6 M-flares & 8 C-Flares In The Past 48 Hours

6 M-Class Flares in Last 48 Hours 
 - Full Solar Eclipse Tonight

Solar activity has been active during the past 48 hours, featuring six M flares as well as eight C flares. All flares were produced by sunspot region 1613, except two C flares released by region 1614.

The brightest flare had its M6.0 peak near 02:04 UT on November 13th and was accompanied by a Type II radio burst with estimated high-speed of 575 km/s as observed by Culgoora. The M2.0 flare peaking at 23:28 UT on November 12th was also accompanied by a Type II radio burst with estimated high-speed of 645 km/s as registered by Learmonth.

 

More M-class flares are expected within the next 48 hours, with a chance for an X flare, especially from region 1613. All six M-class flares were associated with CMEs. Data received from LASCO instruments were not able to confirm if the latest CMEs would create a geomagnetic storm.

A shock wave was observed in the ACE solar wind data at 22:16 UT on November 12th, probably due to the arrival of the CMEs from November 9th and 10th. Solar wind speeds jumped from 315 to 372 km/s, while the IMF (interplanetary magnetic field) suddenly increased from 7 to 18 nT (nanotesla = 10-9 Tesla).

 

 

Several High-Moderate Quakes Related to Solar Activity

 

In almost perfect sequence, several moderate to large earthquakes have occurred along the ring-of-fire. This could be a "good" thing. It is well known a series of moderate quakes can release enough pressure to negate a large to mega-quake.

However, this is not always the case. The best scientific analogy (believe it or not) can only be - "We'll just have to wait and see."

I would say the most volatile locations for dangerous scenarios would be along the coast of Alaska - which includes the Queen Charlotte fault and the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Another would be the Middle America Trench which runs along Central America.

  • It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

  • I wonder if the recent, apparent exodus of elites is in anticipation of a solarcaust?

  • Lots of solar activity lately.
