Ain't that strange....

Post by mellie » Mon Sep 15, 2025 9:22 pm

So a colossal butterfly-shaped black 'hole' appears on the sun's surface 35 times wider than the Earth on September 11, and there's very few scientists talking about it, only two google news search references and well, they're amazing at presenting this as an opportunity for spectacular aurora's, and the promise of solar winds, and perhaps even a G2 magnetic storm, perhaps.

Has there ever been a spot this large, or larger seen on our sun before?



Some cultural beliefs also associate black butterflies with transformation, death, or bad luck , impending doom..depending on the specific cultural context.

Just two google news references?

I find this rather slack of our space agencies, some of us like to learn about space phenomena and enjoy a spectacular light show also.

From one of you links:
In the Southern Hemisphere, auroras may light up the skies over Antarctica, with a slim chance of visibility from Tasmania and southern New Zealand, according to the Met Office.
So nothing extraordinary happens in Australia.
Coronal holes can be very long-lived features, sometimes lasting for months, or even years. CH 78, for example, has been strobing the Earth with gusts of high speed solar wind roughly every four weeks since at least February.
