Heliophysics Data Sources -- Sun Science -- It's Really Cool Stuff, and Important to Get Out in the Public Domain

NUKE PRO: Exposing Truth Anti-Nuclear Information and Resources, and Disaster Preparation Planning: http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/ I have always watched these at Suspicious0bservers.   I decided it was finally time to find the sources.

I also use the Helioviewer.    Just type that into any Search Engine.

From the SDO, Coronal Holes are best shown at 193 Angstroms, the default shows 3 views, but you 

can customize it using the “sprocket gear” thingy, aka Settings.

And here you get the real time solar wind, including the all important Phi angle

And this perked up my ears today.   They actually called it a G2 magnetic storm.   We havent seen red in months that I can recall.   Quiet sun has been boring.  

That should change as we head into an uptick in sun spots and magnetism (we hope).

NOAA is horrible at predicting things.   From 2007 they had a wide range of predictions….so someone will almost for sure be right!   

Us citizen scientists, though, predicted that our
“average peak” would actually be the lowest predicted curve by NOAA, around 75 as a smoothed average.  There is a lot of variability, so just using the highest peak, would not represent the “strength” of the overall cycle.
