It's a great way to visualize details on the surface of the sun.

Prominences are bright, tube-like structures of plasma raised off the surface of the Sun that can be observed against the of space. Filaments are tubes of plasma that appear as dark strings against the bright backdrop of the sun. What are Sunspots?- Sunspots arise from magnetic disturbances that change how the outer layers of the sun regionally mix, uncovering cooler spots that appear darker on the surface of the sun. What is a normal amount of sunspots? 200 sunspots are a crazy amount! When least active, there are whole years without a single sunspot! The sun goes through 11 year cycles of activity. The peak of that activity is predicted to be next year (2025), so currently we are in a very active period. What is the highest number of sunspots recorded on the sun?

So, I was not 100% certain where that flare came from are you and I were talking about a few days ago? I don't think it was 3986. The eruption look like it was a little bit lower? It must have been 3987? But it didn't leave much of a mark for such a large eruption?
@PinoAstro5 сағат бұрын
@davidt.6666 Part of the issue with the current system is that active regions don't get numbered until they rotate to the front side. I haven't seen anyone talk about the origin of that eruption. It's also difficult to even guess at it. I still think it was more of a prominence eruption, rather than a flare (associated with an active region). AR3986 would have been the largest region in the general area...

You use that filter for emission nebula. In the video you are commenting on, this is what's called an H-alpha solar telescope. It uses something called an etelon to only allow for a certain wavelength of light through (656nm), so it functions like a super narrow band filter.

@michaelwzdanowicz5463 Hi Michael, no, I believe this was a prominence eruption, not even a M-class solar flare. (It looks more impressive due its location on the sun's edge, or limb). The solar flare that caused the Carrington Event (that you're talking about) was stronger than any known solar flare since we've started measuring flare strength. The largest we've observed is thought to be an X33 flare (X-class flare). Carrington was even more energetic than that.

No offense but I'm curious about the telescope in that manner as you've clearly proven how damn good it is at viewing the sun, excellent work in that regard.

@illdren I post many different types of videos, and I always try to make it clear where they come from. Many are from NASA, not my own telescopes. The Seestar S50 is not good for planets, but it is good for the sun, moon and large deep sky objects (DSO) like galaxies and nalebula. There is no one, perfect telescope for everything. I use an 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (SCT) for my shots of planets. You need a telescope with a long focal length, which give them better ability to magnify. When you say to take images of things far away, you're probably talking about magnification or field of view (fov). Some things that are far away are huge... Seestar S50 can take nice pictures of Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.5 million light-years away, but it is ~400 thousand light years in size, this is like 2 degrees of the sky. The sun is only 0.86 million miles in diameter, and it's ~92 million miles away, that's only 1 degree of the sky.

It would be measured by momentum due to the object or mass still moving causing it to be a vector. Velocity is the speed in what direction it is going in. Thats how you can tell when it's bullshit when you see youtubers talk about things they can't understand mathematically themselves or doesn't have any background in metallurgy, chemistry, etc.

@kaitlynengelland2723 I'm interested to know your background? I'm an Engineer with a PhD, but I try not to use too much jargon, to make it accessible. Sounds like you should make videos! I'd watch!

NSO/GONG in Hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha or Ha, 656nm). This is a visible wavelength in the red spectrum, which an excited form of hydrogen emits. It's a great way to visualize details on the surface of the sun. What are we looking for?: Prominences, filaments, and sunspots, which are associated with active regions, and those can produce solar flares! Prominences are bright, tube-like structures of plasma raised off the surface of the Sun that can be observed against the of space. Filaments are tubes of plasma that appear as dark strings against the bright backdrop of the sun. What are Sunspots?- Sunspots arise from magnetic disturbances that change how the outer layers of the sun regionally mix, uncovering cooler spots that appear darker on the surface of the sun. What is a normal amount of sunspots? 200 sunspots are a crazy amount! When least active, there are whole years without a single sunspot! The sun goes through 11 year cycles of activity. The peak of that activity is predicted to be next year (2025), so currently we are in a very active period. What is the highest number of sunspots recorded on the sun? The highest number of sunspots recorded on the sun was 382 on August 10, 2024. The second most was 337, the day before, on August 9, 2024. Before that it was 285, observed in March 1958. Another previous record high was 244, recorded in July 2001. What's the point?- Sunspots and sunspot clusters are part of solar active regions (AR). We track active regions on the sun because they can cause solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME). Particles ejected from CMEs can hit the Earth several hours later (generally 15-18h) and cause aurora, and large solar storms can do damage to electronics, our electrical grid and satellites. Plus, sunspots look cool, and they are huge! Some can be several times the size of Earth. Why should I care?- The most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, called the Carrington Event, peaked on 1-2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10. It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. A geomagnetic storm of this magnitude occurring today has the potential to cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts, damage and human deaths due to extended cuts of the electrical power grid. A Carrington-class event today would result in between $0.6 and $2.6 trillion in damages to the U.S. alone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event
