Chance of flares today

This is from https://spaceweather.com/

CHANCE OF FLARES TODAY: NOAA forecasters say there is a 45% chance of M-class solar flares and a 10% chance of X-flares today, Feb. 16th. The likely source would be big sunspot AR3226, which has an unstable delta-class magnetic field and is directly facing Earth. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

A CME IS COMING: Yesterday, Feb. 15th, a magnetic filament straddling the sun’s equator erupted and hurled a partial halo CME toward Earth. Earth is the yellow dot in this NASA model of the approaching CME:

A similar NOAA model agrees: The CME should arrive during the late hours of Feb. 17th. First contact is expected to produce a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm, intensifying to moderate G2-class storming on Feb. 18th. During such storms, auroras can spill into the United States as far south as, e.g., New York and Idaho (55 deg. geomagnetic latitude). Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

AURORAS OVER NEW YORK: This morning, a crack opened in Earth’s magnetic field. Solar wind poured through the gap, sparking bright auroras as far south as New York. “It was a great surprise,” says James Perez-Rogers, who photographed the display at 1 am on Feb. 16th from the Ashokan Reservoir:

“The red color was not visible to the naked eye,” says Perez-Rogers, “but my camera picked it up easily.”

The “crack”–that is, an episode of negative BsubZ–was caused by a CME that passed close to Earth on Feb. 15th. South-pointing magnetic fields in the CME’s wake weakened Earth’s defenses against the solar wind, allowing the gaseous material to penetrate. Another CME expected to arrive on Feb. 17th could deliver a direct hit, creating even bigger cracks and brighter auroras.

FAST-GROWING SUNSPOT: Two days ago sunspot AR3085 barely existed. Since then it has grown more than 10-fold, turning itself into a double sunspot group with cores nearly as wide as Earth. Watch this movie. The active region is directly facing Earth and crackling with C-class solar flares. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

AURORAS ON JUPITER: Yesterday, NASA released the first James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of auroras on Jupiter. The red rings of light circling Jupiter’s poles were big enough to swallow Earth:

But Jupiter’s auroras are more then just oversized versions of our own. They are formed in a completely different way. One of the key ingredients is volcanoes, and–so much for space weather–solar activity is not required.

For the most part, Jupiter makes its own Northern and Southern Lights. It does this by spinning–like crazy. Jupiter turns on it axis once every 10 hours, dragging its giant planetary magnetic field around with it. Spinning a magnet is a great way to generate a few volts; kids do it all the time for science fair projects. Jupiter’s spin produces 10 million volts around its poles.

These voltages set the stage for non-stop auroras. The fuel comes from Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io, where active vents spew ions such as O+ and S+ into Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Polar electric fields grab these ions and slam them into Jupiter’s upper atmosphere. The resulting glow can be seen almost anytime JWST wants to look. Jupiter’s volcano-powered auroras are usually “on.”

Solar wind and CMEs can also help. However, solar storm clouds are naturally weakened by the time they travel all the way to Jupiter, five times farther from the sun than Earth. Also, Jupiter’s powerful magnetic field forms a potent shield. Io is already inside Jupiter’s “defenses,” so it can be more effective.

Two distinct auroras coexist over the poles of Jupiter: Ultraviolet auroras created by atmospheric hydrogen in its molecular form (H2) and infrared auroras created by the hydrogen ion H3+. JWST saw the infrared variety. In fact, the telescope is well instrumented to monitor these auroras. Its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) has a filter that nicely captures the 3.3 to 3.6 micron glow of H3+. NASA, we want more!

With Earth’s magnetic field wavering, we should expect to see plasma petroglyphs to return to skies above our heads in 2024. These are shapes you can expect as see by ancients across our planet and recorded on canyon walls. Electrical discharge or bolide concussion wave with hypersonic winds sculpting the surface of our planet over Kyrgyzstan as an example.

EARTH CAN MAKE ITS OWN AURORAS: Researchers from UCLA have discovered a new way Earth can make auroras. Electron beams shooting up from our planet’s atmosphere sometimes paint the sky green without the aid of solar activity. These “geo-auroras” can appear even when the sun is absolutely quiet. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.

There is so much that they are deliberately keeping hidden.  Why would they do that?  Well the simple answer is that knowledge is power.  If you know a disaster is about to happen you can front-run it and use it to your advantage.  Remember that  time travel movie where the scientist pretending he was a god by predicting an eclipse?  The people in the know are going to use the coming disaster to emerge as rulers of the “New Age”.   At least that is what they think.   Recommended viewing:
