look on utube. suspicious0bservers has a lot of links and he uses videos all the time. he covers solar events. there are a lot of solar vids on utube. some crackpots and some science and a whole lot of speculation.

I like that. The video updates to the current day too. Great sun pictures also. Added it to my daily news list.

I've become more and more interested in Solar storms and cycles. The new sats and observatories are shedding a lot of new light on our and how the planets interact with it. I'm looking for a video that I can turn into a high def Jpeg or ani. I'd like it to be a full view of the sun with flares. The intent would be to use it as a back ground of a new web page.
With all the new scripts popping up, I may even be able to use the video itself.

not really off topic as it involves magnetic field. maybe, just maybe, 'global warming' is due to the earth's changing mag field and not our fault after all. hmmmmm.

Scientists probe link between magnetic polarity reversal and mantle processes

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered that variations in the long-term reversal rate of the Earth's magnetic field may be caused by changes in heat flow from the Earth's core into the base of the overlying mantle.

The Earth is made up of a solid inner core, surrounded by a liquid outer core, in turn covered by a thicker or more viscous mantle, and ultimately by the solid crust beneath our feet.

The magnetic field is generated by the motions of the liquid iron alloy in the outer core, approximately 3,000 km beneath the Earth's crust. These motions occur because the core is losing heat to the overlying solid mantle that extends up to the crust on which we live.

The mantle itself is also in motion but at much slower speeds of millimetres per year as opposed to millimetres per second in the core. This mantle motion is responsible for the drifting of the continents at the surface as well as earthquakes, volcanoes, and changes in the climate over millions of years.

At intervals of hundreds of thousands of years, the North and South magnetic poles reverse and scientists can tell from rock formations precisely at what periods in the past this took place. The most recent reversal happened 780,000 years ago.

Magnetic field variations happen on timescales of months to millions of years. Much of the magnetic field's variation is thought to be sporadic but new research, led by Liverpool scientists, has found that over long timescales, this variability may be related to the changing pattern of heat loss across the core-mantle boundary occurring over millions of years.

The team performed a detailed synthesis based on latest findings from a number of different areas including the ancient geomagnetic field and its record in rocks, motions in the mantle caused by motions of the continents and the process responsible for generating the magnetic field in the core.

Dr Andrew Biggin, from the University's School of Environmental Sciences, said: "The magnetic field has undergone big changes in its behaviour that might be due to the mantle's controlling influence on the core.

In particular, we focused on the time interval between around 200 and 80 million years ago - when dinosaurs were still around - when the magnetic field initially started reversing its polarity very frequently. During this period the polarity was reversing up to 10 times every million years; however 50 million years later, it stopped reversing altogether for nearly 40 million years.

"When these changes in the magnetic field were taking place, the whole of the Earth's crust and mantle, including all of the continents, were undergoing a big rotation with respect to the geographic and time-averaged geomagnetic poles - the points defining the Earth's axis of rotation.

"We suspect that this process, called True Polar Wander and caused by the changing density distribution in the mantle, will have changed the pattern of heat flowing out of the core in such a manner as to cause the magnetic field to first become less stable, with lots of reversals, and then become much more stable - and stop reversing."

The team believes this may not be the only explanation and conjecture that this big drop in the frequency of reversals may also be related to a similar decrease in the number of 'large igneous provinces' (LIPs) or concentrated outpourings of magma from the Earth's core, 50 million years later.

The last LIP happened around 16 million years ago and produced the Columbia Plateau in the North West US. LIPs are thought to be produced by hot plumes of material rising from thermal instabilities near the bottom boundary of the mantle.

The team believes the 50 million year time lag between the magnetic field changing and the occurrence of the LIPs could represent the time it takes for the plumes to travel 2,890 km through the mantle.

If this link were correct it would mean that the rather unstable magnetic field observed in the last 50 million years predicts that a considerable number of LIPs will erupt over the next 50 million years. This in turn could have major implications for the surface conditions - for climate and for life itself.

The research, published in Nature Geoscience, is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, GFZ Potsdam, IPGP Paris, the University of Oslo and Utrecht University. Future research at Liverpool, is planned and already underway to develop a new tool for understanding the Earth's system.

m2 solar flare this morning

Earth-effects could become stronger as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of additional M-class flares and a 5% chance of an X-flare during the next 24 hours. Solar flare alerts: text, phone.

x2 flare tonight at 22:20ut.

x7 flare overnight. no details. i think it was the spot that is almost out of sight so hopefully not earth-directed.

Russian solar probe to predict Earthly cataclysms

http://rt.com/news/space-probe-sun-scientists/


Some scientists believe bursts of solar activity cause natural disasters on our planet, but until now the star has been too difficult to reach or explore in any detail. Some Russian researchers think they have the solution.

­Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis – apocalyptic pictures are becoming an ordinary part of news bulletins across the globe. And scientists are not giving out reassuring forecasts.

“Unfortunately, we're expecting more severe cataclysms which may lead to large-scale human losses and destruction,” says Baku-based Professor Elchin Kakhalilov of the Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes. “I'm talking about even a possible shift of the centers of our entire civilization.”

The change in the Earth's seismic activity coincides with the rise of activity on the sun. Scientists have been witnessing gigantic bursts of plasma on its surface and say they are affecting our planet, even though it is over 90 million miles away.

Each burst sends billions of particles into space which impacts the Earth's magnetic field. This may trigger some of the processes going on deep bellow its surface, leading to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Scientists predict solar activity will increase and say in the next few years, large-scale disruptions of electronic equipment, radio transmissions, computer failures and massive black-outs could become parts of everyday life.

The sun is currently monitored either by stations on Earth or in orbit. But sending a probe four times closer to the star would be far more helpful. And it may not be science fiction much longer, thanks to a project currently being developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

“This is going to be like a thermometer which would fly close to the Sun, measure its temperature, density and magnetic fields,” Dr. Sergey Bogachaev, an Interheliozond engineer from Moscow. “We're making it from scratch: no one has ever done this before.”

The project of Interheliozond, as it is called, is intended to study the sun from close range, says RAS Space Research Institute Director Lev Zeleny according to Interfax. The space probe will provide new data about the sun. Scientists are currently carrying out preliminary design and trajectory studies of the future spacecraft. The project has been included into Russia’s Federal Space Program.

The Interheliozond is set to be launched by 2015. Of course it will not be able to control the star's activities, but it could at least give a heads up to humanity before disaster strikes.

All 50 States See Record Highs in July
No state in the union was safe from July's blistering heat wave, according to data from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center.

The horrible July heat wave, lasting weeks in some cities, the entire month in others, affected nearly 200 million people in the United States at some point. Preliminary data show that 2,712 high-temperature records were either tied or broken in July, compared with 1,444 last year, according to the NCDC. At least one weather station in all 50 states set or tied a daily high temperature record at some point during July.

Two weather stations tied for the hottest temperature recorded during July. The Blythe station in Riverside County, Calif., and the Gila Bend station in Maricopa County, Ariz., both hit 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48.9 degrees Celsius) in July.

Even Alaska recorded unusually sweaty temperatures. The temperature at the Northway weather station in Southeast Fairbanks County hit a record 97 F (36.1 C) on July 11.

Newark, N.J., set an all-time high at 108 F (42.2 C) on July 22, breaking the record of 105 F (40.6 C), set in 2001.

In Washington, D.C., Dulles International Airport saw its hottest July on record this year and recorded its highest July temperature of all time at 105 F (40.6 C), on July 22. That same day, water in the nearby Potomac River was the hottest ever recorded at 96 F (35.4 C) (records go back to only 1988), reported the Capital Weather Gang blog.

The city of Morehead, Minn., had the dubious distinction as the hottest place on Earth for a day, said meteorologist Heidi Cullen of Climate Central, in an interview on National Public Radio. On July 19, the heat index there — a measure of humidity and temperature that indicates how hot the weather feels — was 134 F (56.7 C). (The National Weather Service later said this reading could be an anomaly due to the local weather station's location in a very wet field, and not representative of the entire town.)

Earth Must Be Ready for Next Big Solar Storm
By SPACE.com Staff
Space.com | SPACE.com – 51 mins ago...

In September 1859, the sun unleashed one of the most powerful storms in recorded history. The solar eruption induced electrical currents that set telegraph offices on fire and sparked dramatic displays of northern lights over Cuba and Hawaii.

Scientists and officials from a range of organizations gathered in Washington, D.C., yesterday (June 21) to ask a simple but frightening question: What if it happens again?

"A similar storm today might knock us for a loop," Lika Guhathakurta, a solar physicist at NASA headquarters, said. "Modern society depends on high-tech systems such as smart power grids, GPS and satellite communications — all of which are vulnerable to solar storms." [Infographic: Anatomy of Sun Storms and Solar Flares]

More technology, more vulnerabilities

Guhathakurta was one of more than a hundred attendees of the fifth annual Space Weather Enterprise Forum. SWEF aims to raise awareness of space weather and its effects on society, especially among policymakers and emergency responders. Yesterday's meeting drew representatives of the United Nations, Congress, NASA, power companies and more.

When the 1859 storm erupted, the sun was immersed in a below-average solar cycle (solar activity waxes and wanes over periods of roughly 11 years). That event served as a reminder that strong storms can occur even when the cycle is weak — as seems to be the case again in 2011, during our current Cycle 24. [Video: Huge Solar Eruption of June 7, 2011]

While the 1859 storm halted telegraph messages and puzzled a lot of skywatchers in the tropics, an eruption of that magnitude today would be much more serious, researchers said.

Worldwide blackouts could last for months as engineers struggled to repair damaged transformers, for example. Planes and ships couldn’t trust GPS units for navigation, and banking networks might go offline, seriously disrupting global commerce.

According to a 2008 report from the National Academy of Sciences, a massive solar storm could have the economic impact of 20 Hurricane Katrinas. That hurricane caused an estimated $80 billion of damage.

Preparing for the storm


Preparing for the storm

So what can scientists, and society, do to stave off such consequences? For starters, the researchers say, we could try to forecast and track solar storms more accurately, to give the planet more time to prepare.

And such efforts are well under way.

"We can now track the progress of solar storms in three dimensions as the storms bear down on Earth," said SWEF speaker Michael Hesse, chief of the Space Weather Lab at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "This sets the stage for actionable space weather alerts that could preserve power grids and other high-tech assets during extreme periods of solar activity."

Hesse and his colleagues feed data into supercomputers from a fleet of NASA spacecraft around the sun, including the twin Stereo probes and the Mercury-studying Messenger. Within hours of a major eruption, the computers will spit out a 3-D movie that predicts where the storm will go, which planets and spacecraft it will hit and when the impacts will occur.

"This is a really exciting time to work as a space weather forecaster," said Antti Pulkkinen, a researcher at the Space Weather Lab. "The emergence of serious physics-based space weather models is putting us in a position to predict if something major will happen."

Some of the computer models are so sophisticated, they can predict electrical currents flowing in Earth's soil when a solar storm strikes. These currents are what do the most damage to power transformers, so having good models could help officials stop a blackout cascade, researchers said.

"Disconnecting a specific transformer for a few hours could forestall weeks of regional blackouts," Pulkkinen said. [Amazing New Sun Photos from Space]

Protecting astronauts

While Earth can get hammered by the fast-moving particles and radiation unleashed by a solar eruption, the planet's atmosphere shields us on the ground to a degree. But astronauts in space are on the front lines.

"Astronauts are routinely exposed to four times as much radiation as industrial radiation workers on Earth," said SWEF speaker John Allen, of NASA's Space Operations Mission Directorate. "It's a serious occupational hazard."

NASA keeps careful track of each astronaut's accumulated dosage throughout his or her career. Accurate space weather alerts could help keep these exposures under control — for example, by postponing spacewalks when solar flares are likely.

And not all forecasts have to raise alarm bells. Some could help NASA mission planners determine the best times for astronauts to go out on an hours-long spacewalk.

"We could use 'All clear' alerts," Allen said. "In addition to knowing when it's dangerous to go outside, we'd also like to know when it's safe. This is another frontier for forecasters — not only telling us when a sunspot will erupt, but also when it won't."

All we can do now is buy dry Rice, Gold and dry pasta keeping our fingers and toes crossed! I understand that the worst case scenario is, We may get a total meltdown of our global electric infrastructure.....

bigger flares and the magnetic storms are lasting for several days. the last one went on for several days and got bigger with time. not sure why. even the monitors were surprised by that.

have you read up on the x flares in the past? scary stuff. we really have no idea what they will do. might be okay, might be devastating.

OK so the flares are getting bigger right on Que is basically the main theme here. Even though we don't have to worry about this one like the last one with the Aura alerts as far down South as Florida... We still need to be alert because the Sun is becoming incredibly active and the Big one is going to hit, it is not a matter of if but when.

yes. but when it rotates around to our side ~ 14 days ~ it may cause problems. this was bigger than the ones we have had lately.

This will have minimal effect on Earth I presume?

an amazing prediction of the new zealand earthquake and whale stranding in australia made a week ago.

http://www.predictweather.com/ArticleShow.aspx?ID=334&type=home

more earthquakes than that.

check this list out. we have been having a LOT of earthquakes since the first of the year.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php

we had a very small polar shift, axis of rotation, not magnetic pole, when the big earthquake in chile went off. i read up on polar shift and we are probably haveing one right now. wiki says they have happened in the past and generally happen slowly over a period of years. earthquakes are both a cause and a symptom of these shifts. then there was that blurb on the msm about the new zodiac sign. so the star patterns have apparently changed. there is no real government info on this, not from nasa, noaa, usgs or others. usgs did have a survey on the effects of continental drift on the gps mapping system, but details were confined to the san andreas fault movements. i spent a lot of time looking for scientific articles on the subject, but i have not come up with much.

so if your gps is off by a few feet, there may be a reason for it. i keep looking at the sun and the shadows on the walls, trying to see for myself that there have been noticeable changes, but i can't be sure. who keeps track of that sort of thing. i know the people in iceland said the sun rose 2 days early this year, but i can't say i see it for myself. ( lots of nutcases out there who are screaming about shift without evidence.) i don't think it will be a rapid change but who knows. maybe the polar ice will melt fast and the weight shift will cause things to speed up. hope not.

4 Earthquakes today and 1 Volcanic explosion things are getting intense!

faraday cages.

http://www.endtimesreport.com/faraday_cages.html

if you google how to build a faraday cage, there is a lot of info. i like some of this, some is just too outrageous. one of the simplest is a metal shed. i have heard of using those insulated grocery bags as they are lined with aluminum foil, garbage cans, etc. apparently any metal although copper/brass screen is recommended.

they also need to be grounded at a distance. small emp's and mag fields can be stopped using simple getups. but for a truly severe extended flare followed by a mag storm, a full cage which includes the floor is essential.

can you imagine it? i have tried. no cars, the electronics are all dead. no power through utilities, no phones, internet, tv, radio,... how would it all be replaced or fixed? and it would be worldwide. who would make the new parts? where in the h would you start?

cars are an interesting side topic. if your car has enough steel in it, it is already a faraday cage. but reports are that the electonics would all go dead anyway. apparently if they aren't toasted in the initial storm, they would fry when you start the engine if you don't wait until the storm subsides. how are you supposed to know that the storm has subsided enough.

better have a bicycle. and lots of hand tools too.

I was getting worried about the computers at work myself.... Look at what this does to the stock market and the ongoing riots, and earthquakes etc... you can't say there is no connection! We are at the mercy of the Sun and it's oscillating energy waves.

lol. amazing action this week. did you watch the new video of the flare on spaceweather.com?

should hit here tonight and tomorrow. i wrapped one laptop in tinfoil. cheap faraday cage. not sure if it would work or not, but i tried.

how about today?

THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT
Update
December 17, 2010




DEBUNKING MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE — VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH WAL THORNHILL

In the nearly eight years since the website Thunderbolts.info has gone online, perhaps the most common request we've received from readers is that we address the innumerable misrepresentations of the Electric Universe hypothesis on the Internet.

This is the first installment in an interview series with members of the Thunderbolts Project.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/online_videos.htm

It absoutly is possible, and I guide my investment theory on the basis of Solar Cycles and Energy fields, I believe everything you can see or feel has an effect on everything else, and once we explore those connections, we have a better understanding of ourself, the universe and of course the market and economy.

I did come over to this board. I see that is a link to my post, which they did not believe was related to the economy. My thought was that somehow the electric universe could be tapped into for unlimited power. Human beings naturally have ESD. It makes sense it might be possible.

thanks for sharing that! Great post!

this was posted on another board and i requested that it be posted here, but they did not; so i am putting the link to the original post here.

The Cardinal Climax Culminates


The event that happens once every 10,000 years or so (like who is counting?) is about to hit the "sweet spot" and it's not very sweet! Roughly, the July 24 to August 16 window is when the door should shut on Wall Street if Arche Crawford, Gerald Celente, and other financial prognosticators are right.
