  • These CME's can be spectacular

    In coming to love the activity in front of the C3 camera at the centre of the solar system, it demonstrates far more activity and effects than previously considered.

    With familiarity, it becomes easy to appreciate why certain CME's produce brilliant Auroras including one which occurred today (6th September) and will be felt soon around the poles and lower latitudes.

    A blast of radiation in the direction of the Earth is registered as omni-directional within the C3 camera, whereas blasts in other directions appear as jets to either side of the central Sun.

    It turns out that the solar flare was a massive event on the far side of the Sun and therefore acting away from the Earth and towards Venus-

    Venus is taking a direct hit as that planet is on the opposite side of the solar system to the Earth.

    Lots to discuss as our sister planet has different dynamical traits to our planet.

    Venus will take a direct hit from that CME in being the opposite side of the Sun presently as well as being on the opposite side of the solar system-

    As Venus has only residual rotation, it has no magnetic field to deflect the incoming deluge of radiation so would create a hot flow anomaly and what is called a bowshock with no protection for that planet's atmosphere-

    Lots of issues to consider by making planetary comparisons between our home planet and sister planet as Venus has no plate tectonics but a lot of volcanism, no spherical deviation between equatorial and polar diameters, no seasons and all related to
    dynamics.

    Everything is in flux and all connected and that is what makes solar system research such a joy to engage in.
