Vancanneyt Sander Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 we added a quick fix (alternative server) for the SDO AIA 131 image 😉 Peaked at X2,87, strongest of this cycle! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Looking through my H alpha scope the flare is bright but fairly compact. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the site, go to Archive -> Top 50 solar flares; on the app open the menu navigate to "Facts" then tap Top 50 solar flares. On this day in 2006 we had an X1,6 so this day in history will be marked by this X-class event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpgoggin Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) So, what is the object falling to the sun prior to the flaring activity, on the Lasco 2 and 3 videos? Looks cool and the timing with the flares is interesting Edited December 14, 2023 by Mpgoggin Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything of the sort on either C2 or C3. What you posted an image of is a comet from a few days ago, not related to this at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 3 minuten geleden, Aten zei: The flare covered a relatively small area. looking at the running difference there doesn't seem to be a lot of coronal dimming, the event was also somewhat shorter in duration after the peak but does seem to have a longer slowdown now. Nevertheless we'll await LASCO imagery to see if there is anything to see. A proton event might occur due to the location of the event. 3 minuten geleden, Mpgoggin zei: So, what is the object falling to the sun prior to the flaring activity, on the Lasco 2 and 3 videos? it's likely a charged particle hitting the sensor and nothing is actually 'falling' to the Sun 5 minuten geleden, MinYoongi zei: ah, thank you. and cool that you can observe it with your telescope! It's a special kind of telescope, a H-alpha telescope is a telescope with a special filter that blocks 99,99% of all visible light and reveals theh-alpha line where you can see prominences and solar flares on the Sun. it's really amazing but pricy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is dimming and a wave going across the corona but does that mean anything? do you think there will be earth directedness or is the region too far west? Thanks 2- i once used one like this in a planetorium, very cool. have you used one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak time was a bit short, for an S3 it would be stronger and more eruptive than it now seems. 1 minuut geleden, Becky WeimHandler zei: I saw this too . I’m very curious to what it was. ( so curious I joined this forum so I could learn what it was lol That's a comet 😉 also called Sungrazers and most of the times they don't survive because of the heat of the Sun. Update: Coronal dimming reached stronger levels, the second part of the flare was more of a long duration and it does seem there is a bigger outflow of coronal mass. Most of the ejecta seems to be southward. LASCO imagery will tell more of the CME propagation 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
