Filament Liftoff

[MinYoongi]

Hello! 🙂

the filament i personally waited on to lift off the sun finally did! And it did so while being absolutely in the center 😊🤏 

my Question is, looking at Lasco C3 right now, i see a bulk going right. This is not earth directed and not the filament lift off, right? Sadly at the moment there are often Lasco and even Stereo Gaps and I was busy with work the last couple days so i kinda missed the footage

anyways, i wish all aurora photographers good luck against the full moon!

The CME on the right in coronagraph imagery is related to an area over the northwest limb.

 

I'm not sure if this is the same area you are looking at, but a CME did launch from sunspot region 2859. Knowing if it is Earth directed and significance(If it somehow can be from a B-Class flare) is to be determined.

C flares and filament liftoff to the left (East) while *almost* concurrent coronograph CME launch to the right (West).  This might make sense If we're looking at the Sun as the inside of a bowl.  Otherwise difficult to explain these differences in directions viewing the sun as a sphere.  Unless these are from different events.  Edit -  I think they are - the CME launch preceded the C flares and filament lift off.

This, right here would be a dream!

Hey, what do you mean by it preceeded the C-class Flares and Filament? Sorry:D

The CME ~ 12:00Z today looks cool in solar imagery, but it is a snail in coronagraph imagery.

Oh, i didnt even notice the CME. Are we speaking of the C1 Flare CME? Ive been too busy! 😂 so, anything earth directed? 

[Jesterface23]

I just noticed that one near the time of posting. Maybe it will reach Earth in a month or two. Easy to say keeping track of CMEs is bound to get more and more confusing.

The west limb CME seen at 2021-08-24 06:00 UT in AIA 193, AIA 171, and LASCO preceded (occurred before) the C-class flares from AR2859 and the associated filament/plasma eruption seen at 2021-08-24 12:00 UT in AIA 304 .

I usually don't post Youtube video links - but this one shows well the SDO and LASCO imagery with timestamps for these two distinct events:

From today's SWPC Forecast Discussion:

"The ejecta associated with the B8.8 x-ray enhancement observed at 24/1216 UTC...was determined to be heading well east of the Sun-Earth line."

Maybe next time 🤷‍♂️

But im not talking about a cme assosiacted with a flare.

Im talking about a specific filament Eruption:D

Hi MinYoongi

I saw a reference to a South Polar Eruption on the 22nd Aug.  It originated from a filament at latitude 71º S and by the look of the pic on Spaceweather.com, longitudinally it was almost at the centre of the Sun.

It was published on their site on 23rd Aug. Since it has been reported (26th Aug page) that there is chance for a faint CME impact.

Ah understood.  From the first post "looking at Lasco C3 right now, i see a bulk going right. This is not earth directed and not the filament lift off, right?" that is correct.

Tamitha discusses at least 4 eruptions.  There is 1 from the northern hemisphere she discusses at 33:00 of her video, which the same as the one noted in the latest facebook post from this site, and the "filament lift off" referred to in the first post.  From difference LASCO imagery it produced a faint halo.  From Stereo A COR2 it looked stronger.  There is some disagreement in the prediction models is the whether it's Earth-directed.  Its effect, if any, would arrive at Earth by midday the 27th.
