LASCO C2 | April 8-13 HUGE Prominance & Comet into Sun




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9M8DEcnQS4

SpaceWeather.com | HUGE Solar Prominences erupted from the sun's northwestern limb today - April 13, 2010

OMG! HUGE PROMINENCE: One of the biggest prominences in years erupted from the sun's northwestern limb today. The massive plasma-filled structure rose up and burst during a ~2 hour period around 0900 UT. Mark Townley sends this freeze-frame from his backyard observatory in Brierley Hill, West Midlands, UK:

The eruption hurled a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space: SOHO movie:

The cloud is not heading toward Earth, at least not directly. A glancing blow from the outskirts of the CME is possible two to three days from now, but any impact is likely to be mild. The eruption was more photogenic than geoeffective.

HAARP Fluxgate Magnetometer Update - April 12, 2010 at 6:00 AM CDT

The chart below is a running 36 hour plot of the readings taken from the fluxgate magnetometer, built by the University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute, operating at the HAARP ionospheric observatory in Gakona, Alaska. The three traces represent mutually orthogonal components of the earth's magnetic field as follows:
  • The "H" component (black trace) is positive magnetic northward
  • The "D" component (red trace) is positive eastward
  • The "Z" component (blue trace) is positive downward
Geomagnetic storminess is usually indicated in oscillatory variations in the earth's magnetic field. Additional detail concerning the nature and severity of the ionospheric disturbance can be found through analysis of the three components of the field. Data from a chain of magnetometers are also available.
