C2H2 - Simulations of Specific Events. In order to get a better understanding of coronal mass ejection (CME) events that occur on the Sun, C2H2 researchers create numerical simulations to model real CMEs observed by satellites. Reproducing observed results through simulations helps explain and constrain the underlying physics, boundary conditions, and processes behind a CME’s creation and evolution. To illustrate how numerical simulations are carried out, we describe a case in which a series of CMEs was modeled by C2H2 researchers.

Vukcevic has kindly given permission to reproduce some ongoing research which will be of interest to people learning about earthquakes and their precursor indicators. Vukcevic states:“the tb’s talkshop does not take any responsibility either for statements or data presented. Please note that there are number of the geomag parameters which I have not labelled, in case I decide they are no longer relevant, or if pattern does hold for some time I might be able to publish results.” EARTHQUAKES AND GEOMAGNETIC STORMS This is an ongoing ‘live’ project (started on 02/03/2011, prompted by the N.
Scientists have been tracking and studying substorms for more than a century, yet these phenomena remained mostly unknown until THEMIS went into action. It is likely that in the electrical terms any tectonic fault is also the weakest point. What the #$*! is all this about - Earth in Danger. The "Solar Flare" is an explosive release of energy (both electromagnetic and charged particles) within a relatively small (but greater than earth-sized) region of the solar atmosphere.
Solar flares happen 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) away from Earth but can damage satellites and interfere with terrestrial communications and power supplies. Solar Wind The thermal energy of ionized coronal gas is so great that Sun's gravitational field cannot retain the gas in a confined static atmosphere. Instead, there is a continuous, near-radial, outflow of charged particles into interplanetary space, called solar wind. This highly tenuous plasma carrying mass and angular momentum away from the Sun. That flow comes to the Earth with a supersonic velocity - at about 400 km/s, but the its concentration is too low - few particles per cm3 . Solar wind is the ongoing process of particles flowing from the surface of the Sun. THE 12 DAYS OF ELENIN. THE SUN TODAY: 6 September 2011 - YET MORE M FLARES.

McAllister Helio Research Collaborators: A. Hundhausen and D. MacKay Cartoons and Animations by T. We present here work carried out over the last decade focused on understanding the large scale coronal evolution and signatures associated with coronal mass ejection (CME) generation. Coronal Streamers, Coronal Arcades and CMEs The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) observations [Hundhausen, 1993] suggested that there was an association between the white light streamers which are the main source of CMEs (as seen in coronagraphs) and the dynamic coronal arcades seen in x-rays following at least some CMEs.
After Yohkoh's Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) started returning images in September 1992, it became apparent that most quiet sun CMEs had an associated dynamic soft x-ray arcade appearing after the eruption [McAllister et. al., 1992; Hanaoka et. al., 1994; Hiei, Hundhausen, and Sime, 1993; McAllister et. al., 1996].

Bang! Bang! Bang! Our Misunderstood Sun. “We stand on the verge of a vast cosmical discovery such as nothing hitherto imagined can compare with.”
—Sir John Herschel in 1850, upon the discovery of a link between magnetic storms on Earth and sunspots, to Michael Faraday, the vaunted experimentalist who was investigating the links between electricity and magnetism. Sir John Herschel from 1846 The Year-book of Facts in Science and Art By John Timbs, London: Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. Incredibly, one hundred and sixty years later in the space age, Herschel’s “vast cosmical discovery such as nothing hitherto imagined can compare with,” of an Electric Universe, remains “on the verge.”
Mistaken ideas have diverted scientists down the path of Ptolemy once more, adding endless epicycles to theory to save appearances. Meanwhile the object central to the problem is the same and in full view. Astronomers in the Dark The Milky Way is a blazing spectacle in the southern hemisphere sky.

Prepare & Fortify National Security: for an inevitable Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), both natural and man made are deemed likely. One man made device over the center of the USA and detonated near 100-200 miles high, will cripple the USA - coast to coast, and most of the urban areas of Canada and Mexico in an instant.
It could take decades to repair our way out of such an event. Within two days there would be no food to buy in any city, nor equipment to run a farm, nor phones, cars, trucks. The sun can be massively more powerful, and be world wide crippling event - except for the Hardened military bases and underground facilities. To secure our National Security, harden our power grid infrastructure-backbone against an EMP – pre-position spare parts & and create a core system hardened to allow something to come back on-line quickly allowing us to build our way out of a crashed grid, and save millions of lives in the short and near term.

By Christopher Jordan The Ancient Solar Premise is simple, the ancients were originally using the sun, not idolizing it. There are two key devices that support this view, parabolic sun dishes and structures that collected and stored solar energy in large stones. These technologies allowed the ancient world to thrive for centuries with the sustainable energy of the sun.
The solar religions followed as the importance of the devices grew and the processes became ritualized. Eventually the solar power was replaced by fossil fuel and the historians were left with the religious view. The ease with which sun dishes could be made to concentrate sunlight by thousands of orders is outlined in the paper ‘The Math Behind Burning Mirrors’. Sun Temples have many names throughout the world, they are identified by the local solar deity and are variously dedicated to Ra, Siva, Brahma, Baal, Bel, Re, Marduk, etc. The Solar Chamber Below is a generic Asiatic ‘shrine’, usually described as a sanctuary.

By Agence France-PresseTuesday, June 7, 2011 18:13 EDT WASHINGTON — An unusual solar flare observed by a NASA space observatory on Tuesday could cause some disruptions to satellite communications and power on Earth over the next day or so, officials said.
The potent blast from the Sun unleashed a firestorm of radiation on a level not witnessed since 2006, and will likely lead to moderate geomagnetic storm activity by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. “This one was rather dramatic,” said Bill Murtagh, program coordinator at the NWS’s Space Weather Prediction Center, describing the M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare that peaked at 1:41 am Eastern time in the United States, or 0541 GMT. “We saw the initial flare occurring and it wasn’t that big but then the eruption associated with it — we got energy particle radiation flowing in and we got a big coronal mass injection,” he said. “You can see all the materials blasting up from the Sun so it is quite fantastic to look at.”

The Arietids are unusual because they are daytime meteors; the shower is most intense after sunrise. People who wake up early might notice a small number of Arietids during the dark hours before dawn. The real action, however, occurs in broad daylight. Tune into the meteor radar for echoes.

To this day, Coca-Cola still imports coca leaves which are used to manufacture cocaine in the United States.
(NaturalNews) Coca leaves have been chewed and consumed as tea for thousands of years in the high Andes.
They are rich in many essential nutrients; they ease respiratory and digestive distress and are a natural stimulant and painkiller. Indigenous tradition and scientific studies have both confirmed that in their natural form, the leaves are completely safe and non-addictive -- it takes intensive processing and toxic chemical ingredients to produce cocaine. That's why more and more coca-containing products have started to hit the market in Andean countries in the past few years. Yet the United States still aggressively pursues an eradication policy that encourages Andean governments to spray their forests with toxic chemicals to eliminate this medicinal crop. It is illegal to import or possess the leaves under U.S. law -- unless you're the Coca-Cola company. (Coca-Cola, by the way, used to literally contain cocaine in its original formula.
