Uitbarstingen van de zon en aurora borealis
Prachtige foto's van aurora borealis boven Noorwegen
On Dec. 18th in Kvaløya, Norway, the sky exploded in a spray of color. Aurora tour guide Marianne Bergli caught the outburst:
"Everyone was completely speechless," says Bergli. "Then they screamed: Look , WOW, Amazing! It was pink and green and white, is it like that every day?"
Indeed, these colors are somewhat unusual. Most auroras are green--a verdant glow caused by energetic particles from space hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Seldom-seen pink appears when the energetic particles descend lower than usual, striking nitrogen molecules at the 100 km level and below. The ambient solar wind stream seems to be more penetrating than usual, creating an extra-colorful display for Arctic sky watchers.

Today, Earth is inside a stream of solar wind blowing faster than 500 km/s (1.1 million mph). As a result, auroras are ringing the Arctic Circle. Rayann Elzein photographed the display at 4 o'clock this morning Finland time:
After a week of bad weather, I was very excited to see clear skies in the Finnish Lapland, coinciding with the arrival of the solar wind," says Elzein. "For a while, the auroras were strong and fast."
The solar wind is flowing from a northern hole in the sun's atmosphere in a fan-shaped spray wide enough to influence Earth for another day, at least. Arctic sky watchers should remain alert for auroras on Jan. 9-10 as geomagnetic unrest continues.

Prachtige aurora's op video vastgelegd
AURORAS IN MOTION:Last night, deep inside the Arctic Circle, photographer Oliver Wright stood outside in the cold waiting for the solar wind to arrive. It didn't. Nevertheless, the sky erupted in a swirling cauldron of color--"possibly the best I've ever seen," says Wright, who has been leading aurora tours for years in Abisko, Sweden. Turn up the volume and listen to the cries of delight in Wright's 3 minute video
"My fingers got so cold taking this video," he says, "but it was worth it."
Watch the video again and pay special attention to the moments after 1:30. Those dynamic swirls of pink are caused by energetic particles reaching unusually deep into Earth's atmosphere, interacting with nitrogen molecules to produce a pink glow so intense that it sometimes appeared white.
This outburst was caused by a crack forming in Earth's magnetic field. Ambient solar wind (not the high-speed stream Wright expected) poured in to fuel the display. Magnetic cracks occur more frequently than usual during weeks around equinoxes, which make this a great time of year for auroras.

Prachtige aurora's na G2 klasse zonnestorm
On March 18th, a crack opened in Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind poured in, fueling a moderately strong (G2-class) geomagnetic storm. Ruslan Merzlyakov sends this picture from Mårup (Hjørring), Denmark:

"The unexpected storm of Northern Lights was visible with the naked eye," says Merzlyakov. "For the first time in months, Lady Aurora visited Denmark!"
NOAA forecasters had said there was a slight chance of minor G1-class storms on March 18th. The actual storm was much more intense, spreading auroras to lower latitudes than expected. In Europe the display spilled all the way down to Germany. Chalk it up to the vernal equinox and the Russell-McPherron effect.

Halloween aurora's, gevolgd door een G1 klasse op 3-4 november.
Op zowel 31 oktober, als op 3-4 november is er een G1 klasse zonnestorm, afkomstig uit 2 coronale gaten die aardegericht zijn (zie foto hieronder).

Op 9 of 10 november 55% kans op een G1 klasse zonnestorm.
Deze is dan afkomstig van een coronaal gat dat aardegericht is, zie hieronder:
https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Hieronder zie je hoe de zonnewinden/ cme's gaan. Het gele bolletje is de aarde.
We houden het in de gaten en komen met een update als er weer mooie foto's op het net verschijnen.....
Op 1 december mogelijk weer een G1 klasse zonnestorm.
De zonnestorm die verwacht wordt, is afkomstig van een coronaal gat dat nu al sinds juli van dit jaar actief is - en waar wij dus 1x per maand mee te maken krijgen - . De laatste keer was op 4 november.

G1 klasse zonnestorm én een C5 klasse zonnevlam.
Afgelopen zaterdag heeft de zon een heuse C5 klasse zonnevlam geproduceerd. Dit was de sterkste vlam sinds 7 februari 2018. Hij was afkomstig uit AR2733 (zonnecyclus 24). De zonnevlek is nu weer rustig geworden en draait nu van de aarde weg.

31 januari - 1 februari krijgen we te maken met een G1 klasse zonnestorm. Deze is afkomstig van het coronale gat dat nu aardegericht is.

Het is hetzelfde coronale gat, waarover we eind december ook al een bericht hebben gepost. Dit coronale gat is al actief sinds de zomer van 2018.

Er was geen geomagnetische storm voorspeld, maar we kregen een prachtige show.
Dit kwam door een kleine scheur in het magnetische veld van de aarde. De meeste aurora's waren groen. Dit komt omdat zonnedeelttjes in botsing komen met zuurstofatomen. Deze komen voor op een hoogte van 100 - 300 km boven het aardoppervlak. Maar er waren zelfs rose aurora's te zien. Deze ontstaan als de zonnedeeltjes in botsing komen met stikstofmoleculen die zich onder de 100 km boven het aardoppervlak bevinden. En vooral die laatse geven echt prachtige beelden.

We zitten in een G1 klasse zonnestorm.
De zonnestorm werd veroorzaakt door een coronaal gat dat al maanden actief is.

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS, TODAY:
Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are underway on Mar. 1st as a fast-moving stream of solar wind buffets Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a wide hole in the sun's atmosphere--so wide that Earth could remain inside the stream for another 24 to 48 hours.
First contact with the stream on Feb. 28th caused an explosion of light over Rovaniemi, Finland:

"These auroras were quite bright for over a half an hour, and the climax lasted for nearly 10 minutes, flaming literally all over the sky," reports photographer Jani Ylinampa. "Definitely one of the best shows of the season."
Geomagnetic storms cause our planet's magnetic field to shake and vibrate. Stuart Green is recording the action using a magnetometer in Preston, Lancashire, UK:
The squiggles in his chart represent changes in the local magnetic field caused by the buffeting of solar wind high overhead.
"These background rumblings are easily detectable on magnetometers around the world, including my own here in the UK," says Green."The sensor is buried in my garden about 0.5 meters below the surface. This allows very sensitive (sub nanotesla) measurements of magnetic declination during geomagnetic storms."

Een kleine scheur in het magnetisch veld zorgt voor een G1 klasse zonnestorm.
During the late hours of March 16th, a crack opened in Earth's magnetic field--not a big one, but big enough to cause a G1-class geomagnetic storm. Markus Varik witnessed the resulting auroras over Tromsø, Norway:
Markus Varik
"It sure felt like the sky was falling on the ground," says Varik. "Just look at the town below the lights--like a mote of dust in space!"
This storm was not predicted, yet it comes as no surprise. The vernal equinox is only a few days away, and at this time of year cracks often form in Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind can pour through the gaps to fuel bright displays of Arctic lights.
This is called the the "Russell-McPherron effect," named after the researchers who first explained it. The cracks are opened by the solar wind itself. South-pointing magnetic fields inside the solar wind oppose Earth's north-pointing magnetic field. The two, N vs. S, partially cancel one another, weakening our planet's magnetic defenses. This cancellation can happen at any time of year, but it happens with greatest effect around the equinoxes. Indeed, a 75-year study shows that March is the most geomagnetically active month of the year, followed closely by September-October–a direct result of "equinox cracks."
Northern spring is just around the corner. Stay tuned for green.

C4 klasse zonnevlam gehad en G2 klasse zonnestorm op komst.
Zo is er geen vlek op de zon te zien en zo heeft zonnevlek AR2736 zich in enkele dagen gevormd tot een zonnevlek van behoorlijke omvang
Solar Dynamics Observatory
Zijn lengte is inmiddels al een slordige 100.000 km en heeft al een aantal C klasse zonnevlammen geproduceerd.
NOAA/SWPC
Als gevolg daarvan is de verwachting dat we morgen (23 maart) te maken gaan krijgen met een G2 klasse zonnestorm.
Dit levert niet alleen mooie beelden op, maar kan ook invloed hebben op de radio communicatie- korte golf-.
umbra.nascom.nasa.gov
Waarom is deze vlek nu zo bijzonder?
Ten eerste is het de eerste vlek die sinds lange tijd weer te zien is op het zonne-oppervlak, aangezien we in een zonneminimum zitten.
Ten tweede heeft deze zonnevlek niet 1 + en - pool, maar meerdere. Deze botsen als het waren tegen elkaar, waardoor we dus de zonnevlammen zien, waarvan de laatste een C4 was.
Aangezien de zonnevlek op het moment dat de zonnevlam ontstond aardegericht was, is de verwachting dat de zonnedeeltjes morgen hier bij de aarde arriveren en de aurora borealis gaan veroorzaken.
We houden "het net " in de gaten en zullen in een update hier een aantal foto's/ tweets plaatsen, zodat iedereen ervan kan genieten.

Zo verwacht je een G2 klasse zonnestorm...en zo blijft deze uit.
Velen zaten te wachten op de voorspelde G2 klasse zonnestorm, helaas bleef deze uit. Er was wel een impact, maar deze was zeer zwak.Ook dat gebeurt wel eens helaas.
Desondanks is er voor morgen tot en met de 28e maart nog kans op aurora borealis doordat de zonnedeeltjes afkomstig uit het coronale gat dat nu aardegericht is, bij ons arriveert.
