass by. This weekend, Apophis made a "pre-flyby" of Earth about 16 million km away, the closest it will be before the big event in 2029.

User ID: 78918190 United States 03/12/2021 12:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | RARE RED AURORAS: It's not easy for Earth's atmosphere to make red auroras. Even longtime Arctic photographers and tour guides rarely see them. Yet, on March 10th, there they were: https://imgur.com/EVULaSh Rayann Elzein sends this picture from Utsjoki in the Finnish Lapland. "The red auroras looked pale white to my unaided eye, but a quick exposure with my camera revealed their true color." What's so tricky about red? The action, if you can call it that, takes place more than 150 km above Earth's surface. At that high altitude, oxygen atoms excited by solar wind slowly spit out red photons. Emphasis on slowly. The radiative lifetime of the transition is 110 seconds--an eternity at the quantum scale. The atoms must remain undisturbed that long to produce their red light. Perhaps that's why red auroras often appear when conditions are quiet. "The solar wind speed last night was quite low and there was no expectation of a geomagnetic storm," says Elzein. Tonight is expected to be quiet as well. Red auroras, anyone? [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

User ID: 78918190 United States 03/13/2021 01:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Co-Rotating Interaction Region (CIR) is Expected to Hit Earth's Magnetic Field - Solar Storm Watch A minor G1-class geomagnetic storm is possible on March 13th when a fast-moving stream of solar wind hits Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a southern hole in the sun's atmosphere. But that's not all. Later today, a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. CIRs are transition zones between slow- and fast-moving streams of solar wind. Solar wind plasma piles up in these regions, creating density gradients and shock waves that can rock Earth’s magnetic field much like a coronal mass ejection (CME). CIRs are a way for the sun to spark auroras without explosive solar activity. All that’s required is a fast solar wind stream brushing up against a slower one. In the transition zone, thick rivulets of plasma press magnetic fields together, creating strong shock-like structures that mimic CMEs. Indeed, some forecasters refer to co-rotating interaction regions as “mini-CMEs.” Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

User ID: 78918190 United States 03/13/2021 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THE GREAT QUEBEC BLACKOUT: They call it "the day the sun brought darkness." On March 13, 1989, a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field. Ninety seconds later, the Hydro-Québec power grid failed. During the 9 hour blackout that followed, millions of Quebecois found themselves with no light or heat, wondering what was going on? "It was the biggest geomagnetic storm of the Space Age," says Dr. David Boteler, head of the Space Weather Group at Natural Resources Canada. "March 1989 has become the archetypal disturbance for understanding how solar activity can cause blackouts." https://imgur.com/QpMEAIP Above: Sunspot 5395, source of the March 1989 solar storms. From "A 21st Century View of the March 1989 Magnetic Storm" by D. Boteler. It seems hard to believe now, but in 1989 few people realized solar storms could bring down power grids. The warning bells had been ringing for more than a century, though. In Sept. 1859, a similar CME hit Earth's magnetic field--the infamous "Carrington Event"--sparking a storm twice as strong as March 1989. Electrical currents surged through Victorian-era telegraph wires, in some cases causing sparks and setting telegraph offices on fire. These were the same kind of currents that would bring down Hydro-Québec. "The March 1989 blackout was a wake-up call for our industry," says Dr. Emanuel Bernabeu of PJM, a regional utility that coordinates the flow of electricity in 13 US states. "Now we take geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) very seriously." [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] A lot more info in link ^^^ ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
