Click on the 06Aug13 burst I.D. in the scroll box for more details. Also something else that I find interesting is that the sun's magnetic poles are in the process of flipping. Which happens every solar cycle but still interesting none-the-less. I wonder how we are going to be affected with our solar maximum being as quiet as it is...


I know this is from nasa....

The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up

trendsetter37, thanks very much for this! Yes, just saw this highly significant development expressed (at 1:57 Ben Davidson's Suspicious0bservers YouTube page for today, ""4MIN News August 6, 2013...") just before I performed a search on the forum and found your posting. He also mentions, in the beginning of his video today, the sun's magnetic pole flip.

And, interestingly enough, we have not only a new moon (the start of a new cycle conducive to planting, or seeding) beginning today, but, also, for those who follow astrological transit data (the various solar system objects' current movement through the zodiacal constellations), we take note that the moon is currently transiting in the sign of Leo [the area in which we had the GRB (Gamma Ray Burst) with the "...highest-energy light ever detected from an object of its kind...detected on April 27. They designated the burst GRB 130427A" (source = SoTT article posting "Record-setting blast of gamma rays from a dying star")].

Talk about a wonderful confluence of events [taken together with the Perseid metor showers currently taking place, also, this makes for an awesome, out-of-this-world (no pun intended...mirth! :-), birthday extravaganza...Happy BDay to Fester & Starshine, also!]!!! ;D :P

For the benefit of those visiting this topic for the first time, the relevance of GRBs as discussed by the Cs, is brought out in this previously posted (5/03/13) SoTT comment titled, "Energy Inpourings":

"(Energy Inpourings) from higher densities...

Youtuber Suspicious0bservers has a great daily update on earth and solar activity, in addition to information related to Electric Universe theory.

Keeping an eye on earth/solar system changes via his page's daily reports has been one of my essential daily practices for some time now...

The first topic relayed in today's 3MIN news report is the information contained in this article, the significance of which is that since Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 130427A is the "...highest energy light we have ever detected from such an event on planet earth," if we hearken back to what the Cs have given us re: a long-lasting GRB that was picked up on 3/28/11, namely that "energy is pouring into your universe from higher densities," we can perhaps take this as a significant mile marker indicating the Wave's (see LKJ's Wave series) approach and increased influence both micro- and macro-cosmically...

Cassiopaean Experiment Session 9 April 2011:

"A: What do you think about the ”new” explosion 3 to 4 billion light years away? They think, that is.

{Here it seems the Cs are referring to recent news of an explosion that is going on in the center of a small galaxy said to be 3.8 billion light-years away. See: "Bizarre cosmic explosion observed" and "Cosmic Fireworks Erupt When Black Hole in Dragon's Belly Swallows Star"Astronomers say they have never seen anything this bright, long-lasting and variable before. Usually gamma-ray bursts mark the end of a massive star and emission from these events never lasts more than a few hours. But radiation from the blast continues to brighten and fade from the location a week after the explosion.” And: “Rather than the short-lived gamma-ray bursts typically associated with the death of a massive star -- most last no more than a few hours -- this explosion continues more than a week later to emanate pulses of high-energy cosmic radiation for an effect that's brighter, longer lasting, and more variable than scientists have ever seen.”}

Q: (L) Are you saying that it’s not as far away as they’re saying it is?

A: Yes.

Q: (L) What is it representing? What is it doing?

A: The wave has begun in earnest!

Q: (L) What do you mean?

A: Energy is pouring into your universe from higher densities."

Also, another fact of similar interest and importance, is that more and more frequent GRBs are occurring, one of which was detected today in the Sagittarius constellation and one of which occurred last Saturday in Leo..."

Interestingly, if I read and interpret the following correctly, the solar magnetic field flip-flop may also add another layer of significance to this picture by contributing an amplifying effect; since our sun also serves solar system inhabitants by providing a filtering mechanism for the incoming cosmic rays generated by phenomena like these GRBs:

"The sun is about to have a flipping magnetic field reversal":

We've been watching the progress on the WUWT solar reference page in this plot from Dr. Leif Svalgaard:

Image of 1966 Solar Polar Fields posted Inline here [_http://www.leif.org/research/Solar-Polar-Fields-1966-now.png (original inline image also attached below)]

Now, NASA has decided to call the flip (see video below). Something big is about to happen on the sun. According to measurements from NASA-supported observatories, the sun's vast magnetic field is about to flip.

"It looks like we're no more than 3 to 4 months away from a complete field reversal," says solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University. "This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system."

YouTube Video posted Inline here ["ScienceCasts: The Sun's Magnetic Field is About to Flip" (_http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=34gNgaME86Y)]

A new ScienceCasts video anticipates the reversal of the sun's global magnetic field.

The sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years. It happens at the peak of each solar cycle as the sun's inner magnetic dynamo re-organizes itself. The coming reversal will mark the midpoint of Solar Cycle 24. Half of 'Solar Max' will be behind us, with half yet to come.

Hoeksema is the director of Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory, one of the few observatories in the world that monitor the sun's polar magnetic fields. The poles are a herald of change. Just as Earth scientists watch our planet's polar regions for signs of climate change, solar physicists do the same thing for the sun. Magnetograms at Wilcox have been tracking the sun's polar magnetism since 1976, and they have recorded three grand reversals - with a fourth in the offing.

Image of Wilcox Solar Observatory posted inline here [_http://wso.stanford.edu/images/observatory/side_view.jpg (original inline image also attached below)]

Solar physicist Phil Scherrer, also at Stanford, describes what happens: "The sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero, and then emerge again with the opposite polarity. This is a regular part of the solar cycle."

A reversal of the sun's magnetic field is, literally, a big event. The domain of the sun's magnetic influence (also known as the "heliosphere") extends billions of kilometers beyond Pluto. Changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to the Voyager probes, on the doorstep of interstellar space.

When solar physicists talk about solar field reversals, their conversation often centers on the "current sheet." The current sheet is a sprawling surface jutting outward from the sun's equator where the sun's slowly-rotating magnetic field induces an electrical current. The current itself is small, only one ten-billionth of an amp per square meter (0.0000000001 amps/m2), but there's a lot of it: the amperage flows through a region 10,000 km thick and billions of kilometers wide. Electrically speaking, the entire heliosphere is organized around this enormous sheet.

During field reversals, the current sheet becomes very wavy. Scherrer likens the undulations to the seams on a baseball. As Earth orbits the sun, we dip in and out of the current sheet. Transitions from one side to another can stir up stormy space weather around our planet.

Image of "An artist’s concept of the heliospheric current sheet, which becomes more wavy when the sun’s magnetic field flips" posted inline here [_http://wso.stanford.edu/gifs/HCS.html (original inline image also attached below)]

Cosmic rays are also affected. These are high-energy particles accelerated to nearly light speed by supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy. Cosmic rays are a danger to astronauts and space probes, and some researchers say they might affect the cloudiness and climate of Earth. The current sheet acts as a barrier to cosmic rays, deflecting them as they attempt to penetrate the inner solar system. A wavy, crinkly sheet acts as a better shield against these energetic particles from deep space.

As the field reversal approaches, data from Wilcox show that the sun's two hemispheres are out of synch.

"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up," says Scherrer. "Soon, however, both poles will be reversed, and the second half of Solar Max will be underway."

When that happens, Hoeksema and Scherrer will share the news with their colleagues and the public. [bold font emphasis, mine]

Furthermore, we've just received information pertaining to so-called "Lazarus Comets" ("...formerly dead comets in the asteroid belt lying between Mars and Jupiter..." seemingly brought back to life and reignited from their dormancy by Jupiter's gravitational pull). The SoTT article on this is titled "Back from the dead: Jupiter's gravitational pull breathes life into 'graveyard' of comets that burned out millions of years ago" -- an encapsulation of the recent findings as posted in the article:

"A 'graveyard of comets' has been found by astronomers in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

And, to the surprise of astronomers, a number of comets in this graveyard have come back to life after being dormant for what could have been thousands or even millions of years. [bold emphasis, mine]

The findings, by a Colombian team, contradict the long-standing view that the main asteroid belt was once populated by thousands of comets which ultimately burned out as they aged. [bold emphasis, mine]

Over the past ten years researchers have found 12 active comets in the asteroid belt.

The mystery of the reactivated comets led the Colombian team to investigate their origin.

Their findings suggests that these comets came back to life after moving closer to the sun. "


It seems we are seeing and experiencing more and more signs pointing to the incoming approach of The Wave:

"Session 23 March 2013" :

A: All stimulated by the approaching wave.

Q: (L) Stimulated by the approaching wave? They sense something, is that what you're saying?

A: No, the wave and its electrical and magnetic components affect the entire solar system thus, the Earth and certain geological events...

"Session 28 May 2013" :

A: New world coming.

Q: (L) And who do we have with us tonight?

A: Miecekaii of Cassiopaean Future.

Q: (L) What did you mean by, "New world coming"?

A: You are in the transition and it will accelerate dramatically soon.

Q: (L) So you're saying that - as we have speculated ourselves - everything that used to be prophesied for the future, now we're in it; It's happening.

A: Yes. Isn't it grand?

Good find trendsetter37 :)

Thank you Carlise for the Suspicious0bserver channel on YT & thank you Leomhann for a concise breakdown :D

What sprung to mind was the storms on Venus, "sheets of rain" & fluctuating EM activity... the above, along with the Electric Universe Theory thread, HoM & C's transcripts tie in quite well.

I want to get HoM out now :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the summary Leòmhann.
I also found this article recently: http://www.weather.com/news/science/environment/climate-changing-faster-any-time-dinosaurs-20130805

Earth's climate is changing more quickly today than at any time since the extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, according to a new report by a pair of Stanford University researchers in the latest issue of the journal Science.

Althought they seem to be stuck to human caused global warming.

This one is interesting as well.
http://rt.com/news/solar-activity-cycle-maximum-114/

The current solar activity cycle, possibly the weakest in 100 years, is approaching its maximum. This may signal a future low period for the sun, probably not unlike the one that caused the so-called Little Ice Age from the mid-16th to mid-19th centuries.

“If this trend continues, there will be almost no spots in Cycle 25, and we might be going into another Maunder Minimum,” he said.

Maunder Minimum is a period between about 1645 and 1715, in which sunspots became extremely rare. In fact some 18th century astronomers believed sunspots to be a myth. The period coincides with the so-called Little Ice Age, a time when the climate became cold enough for the River Thames in London to freeze in winter. On the gloomier side, the colder summers and harsh winters sealed the fate of the Viking colonies in Greenland, as its population starved and died out.

While there is no certainty that the Little Ice Age was caused primarily by the decreased solar activity, a link does exist. If the next solar cycles are even quieter that the current one, and a cooling takes place, it may counteract the global warming trend over the next few decades.

A macro-metaphor for "zombie apocalypse", perhaps?
 
Interesting, as the Perseids will radiate near the Cassiopeia Constellation as well. :whistle:

Beautiful mornings for skywatchers; Perseid meteor shower warming up
Posted on August 3, 2013
_http://astrobob.areavoices.com/
The Perseid shower will peak on Monday morning August 12 with 60-80 meteors per hour expected from a dark location. After the Geminids of December, this is the best meteor shower of the year and the most easily watched. No need for a heavy parka in August. Just put on a sweater and relax in the recliner or hot tub as hot bits of Comet Swift-Tuttle race to oblivion overhead. We’ll have more on the shower and what to expect in a few days.

Like many meteor showers, it’s a good idea to watch for early arrivals a few days in advance. I saw a Perseid two nights ago and have heard reports of several nice fireballs. Characteristic of the shower, many meteors leave streaks or what astronomers call “trains”. These may look like dust trails but they’re glowing “tubes” of ionized air molecules.

The meteoroid – what a bit of comet grit is called before it becomes a meteor – plows into the air at many thousands of miles per hour, energizing the molecules. Upon return to their rest states, each gives off a brief flash of light contributing to the evanescent train.

Hello Cassiopaea :welcome:

He is, thanks for sharing this! :)

I'm quite amazed at what's happening cosmically at this time... and it's only the beginning. We do live in exciting times.

Thanks for sharing this.

It makes my regular weather channel look like the paint drying channel.
 
"Back from the dead: Jupiter's gravitational pull breathes life into 'graveyard' of comets that burned out millions of years ago"

FWIW, the full text for the paper of this news item can be found here:

The location of Asteroidal Belt Comets (ABCs), in a comet's evolutionary diagram: The Lazarus Comets

_http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/content/434/3/1821.full

Ignacio Ferrín★, Jorge Zuluaga and Pablo Cuartas

Accepted 2013 May 10.
Received 2013 May 4.
In original form 2013 February 21.

There is a group of newly recognized asteroids in the main belt that are exhibiting cometary characteristics. We will call them Asteroidal Belt Comets or ABCs for short. The surprising property of these objects is that their orbits are entirely asteroidal while their behaviour is entirely cometary, with Tisserand invariants larger than 3.0, while all Jupiter family comets have Tisserand invariants smaller than 3.0. An analysis of their orbital and physical properties has resulted in the following conclusion.

[...]

The asteroidal belt contains an enormous graveyard of ancient dormant and extinct rocky comets that turn on mostly after perihelion. The bodies are ancient because these objects were active long time ago and the ice layer has since then receded deep inside their bodies. The objects are dormant because their orbits have remained stable for millions of years, after which the ice layer has receded inside the body beyond reach of the thermal wave, making the object dormant. The comet is extinct if the radius of the body is less than the penetration of the thermal wave. Then, after many apparitions, all ices up to the centre of the body have been exhausted and no ice remains to be activated even if the perihelion distance were to decrease substantially. They are rocky because it has been shown that 133P has a density of 1.33 gm cm−3, greater than that of water ice.

[...]

The RR versus WB-AGE diagram defines the region of the graveyard of comets, those objects with 1000cy < WB-AGE. Five members belong to the graveyard, 107P, 133P, 2006 VW139, D/1891 W1 Blanpain and 3200 Phaeton. Thus, we propose that the asteroidal belt contains an enormous graveyard of ancient dormant and extinct rocky comets, that turn on (are rejuvenated), in response to a diminution of their perihelion distance.

Since the ABCs are objects rejuvenated from a graveyard of dormant and dead comets, we suggest to call them ‘The Lazarus Comets’.

NOTE ADDED IN PROOF

There is a new member of the ABC group, comet P/2012 T1 Panstarrs, located in the e vs a diagram at (a,e) = (3.04,0.21), bringing the total number of members to 12. The data on this object will be included in the Arxiv.org version of the manuscript.
