whats with the solar protons

[farm24]

the solar protons increased alot at 6:00 UTC (see pic)

it also coincided with the type 2 halo CME (see other pic)

that had to have been a powerful CME to increase the solar protons by that much from over the limb

It looked like a powerful one, and fast

Yes, only strong long duration eruptive events are capable of that.
too bad it wasn’t on the frontside… it would have become the strongest proton event of SC25 😜

possibly even the strongest flare of SC25 (so far)

Doubt it, that would probably be the super strong far side CME from behind the NE limb some time ago

But it’s farside so we’ll never know 😇

L3 spacecraft when??? 😇

Maybe they can just use the thrusters on SoLo (if it has any) to kick it into L3 lol

Let’s keep SOHO where it is, old and outdated 😉 it also won’t have the fuel to do such manoeuvre (at launch SOHO had 251kg fuel). SOHO does have thrusters to keep it in position, it doesn’t use its three gyroscopes anymore due to a malfunction in 1998 where we nearly lost the satellite (after the incident and regaining control it had 205kg of fuel left, about 4kg was needed to regain control). Shortly after a second anomaly occurred (end of 1998) that was again corrected by its thrusters (52 kilo of fuel was burned to achieve the expected result) early 1999. Where +20 years later so I guess fuel is getting low😉

Hang in there SOHO! It’s been a superstar trooper. I hope we get a fitting replacement up there soon.

SDO was the replacement but they “forgot” to add a coronagraph 😉

atleast GOES-U will have one

A good one like SOHO, or a horrible one like STEREO?

Unfortunately not.  I think we need a whole lot more solar observation platforms up there.  After all, the sun is the most interesting and exciting thing going on in the solar system.  So about a month ago I did a deep dive to see what future spacecraft were coming that I can look forward to.  The answer?  Nil, nix, nada, zilch.  Not only are there no interesting spacecraft being built and scheduled for launch in the future, I couldn't even find proposals.  So it will be years before we have any better instruments than what we have now.   😡

If anyone knows otherwise, I'd like to hear about it.

[Vancanneyt Sander]

Not totally true, every few years there’s a new GOES satellite with some solar instruments on board (SUVI, x-ray) and one of the next-gen GOES satellites will have a new coronagraph which will become the replacement for the LASCO instrument (planned for 2024 and currently Lockheed Martin is installing it onboard GOES-U).

James Webb telescope will be providing some interesting sights here soon. Hopefully it inspires some people to get something built.

But do we poor dirtsiders in Europe getting direct access to GOES data? No we don't! All we get is GOES data via internet from NASA/NOAA. I wish the Europeans would get onboard to publish downlink protocol and frequencies for their weather satellites and more importantly also add solar observation instruments to the next satellites going up.

big-ish sunspot on the farside of the sun shown on GONG's website. Sdo didnt update their farside data in a while so im using this

The SDO website ones are broken use this http://jsoc.stanford.edu/data/farside/

the GONG images are unreliable

Yes, there are a lot of things going on in space exploration and probes, but I was talking about solar observation, as I stated at the start of my reply. What's going on with the Webb is fantastic, almost unbelievable, but the Webb will certainly never observe the sun.

It's good that GOES sats have solar observation instruments, but I was referring to specific solar probes. I find it astonishing that we still don't have continuous high-res observation of the far side of the sun yet.

Well perhaps we can see the high-res surfaces of other stars.

Astonished you say?
