Solar Flares and Solar Cycle
Class-M eruptions*) affected shortwave in parts of the Philippines, India, and Hawaii on Wednesday and on Thursday, according to „Prensa Bolivariana“, a pro-Maduro website or blog. Quoting a channel named „Earthsky“, it also notes that more flares may be expected, but not necessarily with much effect on communications.
According to the same article, the current solar activity peak is expected to be reached some time during the first three quarters of 2025.

Mastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).
How does your work benefit from satellites?
I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 😄
Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 😊
(To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)
Hashtag suggestions are welcome.
(Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are #Astronomy and #astronomy functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 😉)

NOAA doesn't believe in a double maximum of #SolarActivity during the current cyle: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression - the smoothed (that's the metric to look at) sunspot number peaked last fall and has been sliding ever since. There is no reason seen to expect a second peak (like the previous three cycles had but even earlier ones didn't have) but surprises are always possible, of course.
Very Fascinating Channel
On Oct 3 2024 we had the most intense solar flare of the current solar maximum. Seen on the Solar Ultraviolet Imager on #GOES19 #SolarActivity https://phys.org/news/2024-10-satellite-imagery-solar-telescope.html
Out for a walk in Telluride, CO... here for the Horror Film Festival...
First time seeing Aurora, even with trips way north...
Pink is rare, more so this far south, high solar activity...
My other half is an astronomer & space weather scientist, she is very excited!

The Sun Is More Active Than Scientists Anticipated. Here’s What It Means For Us. : ScienceAlert…
Solar cycles typically occur every 11 years. Within that time, the Sun oscillates from minimum to maximum solar activity, with maximum activity peaking in the middle of the cycle when the Sun's magnetic fields flip... Science Alert #sun #solarcycles #solaractivity #science
Como proyecto de fin de semana, convertí el RTL-SDR en un Poor Man's eCallisto (por los radiotelescopios de esa red), con una antena de handy y un cable usb de 5m. Lo voy a dejar tomando datos a ver si puedo detectar llamaradas solares en radio, está difícil, pero si detecta algo me tiro a hacer una antena mejor, una logarítmica o algo así #radio #telescopio #solar #rtlsdr #hamradio #solarburst #ecallisto #solaractivity #actividadsolar #solarstorm #tormentasolar
