Whoa. The scale of this thing.
That blast wave radiating away from the flare location is impressive. Esp. when you think about the size of the Earth in comparison.
It’s so very near that we live so close to a star and can watch its behaviour and activity.
A star and it’s just right there!

Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

Clair Kemlo snapped the first pic up the road at Flathead lake. We have much less drama here with all the artificial light in town as shown in the second photo. Still, it’s a good showing!

I had planned to make the chickpea soup @Goodport posted the other day, but time and energy were short today. I had some leeks and potatoes that needed to be used, so voila: a basic potato leek soup. It made vats of soup, so I’ll be freezing at least three meals’ worth. DD loved it, always a plus!

Good morning on a cold but sunny Saturday. Frost is everywhere, which reminds me to be grateful we have a garage. 🚙❄️🩵

Imperious Duchess Daisy is ensconced in a fleece throw which is now her cold weather bed. The look says it all “Don’t you dare mess with my bedding, human”. #Caturday

We had an appointment in Missoula this afternoon. The light, clouds, and mountains made the trip worth the effort. Thank you to DD for taking the pics while I drove.

Good evening to all. 💫✨🌟. Several kinds of weather push through daily, & the light is shifting southward. In this new week, may we each find sustenance in our relationships & the love in our hearts. It will be busy & disappointments are likely, but we can show love and kindness whatever happens. 🩵🤍

G’Morning. 👋🏼☕️Daisy is in hiding, still sleeping on this All Saints Day #Caturday. Here, instead, is a miracle: this violet has survived in my care for over four years, and recently put forth eight blooms simultaneously. Apparently, like me, she has found her true home. November blessings to all. 💜💚💜

Happy Halloween, Samhain, or Friday. These are the Mission Mountains just above Mission today. Sometimes I just have to stop and grab a picture. I hope you are doing well. It’s been a week! 🍂🧡🎃🤎🍁

The snow line moves ever closer to the valley floor. A brief snow squall during recess had all the kiddos squealing with joy. I enjoyed the feeling of wet snowflakes landing on my face. Since snow by Halloween is common here, costumes are planned to accommodate jackets & snow pants. G’Night. ✨

How is everyone holding up? This is me: already tired tomorrow (and maybe the next 100 days?).
