Whoa...something's going on with the sun...

July 4, 2009

[Also there have been a number of pretty large EQs in the past few days---with the latest an hour or so ago--just 60 miles from Panama City measuring at 6 Mw

which follows another at 6 Mw at the Gulf of California earlier in the day...]

The SUN!

Check out the Xray flux all of a sudden after the apearance of the new sunspot(s)--and it's teeny---man if this is an indication of what mature Solar Cycle 24 sunspots are going to be like---we are in deep doodoo.. http://www.n3kl.org/sun/images/noaa_xrays.gif?

Crop Circle Connection???

All of this brings to mind also a friend's post of this morning about an Australian scientist's analysis of the evolving cropcircle at Milk Hill--which according to him could be a harbinger of a huge Coronal Mass Ejection on the afternoon of July 7. That's in three days. Didn't really think much of it until this sudden surge of sun activity.

Check it out---it is a very strange and complicated structure that has been evolving--with additions every few days since it appeared on Solstice Day on June 21. (I don't think I recall a crop circle that has evolved in this manner before)

Excerpt from the July 1st analysis of the crop circles:

From Australian scientist on July 1, 2009: â€œOur sextant-orrery analysis for Parts I and II of Milk Hill still seems perfectly correct, showing sextant-derived altitudes of the various planets for a date of July 6 - 7, 2009.

My best guess would be that July 7th will somehow be significant in our planetary history - twenty crop pictures since April 23 - possibly for revealing the first signs of instability in our Sun, leading up to December of 2012. Yet right now on our Sun, with only six days to go, nothing really spectacular is happening.

Well---that was then---and this is now...July 4

NEW SUNSPOT: Sunspot 1024 is growing rapidly and crackling with B-class solar flares. The magnetic polarity of the sunspot identifies it as a member of new Solar Cycle 24. Readers with solar telescopes should train their optics on the sun's southern hemisphere to witness sunspot genesis in action.
