Magnificent M-class Eruption on Aug. 24th

Space Weather News for August 24, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

MAGNIFICENT SOLAR FLARE: A visually beautiful solar flare erupted from
the east limb of the sun today. Extreme UV radiation briefly ionized
the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere; otherwise, our planet was not
in the line of fire. The responsible sunspot will turn toward Earth
in the days ahead, boosting chances for geoeffective solar activity as
the week unfolds. Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and more
information.

DID YOU MISS THE FLARE? Next time get a phone call. Solar flare
alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and

Solar Activity Picks Up

Space Weather News for August 22, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar activity has been low for weeks. A new sunspot
turning toward Earth could change that. AR2149 announced itself on
August 21st with a M3-class solar flare that sent waves of ionization
coursing through Earth's upper atmosphere. The active region appears
capable of more eruptions in the days ahead. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for updates.

MORNING SKY SHOW: Set your alarm for dawn--again. The crescent Moon
is joining Jupiter and Venus to form a bright triangle in the early
morning sky. The best time to look is August 23rd about 30 to 45
minutes before local sunrise. Photos of the encounter may be found at
http://spaceweathergallery.com

CME Strike Produces Auroras Seen from Space

Space Weather News for August 20, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

A minor CME hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of
August 19th. At first, the weak impact did little to stir geomagnetic
activity, but a geomagnetic storm has since developed as Earth passes
through the wake of the solar storm cloud. Astronauts on the ISS
report a gorgeous display of auroras seen from Earth orbit. Updates
and photos may be found on http://spaceweather.com

AURORA ALERTS are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)

[BAA-ebulletin 00812] Large storms detected on Uranus: Observations required.

======================================================================
BAA electronic bulletin
======================================================================

A series of large storms has erupted in the upper atmosphere of Uranus.

Images taken by Imke de Pater (UC Berkeley), Larry Sromovosky and Pat Fry (U. Wisconsin), and Heidi Hammel (AURA).  They used the near-infrared  camera NIRC2 at a wavelength of 1.6 micron, with adaptive optics on the 10-m Keck II telescope show a series of storms along with a very large one in the planet's northern hemisphere.

The storms were detected on 5th-6th August, and the Saturn Section would like to ask all observers with large telescopes (200mm or more) to make regular observations of the planet to see if these storms can be observed with amateur telescopes.  Images taken in the near-infrared would be particularly helpful.

Uranus has a reputation for being a bland world, but the recent observations show the planet is capable of producing vast, powerful storms.  Smaller storms have been observed before, but the latests outbreak appears to be the largest.

Uranus is currently located in the constellation of Pisces and culminates at around 0255UT making it a late evening/early morning object.  It's exact position can be found in the BAA Handbook.  Please send any observations you make the Saturn Section.

Historic Comet Rendezvous Today

Space Weather News for August 6, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

ROSETTA COMET: The European Space Agency's Rosetta probe has reached 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and is maneuvering to go into orbit around the comet's core. This is an historic event. After Rosetta goes into orbit, it will follow the comet around the sun, observing its activity from point-blank range. Moreover, in November, Rosetta will drop a lander onto the comet's strange surface. Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and links to a live webcast of today's rendezvous.

[BAA-ebulletin 00811] PERSEID METEORS SHOW INCREASING ACTIVITY

======================================================================
BAA electronic bulletin
======================================================================
PERSEID METEORS SHOW INCREASING ACTIVITY

With many places experiencing clear nights over the past few days, observers
across the British Isles have reported increasing Perseid meteor activity.
The Perseids are one of the most reliable showers of the annual meteor
calendar, producing an abundance of fast, bright meteors. Indeed there have
been a number of lovely Perseid fireballs reported already this year.
        With full Moon on August 10, there will be considerable interference
by moonlight this year. Bright moonlight has an adverse effect on meteor
observing, and for a few days to either side of Full Moon, lunar glare
swamps many of the fainter meteors, reducing the total number of meteors
seen. Fortunately, the Perseid shower contains a high percentage of bright
meteors so there should still be a good show this month.
        It should be remembered that a number of other, lesser showers are
also active at this time of year, such as the Delta and Iota Aquarids and
Alpha Capricornids, so there is plenty of interest for the meteor observer.
For details of all activity at this time, please refer to the Meteor Diary
in the 2014 BAA Handbook.
        Video meteor systems recorded the first Perseid meteors in mid-July
and the shower will continue to be active until late August. The shower's
activity displays a marked 'kick' around August 8-9 and steadily increasing
observed rates may be expected from now until the peak, which is expected at
around 00h UT (01h BST) on August 13, coinciding with a waning gibbous Moon
in Pisces this year. Peak rates are likely during the night of August 12-13,
particularly in the pre-dawn hours of August 13.
        Observers watching after midnight on August 12-13 should experience
increasing activity towards dawn, as the shower radiant at RA 03h 13m,  Dec.
+58° (near the Double Cluster, on the Perseus-Cassiopeia border) climbs
higher in the eastern sky. Visual observers may minimize the effects of
moonlight by positioning themselves so the Moon is behind them and hidden
behind a wall or other suitable obstruction.
        It is hoped that, weather permitting, observers will cover Perseid
activity on the nights leading up to maximum, particularly on August 10-11
and 11-12 and also after the peak on August 13-14. The Perseids are an ideal
target for digital imaging due to the relative abundance of bright meteors.
The best observed rates are usually noted when the Perseid radiant is
highest in the sky during the pre-dawn hours, but even in early evening the
radiant is already at quite a favourable elevation above the horizon.
Observations in recent years have revealed noticeable variations in activity
from year to year and we shall just have to wait and see what is in store
for us in 2014.
        The BAA's visual meteor report forms, available as downloads in both
pdf and Excel formats, enable observers to record the details of each meteor
seen. These include: time of appearance (UT); apparent magnitude
(brightness); type (shower member, or random, 'background' sporadic);
constellation in which seen; presence and duration of any persistent train.
Other notes may mention flaring or fragmentation in flight, or marked
colour. Watches should ideally be of an hour's duration or longer (in
multiples of 30 minutes). Observers are reminded to carefully record the
observing conditions and the stellar limiting magnitude.
        By whatever means you observe the Perseids this year, please submit
your results to the BAA Meteor Section via meteor@britastro.org.

Meteor Activity Intensifies

Space Weather News for August 4, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

METEOR ACTIVITY: Meteor activity is increasing as Earth plunges deeper into the debris stream of Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Last night alone, NASA cameras recorded more than a dozen Perseid fireballs along with one sporadic bolide (exploding meteor) that might have dropped pieces of itself over the southeastern USA.   Visit http://spaceweather.com for video and observing tips.

CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2130 is directly facing Earth and it has a complex 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong flares.  X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
