Speaking of undetected CMEs, is there a place that back dates imagery from SOHO LASCO coronagraphs may be found?  SWL archive does not seem to have it, sadly.

Yep! I've been using this for a while now and I'll be glad to provide the link.

That's super helpful, thanks a lot! @Sander Vancanneyt, is there any way LASCO imagery could be made accessible in the SWL archive? Or at the very least, this link added to the "links" page of the menu?

This is decent for easy access,

Most of the time it happens at night. I have seen a M2.02 solar flare but missed the M5 flare a few weeks ago which happened at night. Just my luck 😂 

a class m 1.44 solar flare from sunspot 2939 before going to the other side of the sun...

I'd say that is covered here https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/links.html if people go to the official SOHO site they will easily find it.

Adding LASCO to the archive isn't feasible it is so much data. The official LASCO sites have all the data one could wish, no need for us to host the same stuff all over.

He said “prepare”, he thinks it might indicate something major is coming, although I don’t know why that would be the casw

Was this recent m flare what he is referring to as "prepare"?

What is it called when you want something really bad and the universe just makes it happen? Is there a particular superstition for creating x flare? Any chance we can see one this weekend?

For once im up…. sky is clear in my home town and the MOON is nearly full. 😩😩😩😩

IT DID IT AGAIN! I WAS SLEEPING AND AN M CLASS HAPPENED. 

Well that is just sad..

Do you think this could have been a cannibal CME?  It displays that stair-step look.  The first CME increase in speed was quite slight, but it stepped up twice more to a pretty high speed.
Unless, of course, that's a CH HSS that wasn't predicted to hit us, but did.

If this activity & your sleep pattern are interrelated, then can I request that you sleep more often? 😁

This is from yesterday but I don't think it's affected us yet, so idk.

I beleive this region was the culprit. Keep in mind the prior CME was really slow, so maybe there could have been a bit of a pileup behind the CME?

Here is the solar wind and mag data that is a bit easier to look at, including the temps. The times in the graph are local time, -6. For DSCOVR the SIR/CIR(whichever category it falls into) enters at /11 ~09:26Z. The CH HSS transition begins at /11 ~17:47Z and is complete at /11 ~22:10Z.

Hey guys, in regards to the three eruptions from earlier, I've noticed that lasco completely skips from around 8:00 to 14:35 so we can't see what happened at that time. Any thoughts on this?

It's hard to keep track of what exactly is being discussed in this thread... but regarding these eruptions from 2022-02-11 12:00 visible on SDO, looking at STEREO A COR 2, there was no significant ejecta seen that was Earth-directed in the hours after these eruptions - which is kind of surprising since they looked pretty big.  Maybe they were implosions not explosions, or surface shockwaves or tsunamis.
