Class C3 solar flare in a better way!


ABOVE- AT THE CENTER OF SUN, YOU CAN SEE THE SOLAR FLARE
IMAGE OF 16:28 UT
As mentioned in the previous article, A giant Solar Flare has erupted from the sun spot no. 1029 on sun. Solar flare occurs when Coronal Mass ejection or CME happens which occurs due to magnetic reconnection. In magnetic reconnection, magnetic field lines rearrange themselves opposite to the arrangement which causes a repulsive action releasing tremendous energy with hot plasma, electrons and other charged particles.

On August 1, a class C3 solar flare was ejected from the sunspot 1029 which is earth facing sun spot. So the flares headed towards the earth

IN THE ABOVE FALSE COLOR IMAGE OF SUN
YOU CAN SEE TWO MORE SOLAR FLARES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF IMG I.E RIGHT SIDE OF SUN
THEY ARE HEADING TO OTHER DIRECTION
THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT IS THE SOLAR X RAY FLUX DATA TAKEN BY GOES SATELLITE
THERE YOU CAN SEE THE X RAY FLUX INCREASING ON AUG 2 which is termed as Class A. On August it was a CLASS C ejection

The classification of solar flares is done by comparing the X ray flux of it. I didn't get August 1 image where the Flare reached 10 raised to -6 Wm-2

you can find the solar flare video-

A C3 Solar flare from sun hits the earth

THIS IMAGE IS SLIDES OF SUN SPOT NO 1092 SIDE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE SOLAR FLARE EXPANDING AS A SHOCKWAVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
THIS IS A TIMELAPSE OF 3:47-15:47UT,AUG 1
On August 1, A giant Coronal Mass Ejection or CME took place on the sun releasing many tons of plasma and other charged particles together called as Solar Wind

This happened from the solar spot 1092 at about 0855UT on AUG 1. A class C ejection is minor than class M and X ejection
All ejections ejected towards earth interact with Earth's magnetic field and with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in earth's ionosphere. If nitrogen atom regains electron then it emits blue light and if it comes to ground state from excited state then it emits red. Oxygen emits green or brownish red light
Due to this Auroras are created in the upper layers of atmosphere which can be seen from polar regions depending on the strength. If the CME is too strong as happened in 1989 where the auroras were seen in Texas in USA, then auroras can be seen in lower latitudes also
auroras were reported yesterday in Denmark,Greenland,Germany,Northern USA

As NASA scientist and I have discovered that a Solar Storm is likely in May 2013 where the CME can be a class X ejection, Significant auroras will be seen all over the world and also some communication problems for 1-2 day..

AURORAS WILL BE SEEN ON 4TH AUGUST ALSO IN UPPER AND LOWER 50 MORE AT POLAR REGIONS. PLACES IN 0-50 LATITUDE WILL NOT SEE THE AURORAS

A VIDEO VIA TELEGRAPH.UK CAN BE SEEN HERE. THIS ONE SHOWS DENMARK AURORA
