James Kaufman, World News Report today.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've had an absolutely huge,
most probably an X-Flare pop off the
backside of our sun, the opposite of Earth-facing,
again on the backside of the sun.
But these sunspots, as I will soon show you,
will be rotating around to be Earth-facing
in just a couple of days.
You can see the explosion here.
We will slow it down.
to get a better look at it, absolutely huge, all right we can first see
the explosion it looks like
right around, probably happened around 8 UTC time
that's going to be about
one o'clock last night
and it makes it around productive disk by 8:30, you can see
how extensive this coronal mass ejection
is, obviously there was a large solar flare
With a very large光
mass ejection,
a halo ejection, definitely
an X-class solar flare.
We can bet our bank accounts on that one.
And these sunspots will be coming
in to be Earth-facing in just a few days.
I'm talking about three or four days maximum.
So we could be having a September to remember, to say the very least.
All right, NOAA is reporting seen on GOES-19 core 1.
They've observed a very strong coronal mass ejection
from the far side of the sun,
and they're talking about the speed of the plasma here.
A CME was detected the morning of the 21st,
like I said, about 1 a.m. Central Time.
It was from the non-Earth-directed side of the sun.
Coronal mass ejection is an eruption of solar materials
and magnetic fields.
This CME is not Earth-directed,
rather it erupted from the far side of the Sun and is headed in the
opposite direction of Earth.
I've seen us get proton storms from the non-Earth-directed
solar flares and associated coronal mass ejections
that were this size before,
so we'll see what happens.
While the Space Weather Prediction Center forecasters do not know,
With certainty where the far side source of this CME was located,
it does seem likely
this could have been associated
from an area approximately three to four days
from rotating into Earth's view
and I will show y'all where this occurred.
No effects are anticipated from this coronal mass ejection,
however, the Space Weather
Prediction Center forecasters will continue
to look for any early evidence of an active
region rotating into Earth's view along
the eastern solar limb in the days ahead.
During the early morning hours of the 21st of August,
a fairly fast coronal mass ejection
erupted from the far side of the sun,
Initial measurements of the estimated speed suggest it could
be traveling at over 3 million miles an hour.
If this CME had been earth-directed,
this means the CME would have arrived in close to 24 hours.
So we're talking about a very large coronal mass ejection.
The Carrington event arrived 18 hours after the blast.
This goes 19.
CORONA1 imagery shows very clearly the movement
and progression of this CME.
The suspected source for this coronal mass ejection could
be rotating into Earth's view
in the next three to four days.
Our Space Weather Prediction Center forecasters will
be diligently searching for any evidence
of such a feature.
Stay informed by visiting our website.
We're going to take a look at the backside of the sun right now.
All right these are our sunspot groups here and it's going to be 016.
It was concentrated to the
north here but we saw one sunspot group 016
and ladies and gentlemen we have four other
sunspot groups coming around the limb as well.
Now full rotation of our sun,
is about 28 days and these composites as you can see
are from the 19th takes about two days to put
them together so this has moved quite a bit towards the incoming limb
and these two probably
will be named by morning whereas 016 should
be coming around the limb sooner than
now believe, remember this is about two days old,
it looks like the first part of
that large sunspot group, which is going to be 016,
should be coming around the limb
probably within 48 hours.
I will let you all know as it comes around the limb,
and it looks like 015 has already
been named, it is sunspot AR4191.
I will show you all 015.
It was the other purple sunspot on the back side to kind of give you an
idea of how fast this is moving
and when we should be seeing some problems. Here is 015
a day and a half ago and it has been named as we've just seen.
It doesn't look like 012
has been named yet
although I would expect that it should have been named.
Heading quickly over to Soho, 284 angstroms,
so we can get a good look at what's going on.
You can see that 4191 has been named, and it's been very active.
Definitely not the culprit for today's most probable
X-class solar flare and associated coronal mass ejection.
We also have a coronal hole here in the northern hemisphere of our sun.
You can also see that 012 that was in Hunter Green has
not come around the limb far enough to have been named.
I do see this strange large filament that looks like it
stretches across the whole southern part above our star.
I really want to get a look at this in a different lens.
So if you're with me, hang on and let's see if this is some kind of
camera relic which it doesn't appear
to be or this is the real deal that is some filament
right this is 171 you can definitely see this here
and it looks like it extends out on both sides
and it does look like it's a filament i pray
that it's not it would be the longest
largest filament i've ever seen it could
be a very thin coronal hole that has two
Solar tornadoes on either end.
Now I'm just dreaming.
And getting one more look at this, the 195 angstroms on Soho.
You can see that it actually protrudes here.
It looks like it runs through the whole southern hemisphere
and protrudes here at the end as well.
Now, it's on all of the different magnifications or lenses.
So I would assume that it's the real deal here.
I hope that it's some sort of coronal hole
that's lined up in a thin line, but it looks
like a very long, large filament to me.
Let me know what y'all think in the comments below.
God bless.
Let's hope it doesn't pop off, because, well, we might get burnt.
