My THORnews Solar Science tells me we have a great chance to see a Solar Flare & a Coronal Mass Ejection with Earth directed components. Expect weird weather & wile mood swings. Also, Suntay = A THORnews Sun video on a Thursday. It might even turn into a regular thing. 

God bless everyone,

SOLAR WIND STREAM GRAZES EARTH: Solar wind spilling from a northern hole in the sun's atmosphere is grazing Earth's magnetic field today. The indirect pressure of the gaseous material sparking intermittent auroras around the Arctic Circle, while stopping short of full-fledged geomagnetic storms. Free: Aurora Alerts

GROWING SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR2699 continues to grow, more than doubling in size since it appeared three days ago. This movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows recent developments:

The sunspot is crackling with B- and C-class solar flares--relatively minor eruptions having little effect on Earth. If the growth of AR2699 continues apace, stronger flares are possible as the active region turns to face Earth. Free: Solar Flare Alerts

With two primary dark cores larger than Earth and a scattering of moon-sized magnetic condensations stretching more than 100,000 km across the surface of the sun, AR2699 is an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. Got images? Submit them here.

ROARING BEAVER APPEARS IN NORTHERN LIGHTS: Seeing animals in clouds is a physiological phenomenon called pareidolia. On Feb. 6th, Markus Varik of Tromsø, Norway, experienced auroradolia. "We saw a roaring beaver in the Northern Lights!" he says.
'Things got even stranger after that. "The shapes we witnessed were unlike anything I have ever seen before as an aurora tour guide," says Varik. "For about 30 minutes the lights transformed from a beaver to Mother Theresa and many other things. Our guests were as happy as can be!"

Warning: Auroradolia may be contagious
