SUPER SOLAR FILAMENT: SPACE WEATHER .com

SPACE WEATHER LAUNCH TODAY: In Florida, the weather forecast is 90% "go" for today's launch of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) from Cape Canaveral. Liftoff is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 6:03 pm. DSCOVR is a satellite of considerable importance to space weather forecasting. once launched, it will monitor solar wind from the L1 point one-million miles upstream from Earth and succeed the aging ACE spacecraft in providing early warnings of incoming CMEs and other solar storms. Check the launch blog for updates.

SUPER SOLAR FILAMENT: It is, arguably, the second biggest thing in the solar system. A filament of magnetism almost 1,000,000 km long is stretching across the face of the sun. only the sun itself is bigger. Yesterday in the Canary Islands, Frank A. Rodriguez used a Lunt Solar Telescope to photograph the super structure:

This is a solar filament, a tendril of plasma held suspended above the surface of the sun by magnetic forces. Filaments appear on the sun all the time, but this one is unusually large, 5 to 10 times longer than ordinary filaments. If it becomes unstable and erupts, it could hurl parts of itself into space. Pieces of the filament falling back to the solar surface would explode upon impact, sparking a Hyder flare.

Astronomers with backyard solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor the structure in the days ahead. A photogenic explosion may be in the offing.Solar flare alerts: text, voice
