" credit : Vesa Vauhkonon and shared by spaceweather . com Earth ' s magnetic field is still experiencing some disturbances due to this weekends CME impact . Shawn Malone , whose photos we have shared before , this morning captured an image of aurora with lightning from a storm over Lake Superior . Fantastic ! ( courtesy : www . spaceweather . com and www . lakesuperiorphoto . com ) 3 part solar eruption underway ! ! AR 11520 has let out another one . A CME , flare and energetic particles . The flare looks to be very long duration and is still increasing , currently at M 1 . 7 . The flare doesn ' t look like it will make X but we have to wait and see . The CME is a beautiful ( text book looking ) event , very fast ( I think it is related ) and there is a sharp increase in protons . The region is in a good location to be magnetically well connected to Earth allowing for the protons to reach us quickly . Here are the 3 parts of the eruption . AR 11520 leaves with a BANG ! As the region rotates out of view , a parting gift of an M 7 . 7 flare peaking in the GOES X - ray at 5 : 58 UT ( 1 : 58 EDT ) . This event also has a increase in solar energetic particles ( SEP ) as well as a coronal mass ejection ( CME ) that blasted off to the East ( right side ) of the sun . More than likely this CME will miss us completely but we will have to wait for computer models to indicate whether or not we may still get a glancing blow . Aurora Australis - The Expedition 32 crew onboard the International Space Station , flying an altitude of approximately 240 miles , recorded a series of images of Aurora Australis , also known as the Southern Lights , on July 15 .

Here is the first image from Curiosity , a 64 by 64 pixel image . NASA ’ s Curiosity Mars Rover team gets the red iron medal ! There is an M 1 . 0 flare currently in progress in NOAA 11540 . It peaked in the GOES X - ray at 12 : 20 UT . There is an M class solar flare in progress . It peaked at M 2 . 4 in the GOES X - ray monitor at 13 : 19 UT . " That ' s one small step for man , one giant leap for mankind . " Neil Alden Armstrong ( August 5 , 1930 – August 25 , 2012 ) http : / / 1 . usa . gov / Pjpm 4 zThere may be a new active region in town soon ! An as of yet unnumbered region rotating almost into view released a series of small to moderate flares including a high C - class and an M 1 . 3 solar flare . The M flare produced a brief radio blackout . once the region is more on the disk we will have to see if it produces any interesting events . There is a nice sized filament sitting to the West of the region . The current activity is not considered high or of any concern . Just a region to keep an eye on . credit : SDO , NOAA / GOES , helioviewer . orgFantabulous Filament Eruption with a CME on the way ! A filament erupted from the southwest of the sun on August 31 , 2012 around 19 : 30 UT . The event had a C 8 flare associated with it as well as a O - type CME ( O = Occasional , 1000 - 2000 km / s ) with a speed of ~ 1998 km / s ( as estimated by NASA ) . Solar energetic particle ( SEP ) levels increased to the S 1 level on the NOAA S 1 to S 5 scale . The official NOAA forecast predicts the CME to arrive at Earth early on Sept . 3 rd while NASA Space Weather Research Center models estimate arrival early on the 2 nd . Models indicate a minor geomagnetic storm ( G 1 on a scale of G 1 to G 5 ) with chance for a slightly stronger G 2 storm . There may be some minor impact to high frequency ( HF ) radio near the poles for an S 1 radiation storm . The only noticeable effects for the G 1 will probably be aurora activity at slightly lower latitudes , maybe down to areas such as the northern US and lower Canada . The CME models may be updated as more data is available . Stay tuned ! It is here ! The magnetic cloud from the Aug . 31 , 2012 CME produced by the beautiful filament eruption has reached Earth . The CME was not a direct shot and the speed slower than some initial estimates ( now ~ 1500 km / s ) but the magnetosphere is now feeling the impact . The magnetosphere has been compressed by the CME so that magnetopause or boundary of the magnetosphere is now close into the location of the orbits of geosynchronous satellites ( low Earth orbit ) . When this happens satellite operators want to make sure that satellites do not become disoriented as to their location . We should not see too much effects on Earth except for the possible increase in Aurora activity at higher latitudes . Here is an image of the magnetopause location in relation to geosynchronous orbit . Normally the magnetopause is somewhere around 12 - 13 Re or Earth radii . Now it is around 6 . 5 - 7 Re . A Huge Northward Filament Eruption with a CME ! A filament on the Northwest limb of the sun erupted , Sept . 4 , 2012 , around 13 : 00 UT . The filament expanded over many hours and was at least 500 , 000 km in extent by the time it left the sun , forming a CME ( coronal mass ejection ) . By the time it was well in the SOHO / LASCO C 2 field - of - view its extent was over 2 times the diameter of the sun or almost 3 million kilometers . The CME continued off northward , not in the direction of Earth with a speed of around 550 km / s . credit : SDO , SOHO and helioviewer . orgSwirly Burly Aurora ! The filament eruption on August 31 , 2012 was spectacular but the beauty didn ' t end there . The resulting CME ( coronal mass ejection ) impact on Sept . 3 disturbed Earth ' s magnetopshere giving those at higher latitudes an amazing show . Here is one such image courtesy of David Cartier , Sr . and shared by my colleagues at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center , http : / / www . nasa . gov / mission _ pages / sunearth / news / News 090412 - filament . html . Dark Side of the Sun ! This week SDO ' s fall 2012 eclipse season begins . SDO has a geosynchronous orbit , which means that twice a year the Earth ' s shadow temporarily covers the sun as seen from SDO . These eclipse seasons happen twice a year and last several weeks . Here is a set of SDO images for 6 different wavelengths during the first eclipse for the season on Sept . 6 , 2012 . Nearly simultaneous activity ! An M 1 . 4 flare from AR 11564 peaked in X - rays at 17 : 59 UT while an eruption from AR 11562 occurred shortly before that from AR 11562 . Here is an image from SDO / AIA 304 angstrom with a GOES X - ray plot and the SDO / EVE SAM X - ray pinhole camera . Here is a video of the events from SunsFlare . https : / / www . facebook . com / photo . php ? v = 431624530216604 Aurora and a Fireball ! Ole C . Salomonsen photographed aurora in the arctic circle and also captured a fireball . Posting on spaceweather . com Salomonsen said , " The biggest fireball I have ever catched on camera , and probably ever will . This was a great photographic moment for me ! This shot was taken tonigh sept 20 th , an evening wich was full of awesome auroras in magnifcent shapes and colors . This shot was far from the one with the most auroras in from tonight , still a magnificent fireaball , reflected , above my favorite mountain Otertinden , a 90 min drive from Tromsø , northern Norway , deserves to go out first . Awesome autumnal colors in the forest and a completely silent river in front . The fireball lasted for about 6 - 7 seconds until it vanished behind the mountain , by the way this mountain is over 1200 meters high , so do not be fooled by the 14 mm wide angle lens ! There was some very distinguished blue colors surrounding the fireballs edges . Never ever seen anything big like this ! " credit : Ole Salomonsen and spaceweather . comAurora from Finland ! Tom Eklund took these photos last night in Akaa , Finland . Eklund said , " This was one nice auroral event -- maybe the best display so far during this solar cycle ! The vivid green belts with their pink lower edges were breaktaking . " credit : Tom Eklund and spaceweather . comAround 15 : 00 - 15 : 30 UT yesterday ( 9 / 23 / 2012 ) a prominence erupted off the east limb with resulting CME . This was a very nice eruption but it is not expected to have any impact on Earth . Here are some frames of the eruption in SDO and CME in LASCO along with a computer model showing the CME travel away from the sun and missing Earth . ( credit : SDO , SOHO and NASA SWRC ) A nice multipart event on the back of the sun . A flare , CME and SEP . Around 10 : 45 UT , 9 / 27 / 12 , an eruption occurred on the backside . It had what looks like moderate sized flare and a CME directed away from Earth . The CME will impact STEREO A . A solar particle storm was measured at STEREO A . ( credit : NASA , STEREO and SWRC ) The sun throws a little something our way ! At ~ 23 : 30 UT , a filament west of and adjacent to AR 11157 erupted . There was a long duration C 3 . 7 flare with bright flare ribbons , a coronal wave and solar particle event . The material flung away producing a CME with a speed of ~ 1000 km / s . This relatively slow blob of plasma and magnetic field is expected to reach Earth Sept . 30 , 2012 . Interesting info : Despite being a minor eruption the solar particles were seen at 3 different spacecraft ( STEREO A and B are on opposite sides of the sun ) because of the CME ’ s width ( extent ) . The impact will probably not be strong but we can expect some aurora ! ( credit : NASA SOHO / STEREO / SDO / SWRC , helioviewer . org , solarmonitor . org ) The CME is here ! The coronal mass ejection from late 9 / 27 reached Earth around 11 : 45 UT this morning ( 9 / 30 ) . Here is data from the ACE spacecraft ( which is about 1 million miles from Earth ) . It shows a slight increase in solar wind density as the CME reached the spacecraft . Predictions are for a minor ( G 1 ) up to moderate ( G 2 ) geomagnetic storm . High altitude aurora watchers may get to see some aurora tonight into tomorrow . The full moon will probably make it more difficult to see the aurora lights . Aurora ! Last night ' s geomagnetic storm reached a medium strength level of G 3 ( Kp index = 7 ) on the NOAA scale . Aurora was reported as far south in the United States as Michigan , Maryland , Pennsylvania , Wisconsin , Ohio , Montana , Minnesota , Washington , Idaho , Illinois and South Dakota . Here is an image from Shawn Malone showing aurora in Michigan . credit : Shawn Malone and spaceweather . comAurora in the Antarctic ! Stefan Christmann caught aurora and penguins today during last night ' s geomagnetic storm . From Stefan , " For the fifth or sixth night we made the attempt to photograph our nearby emperor penguin colony , together with the Aurora Australis . All of our previous attempts had failed , due to incoming clouds , gusty winds or just low activity . Tonight we tried again , and this time got lucky . It was by far the most awesome experience of Auroras so far here in Antarctica . Together with the full - moon and the penguin colony it was a sight we will never forget ! " credit : Stefan Christmann and spaceweather . comGoat Aurora Over Greenland ! From Astronomy Picture of the Day - Explanation : Sometimes it ' s hard to believe what you see in the sky . During the Shelios Expedition to Greenland in late August , even veteran sky enthusiasts saw auroras so colorful , so fast changing , and so unusual in form that they could remember nothing like it . As the ever changing auroras evolved , huge shapes spread across the sky morphed from one familiar form into another , including what looked to be the head of a goat ( shown above ) , the head of an elephant , a strange green - tailed comet , and fingers on a celestial hand . Even without the aurora , the sky would be notable for the arching band of our Milky Way Galaxy and the interesting field of stars , nebulas , and galaxies . In contrast , in the foreground is a farm house in Tasiusaq , Kujalleq . Greenland . The Shelios project exists not only to observe auroras but to motivate students to consider a career in science . http : / / apod . nasa . gov / apod / ap 121003 . htmlCoronal mass ejections on the 5 th and 7 th may glance Earth ' s magnetosphere on 10 / 8 ( today ) and 10 / 10 . The impacts are expected to be minor but high latitude aurora watchers could see aurora over the next several days . Here is a look at the first CME in the SOHO LASCO C 2 telescope . This image also includes a difference image ( the image with the one just prior to it subtracted from it ) . Difference images make it easier to see faint CMEs . A new active region just over the northeastern limb was the source of an M 2 . 3 X - ray solar flare at 10 / 08 / 11 : 17 UT . This region may produce additional M class events . Here is a plot of the GOES X - ray intensity showing the M 2 . 3 flare as well as an image of a beautiful CME observed by SOHO LASCO . Given the location of the event we will probably not see any effects at Earth .

Given the location of the event we will probably not see any effects at Earth . Geomagnetic activity ! The coronal mass ejection has reached Earth and we are now at the NOAA G 2 geomagnetic storm level ( scale of G 1 to G 5 ) . This is moderate activity but we can expect aurora at higher latitudes . Aurorae have already been reported in the USA as far south as Kansas , Utah and Colorado . Also , the ACE spacecraft has seen several significant dips in the solar wind magnetic field that are opposite the main direction of Earth ' s indicating more possible activity . Here is a plot of the magnetic field ( the z component ) . M 1 . 7 solar flare @ 23 : 31 UT Oct . 9 , 2012 Two new active regions could bring solar activity , one numbered ( AR 11589 ) and one not yet on the solar disk . Based on recent activity M class flares are possible from both . The region just over the limb produced an M 1 flare at 5 : 04 UT . See ( https : / / www . facebook . com / photo . php ? fbid = 443008612411529 & set = a . 338119082900483 . 77131 . 334233679955690 & type = 1 & theater ) Geomagnetic activity continued last night with many aurora reports . See ( http : / / www . thesuntoday . org / current - observations / the - sun - today - for - october - 10 - 2012 / ) Solar activity levels have remained low over the past day though there was a C 9 . 0 flare peaking at 8 : 20 UT from region 11589 . The second of the 2 new regions is completely on the disk and is now numbered 11590 . There are 4 numbered regions on the disk , 11585 , 11586 , 11589 and 11590 . Here is a visible light view of the sun from the SDO HMI instrument . ( credit : NASA / SDO / HMI ) M 9 . 0 Solar Flare at 18 : 14 UT . This is just shy of an X flare . Originally there was an R 2 ( out of 5 ) radio blackout alert . Now it is an R 1 . ( NOAA scales - http : / / www . swpc . noaa . gov / NOAAscales / index . html # RadioBlackouts ) This came from a new region not yet on the solar disk . It probably produced a coronal mass ejection but data on this is not yet available ( Any CME produced would be not be directly aimed at Earth ) . Faint coronal mass ejection ( CME ) ! The eruption associated with the M flare and wiggling loops around 18 : 30 also produced a faint CME . The CME was directed off the east limb ( left ) and so is not Earth directed . It is possible the CME could glance Earth ' s magnetosphere but probably not . We will have to wait for CME propagation computer models . ( credit : NASA / ESA SOHO / LASCO ) Another M flare ! The region that produced yesterday ' s M 9 flare produced an M 1 . 3 flare that peaked at 20 : 03 UT in x - rays . Here is a look at the event with SDO / AIA in 131 Angstroms . A nice bright CME ! The M 1 . 3 event had an associated coronal mass ejection ( CME ) that is nice and bright ( but not so fast ) in SOHO / LASCO C 2 . The CME is not Earth directed but we will have to wait to see if there is any chance it will glance Earth . X flare ! The new region AR 11598 has just produced an X 1 . 8 solar flare . The region also produced an M 5 yesterday . A R 3 radio blackout storm was issued for this event . Any coronal mass ejection produced could have some impact on Earth . The complexity of AR 11598 has increased giving it what we call a delta configuration . Though not a strong delta at this point , this is an indication for a slight chance for an X flare ( probably only a few % at this point ) . A delta configuration is when there is mixed magnetic polarity ( positive and negative ) within the sunspot ' s penumbra . The penumbra is the lighter region surrounding the dark central umbra . The region has around a 20 % chance for more M flares . If the region ' s complexity continues to grow over the next few days then there would be a good chance for an X flare when the area gets to the solar disk center ( most Earth directed ) . If it did produce a CME then the chances of it traveling directly towards Earth would be high . I haven ' t studied the region well enough to have a good feeling for why it did not produce a CME during the X flare . But what I do know is that the X flare was very impulsive ( short and spiky ) . Typically , CMEs come from what we call long duration events . So when this flare happened first indications were that it would not have a CME or at least a significant one . Here is an image showing the sunspots , magnetic field and the 2 images together . Solar activity appears to have picked up just a bit ! An M 1 . 7 flare peaked at 02 : 23 UT . This is not really a big flare but everybody ' s attention picks up when the activity level reached M - class ( mine included ) . I don ' t yet know where the event came from ( the data will be available shortly ) but I think it came from the new region open to rotate over the northeast limb . More soon . The region that just produced an M 1 . 7 may provide some more activity . We will have to wait to get some more data and wait until it rotates onto the disk . But the current event looks interesting . Here is a snapshot in the SDO / AIA 304 angstrom camera . This image is from just after the peak of the X - ray flare but there is still a lot of emission , which can be seen the extended part in the GOES plot . Aurora ! one of the recent Earth directed CMEs has impacted our magnetosphere . A minor geomagnetic storm is underway . If you are at high latitudes you could get to see an auroral surprise . Oskar Pettersson took this picture in Luleå , Sweden . Good luck to the watchers ! ( credit : spaceweather . com and Oskar Pattersson ) More details on the eclipse in Australia ! AR 11613 is at it again . An M 2 . 8 just peaked in the GOES X - ray monitor around 20 : 54 UT . Here is a graph of the GOES X - ray intensity . Can never get too much aurora ! Ole C . Salomonsen sent this picture from Tromsø , Norway to spaceweather . com . A geomagnetic storm level of G 2 ( moderate ) was reached on Nov . 14 due to a CME passing by Nov . 13 . Aurora visible to the naked eye was seen in Minnesota , Michigan , the Dakotas , Wisconsin , Vermont , Connecticut and , just barely , Colorado and Kansas . Another M - class flare ! That makes 4 in the last 24 hours . 3 came from AR 11618 ( including the most recent M 3 . 5 that peaked at 15 : 30 UT ) . one came from AR 11611 off the west limb . Secrets of the Northern Lights , check out the featured article by our colleague and friend Pål Brekke in http : / / www . skyandtelescope . com / skytel . A featured image in the article is the aurora in Lapland March 2012 by Babak A . Tafreshi . " In the evening twilight of Lapland , northern Sweden , bright planets Venus and Jupiter appear close together in a beautiful conjunction while spectacular display of the northern lights ( aurora borealis ) paints the sky in green and red . " The current forecast is a 15 % - 20 % chance for aurora , Jan 8 - 9 , at high latitudes ( near the poles ) due to a stream of high speed solar wind impacting Earth . In the meantime here is a photo of the aurora in Inari , Finland taken by Andy Keen on Jan . 5 . ( credit : Andy Keen , shared by spaceweather . com ) A very slow and faint CME is headed towards Earth . It was very hard to see in LASCO and STEREO and its source on the solar disk is unclear . It occurred in the first part of Jan . 13 around 7 - 8 UT . Its speed is around 470 km / s or 292 mps , which is quite slow . Computer models indicate that it will have a very minor impact on Earth and may only slightly enhance Aurora at high latitudes . Here is an image from a computer model showing the CMEs propagation towards Earth . Impact is estimated to be 2 : 18 UT , Jan . 17 , 2013 with an error of +- 7 hours . ( credit : NASA Space Weather Research Center ) Solar and geomagnetic activity has been moderate to low but that doesn ' t mean it is uninteresting . Solar wind and minor CMEs ( including the Jan . 13 th CME ) have left the geomagnetic field unsettled . Minor geomagnetic activity is expected on Jan . 20 th due to a CME from Jan . 16 th . Flare forecasts for AR 11654 are for a 20 - 50 % chance of M - class flares and a 5 - 20 % chance for X - class flares . High latitude aurora observers should keep there eyes out over the next few days . Here is an aurora photo entitled " Reflections " taken by Rune Bjørkli on Jan . 15 th from Porsanger , Norway . ( credit : Rune Bjørkli shared by space weather . com ) Earth ' s magnetic field was hit by a CME around 17 : 39 UT on Jan . 19 , 2012 . Evidence for this can be seen in these measurements of the solar wind recorded ( at 17 : 15 UT ) by the ACE ( Advanced Composition Explorer ) spacecraft located 1 million miles from Earth . The signatures seen here are increases in solar wind speed and temperature and an increase in the downward Z component of the magnetic field . Events at ACE take about 15 - 30 minutes to reach Earth . High altitude aurora observers keep watch .

Today , I want to share something that has been weighing heavily on my mind : equality . Speaking as a homeless person , I know I carry with me a stigma . This is one of the heaviest burdens I have to endure on a daily basis . However , I do have emotions , desires and needs … as impossible as it may seem to some . All I wish is that others would see me as a human being , not someone who should automatically be discounted . I want people to know that I am part of the 90 %, not the 10 % that bring about all the negative images . Just because I have no home to call my own does not mean that I don ’ t want my child , family and loved ones around . I require all the same things as you do … love , affection , passion , tolerance , understanding , compassion and acceptance . I bleed the same color , feel the same emotions and dream the same as you . All I want is for people to stop and take the time today to consider these things , because you never know when that chance will come again . Nothing is ever guaranteed ; the shoe may someday be on the other foot . I only want what is best for everyone ; that is all I ’ ve ever wanted in life . So , please , do us both a favor , take this opportunity to see me as I really am … another living soul fighting to make its way in this world . If you have any questions or comments ( positive or negative ) , please feel free to contact me . I encourage you all to share your thoughts . Peace , love and wisdom to allCatherine Norris MorrisonMI 6 and CIA were told before invasion that Iraq had no active WMDBBC ' s Panorama reveals fresh evidence that agencies dismissed intelligence from Iraqi foreign minister and spy chiefFresh evidence is revealed today about how MI 6 and the CIA were told through secret channels by Saddam Hussein ' s foreign minister and his head of intelligence that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction . Tony Blair told parliament before the war that intelligence showed Iraq ' s nuclear , chemical , and biological weapons programme was " active ", " growing " and " up and running ". A special BBC Panorama programme tonight will reveal how British and US intelligence agencies were informed by top sources months before the invasion that Iraq had no active WMD programme , and that the information was not passed to subsequent inquiries . It describes how Naji Sabri , Saddam ' s foreign minister , told the CIA ' s station chief in Paris at the time , Bill Murray , through an intermediary that Iraq had " virtually nothing " in terms of WMD . Sabri said in a statement that the Panorama story was " totally fabricated ". read more : http : / / m . guardiannews . com / world / 2013 / mar / 18 / panorama - iraq - fresh - wmd - claimsSpiritual progress is like detoxification .

Importantly , the fetal brain was shown to be very sensitive to methylmercury ; developmental impairments such as reduced ability in thinking , attention span , memory , and most motor skills occurred in various degrees , often severe , even if the mother developed few if any symptoms . read more : http : / / www . emedicinehealth . com / mercury _ poisoning / page 3 _ em . htmFor fetuses , infants , and children , the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development . Methylmercury exposure in the womb , which can result from a mother ' s consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury , can adversely affect a baby ' s growing brain and nervous system . Impacts on cognitive thinking , memory , attention , language , and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb . Recent human biological monitoring by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999 and 2000 ( PDF ) ( 3 pp . , 42 KB , About PDF ) shows that most people have blood mercury levels below a level associated with possible health effects .

In 1874 , German scientists developed a formula for a painkiller that they thought would be less addictive than morphine . They simply added two acetyls to morphine to synthesize diacetylmorphine . Heinrich Dreser , the head of Bayer drug development tried it on animals and humans . He , also , tried it on himself , which may have been the problem . He was very pleased with the results and decided it was a good treatment for many ailments especially respiratory ones like bronchitis , asthma and tuberculosis . The Bayer company started marketing Heroin in 1898 . They derived the name from the German word heroisch . Often , they would place it in ads along with their Bayer aspirin advertising the merits of their new cough syrup , " Heroin - the sedative for coughs . " Bayer gave out free samples of Heroin to doctors . The doctors prescribed it to their patients . Heroin quickly gained widespread acceptance in the medical community unaware of its addictive qualities . Bayer was soon enthusiastically selling it in dozens of countries . read more : http : / / www . freeenterpriseland . com / BOOK / GONEWRONG . htmlThe easiest thing to be in the world is you .

It is ourselves we ' re helping , ourselves we ' re healing . Dr . Govindappa Venkataswamy “ Humans are amphibians . .. half spirit and half animal . .. as spirits they belong to the eternal world , but as animals they inhabit time . This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object , their bodies , passions , and imaginations are in continual change , for to be in time , means to change . Their nearest approach to constancy , therefore , is undulation -- the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back , a series of troughs and peaks . ”― C . S .
