Coronal Mass Ejections In 2024 (Earth = Black Dot)

Sun is blowing smoke in our faces.

[u/pbrevis → u/SilentSamsquanch]

Co.M. shot

[u/Ok-Education9280 → u/pbrevis]

Good one

[u/rmdingler37]

Looks like our star is bored, or tired of us and testing a weapons system.

[u/Scall123 → u/rmdingler37]

Must be most star's behaviour. Imagine the solar systems without species to just fuck around with. The stars must be bored out of their minds!

[u/Ladnarr2]

What is Sta? It’s close to Earth, is it the moon?

[u/BossKitten99 → u/Ladnarr2]

“That’s no moon…”

[u/kb31976 → u/BossKitten99]

I got that reference!

[u/Busy_Yesterday9455 → u/Ladnarr2]

No, it isn't the Moon. I believe it's the NASA's STEREO-Ahead satellite.

[u/Hush001]

Could someone please explain the scale here? What would happen if that dark ejection hit the earth? What would it look like?

[u/RyRyShredder → u/Hush001]

The dark is the lack of ejection. The sun was taking a break in that spot so nothing would happen.

[u/CEDoromal → u/RyRyShredder]

Would it increase my internet speed?

[u/McEuen78 → u/CEDoromal]

The dark parts would be normal internet speed, the light spots would be no, or very slow internet. Sunspots inturrupt internet frequencies.

[u/CEDoromal → u/McEuen78]

But if we're constantly at around 500 (blue green), wouldn't that be considered the normal/baseline?

[u/Scall123 → u/CEDoromal]

Why did I for some reason think you were talking about the blinking ports on a network switch, even though I know there's no blue? I spent minutes trying to understand until i reread it

It is too early me, where is coffee?

[u/Hush001 → u/RyRyShredder]

Thank you, I was thinking it might act as negative pressure. We're ambient electricity would be more likely to be pulled through our existing circuits. Maybe causing more electrical strikes?

[u/Electrical_Dog_9459]

Star Farts.

A reconstruction of the inner heliosphere for the last 6 months. This is a new method: The ambient solar wind at the inner boundary is produced from the near-Earth observations. The CMEs are still determined by coronagraph observations.

Damn aim bot

[u/theSh4yan]

Nice! Where did you get the data from?

[u/Carlos_Tellier]

How do we know what's happening on the other side of the sun?

[u/Busy_Yesterday9455 → u/Carlos_Tellier]

ESA (European Space Agency) has a satellite called solar orbiter there.

[u/Scall123 → u/Busy_Yesterday9455]

Smart. I have to assume they coordinated the launches so that they are directly opposite of eachother in their orbits? There are maybe more also?

[u/srandrews → u/Carlos_Tellier]

The downvoters also probably don't know of the various solar missions.

You have asked the proper question when confronted with content on social media made by some anonymous person.

[u/Carlos_Tellier → u/srandrews]

Thank you. I got some good answers

[u/Loadingexperience → u/Carlos_Tellier]

We have deep space sats orbiting on different orbits and we are able to see 360 around the sun.

[u/PeopleLikeUDisgustMe → u/Carlos_Tellier]

There is no "other side of the sun". You've never heard of the Flat Sun theory?

/s

[u/Downtown-Hospital-59 → u/PeopleLikeUDisgustMe]

Still 2 sides if it's flat.

[u/errezerotre → u/Downtown-Hospital-59]

The sun is an adimensional point. Just look at it!

[u/Super_Automatic]

Need to add "pew pew" sounds.

[u/Whatdoesgrassfeelike]

We got hit by a few if thats accurate.

[u/MaintenanceFlat4894]

Love python when I see it

[u/jackjackcake]

Hey that after effects of taco bell

[u/PooSham]

So what does it look like a normal year?

[u/Plutarcoelpillo]

Earth is like "Puff puff pass, dude."

[u/Character_Future_394]

Is ot over or not

[u/mawkishdave]

What is STA?

[u/youngdoughnut]

Not 2024, May.

[u/lookimawhale]

Sun coom

[u/RJ_Aadithyan]

Stupid me was wondering how the f did they send satellites to the far side of the sun and then I realised just leave a satellite in space and wait 6 months so the earth revolves to the other side

[u/Br0keGee]

Earth needs to stop being that black dot

[u/Metronovix]

Reminds me of Bloons

[u/Izual_Rebirth]

Looks like an infra red of my arse after a curry. Not gonna lie.
