gunny23 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I'm a bit obsessed seeing all these pics since May so booked a 6 night trip to Tromso Norway over Christmas. I figured this is the year. Family would prefer skiing in the alps or beach somewhere lol. Being the only who wants to plan a vacation has its perks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Perhaps a substorm coming soon… edit: I lied, but another flare occurred last night that looks interesting. Need to watch for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Another X-class flare. But this one looks (at least preliminarily) to be more impulsive. Probably a lower chance of a CME with this one. But who knows. The existing CME from yesterday is still coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolsheds Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Just now, toolsheds said: Dumb question here...how long does the CME take to get from the Sun to Earth? Got my answer --> The fastest Earth-directed CMEs can reach our planet in as little as 15-18 hours. Slower CMEs can take several days to arrive. They expand in size as they propagate away from the Sun and larger CMEs can reach a size comprising nearly a quarter of the space between Earth and the Sun by the time it reaches our planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that by Friday night the storm will have subsided unless more activity erupts. Space weather is so fickle, though. Let's hope the storm onset and peak holds off until we are well after dark tomorrow evening. Would suck to waste daylight hours on Kp7-9 values.

Keeping an eye on imagery to see if there's any faint halo CME with the most recent impulsive flare. That sunspot bears continued watching! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Another M7.7 flare it looks like. Again it looks rather impulsive rather than drawn out. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But gonna try tonight! Believe me, I get it. Mrs V and I...it's a GREAT night if we can stay awake until 10:30 to finish MAYBE a couple streaming sitcoms OR a SINGLE drama episode. We're pathetic. But...I'm gonna set up my tripod in my severely light-polluted cul de sac later tonight and give it the old college try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
