Look west at sunset, and submit your pictures here. The show continues tonight with a nearly-vertical Moon-Jupiter-Venus line in the sky. "The last occultation of Jupiter I saw was a long time ago back in 1998, so I really enjoyed this one!" "The pair was only 12° above the horizon so the turbulence was quite noticeable, but I managed to get a good picture," says Leon. "Here in Santiago, Chile, we were favoured with an incredible show," says Patricio Leon, who caught Jupiter arcseconds away from the lunar limb: Hours after Nikodem photographed the Moon approaching Jupiter, the two bodies "kissed" over South America. Even random people stopped and took pictures." "The young Moon was approaching Venus and Jupiter, forming a bright triangle in the sunset sky. SUNSET SKY SHOW: "Last night, we saw a spectacular scene in the evening sky," reports Marek Nikodem of Szubin, Poland. Any eruptions in the days ahead will be geoeffective as the sunspot lines up with our planet.
WETTER SEATTLE MOVIE
This 48-hour movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows AR3234 quadrupling in size as it comes around the solar limb:ĪR3234 has a beta-gamma magnetic field that harbors energy for strong M-class solar flares. SUNSPOT EVOLUTION : Active sunspot AR3234 is not only turning toward Earth, but also growing. This is about to change, however, as the the sun's rotation turns the sunspot more directly toward our planet. Why not? The source of the explosions, sunspot AR3234, was not facing Earth.
NO CMES ARE HEADING OUR WAY : For the past three days, the sun has emitted a non-stop fusillade of solar flares. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays. Credit: SDO/HMIĬosmic Rays Solar Cycle 25 is intensifying, and this is reflected in the number of cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere. Sunspot AR3234 is crackling with M-class solar flares.
