Bedreamon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I... don't think a CME caused by a C-Level flare could really be considered a "Godzilla CME". I'm starting to kinda lean towards what Tormentius is saying: 48 minutes ago, Tormentius said: And also, calling the cme a Godzilla is just more examples of what I mentioned in my other thread, of solar physicists giving exaggerated statements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to kinda lean towards what Tormentius is saying: That is precisely what I find frustrating as someone who has suffered a fear of space weather effects on Earth and am struggling to overcome it. Generally, I prefer Dr Erika Palmerio for her takes. She is generally very honest, straightforward and reassuring when you ask her what you think the effects will be. Contrast this with Dr McIntosh who, every time you show any signs of worry over a large cme, he practically encourages it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Yes this was an unusual flare. Qualitatively I'd call it medium duration, diffuse, broad, fuzzy, cloudy, and loopy. Stereo A coronograph confirms the CME will have an Earth-directed component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had calculated a preliminary arrival time of /13 14:50Z which is still fairly slow as a travel time of ~67 hours 30 minutes. It looked like a disappearing solar filament (DSF) was the catalyst for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris, HB9DFG Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I saw this LDE earlier but I didn't expect such a nice Halo-CME, even not in our direction! ☺️ Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedreamon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 solen.info, for whoever uses that site, recently updated for info about current solar affairs. As for their take on this CME, it says: Quote March 10: A full halo CME was observed after the very long duration event in AR 12962. The CME could reach Earth on March 13 and cause unsettled to minor storm conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 well, who cares at this point LL? we are most certainly all here now, respectfully 😀 What...? I thought CMEs were something for the Solar Activity side of the site, so I made a new topic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Please keep any effects on "heliobiology" from CMEs in the "Other" forum. This one is for established science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is beyond petty. Every week it seems, "Big CME coming?!?" and it's the same people, with the same incredulous sources. I'll try my best to not post as much Twitter things. Kinda hard since the Twitter list of solar enthusiasts I follow are mostly level-headed and not saying stupid sh*t like "Big CME???", but still. At the same time though, I think it's mostly because those people are new to space weather (I'm still new to it honestly), which is why seeing stuff like this is worrisome because it's new to them/me.

So they get weaker on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my indelicacy, but I think of CME as aurora farts, the big ones likened to the effects of a vindaloo on the human system 😵 vs a mild Korma in a small one. At the epicentre the impact is strong ( so stand well clear of your vindaloo loving colleague) , and as it travels, the more the fart energy is dispersed into a wider area.... thus impacting in lower levels at the outer reaches? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
