Auroras - The Alfvén waves stream along the equator has charged particles (electrons and protons) that collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere activated by solar phenomenon? - I wonder if cheering on the Aurora Photographers is a bit like cheering on the Storm Chasers without thinking about what the Hurricane they are chasing is actually going to be doing. Do we know enough about this stuff?
That is a fantastic idea. There are a lot of wonderful people in the hobby. Lots of people are in amateur radio who have made community service a huge part of their professional lives.
I don´t think so. Space is just too huge. We are 8 minutes away from sun. The very next star is about 4 years away. Whatever that star does shouldn´t impact us much. Also, every star is wrapped in it´s own bubble (~1year) outside of which it doesn´t impact anything. You´d need a supernova, and a pretty close one at that [inside a few dozn years) to really do something on earth.
@@AdamKane-dw8hh In a perfect vacuum, but even then, the intensity drops with the square of distance. 4 lightyears is...far, compared to the size of the source. Also, inside the galactic plane, where we are, the space between stars is anything but a perfect vacuum. It would be an ok-ish laboratory vacuum, but over long distances, there is a lot of dust and gas in the way to absorb and scatter radiation. Then we have the matter of electric and magnetic fields. Most of the "solar wind" is charged particles, and those are influenced by these fields, they push against the interstellar medium to create the "bubble" of a star, until they are to weak to push further, and accumulate in the "bow shock" that Voyager2 just passed. The space outside of that is largely unaffected by the star, except, of course, for the electromagnetic radiation (light, heat, radio waves) it emits. But I think the main factor is just that stars may be huge, but they are tiny in comparison to the distances in space. Even a really great floodlight doesn´t hurt your eyes if you are far enough away.
@AdamKane-dw8hh inverse square rule something or another the energy is still there but it gets less and less concentrated the farther from the source you get
Of course! Your shots are amazing. Thanks for being out there in the field helping us all know when and where aurora is visible. You help to make this community as valuable as it is!
we had aurora in VA..... seeing smoke rings travel i wonder how random they travel.... but strong..... like a bullet in space. Thanks for all the work!

I keep saying that auroras are beautiful, but we are looking at our planet getting bombarded with dangerous radiation! 👨🌾🌲⛰🇺🇸✝️
well, we kind of watch our planet defend us... ;-) @@robertfitch310
Dr.Tamitha skov i lisn to shortwave Saturday i lisn to the Beatles in the 41meter band 😅😅😅
LMAO. That's not supposed to happen!
Dr. T always brightings my day some pun intended 😁
Someone on a drum kit, please give this person a drum fill followed by a symbol smash…😂
Cheeky! Thanks for the smile!
Thank you for all that you do!.........73..........."WE8HNT"
Dr.Tamitha skov my hobbies are painting pictures 🖼 and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my ham license 😅😅😅
HAM RADIO IS A SCAM; BUNCH OF LOW LIFE SCUMBAGS ON IT NOW
That is a fantastic idea. There are a lot of wonderful people in the hobby. Lots of people are in amateur radio who have made community service a huge part of their professional lives.
i did catch a aurora this summer in mid new hampshire. nice green..thank you tamitha,for what you bring us. be well!
Affecting core of earth (!!look!!!)
It is FAST PARTICLE STREAM RADIATION.
Solar wind is a complete misnomer.
electrically charged particles
we need some ultra dopple X flares okay you know what i mean :)
Dr.Tamitha skov your utube videos are awesome my friend 😅😅😊
Much thanks for this!
Good thing that the sun belongs to the empire it shoot like a storm trooper.
LMAO!
The first true lady of space weather, thank you for what you do ❤❤❤
Shortwave listening sure has been interesting. Even 10 meters was open.
Thanks Dr. Tamitha, amazing information and updates.
You're so beautiful as usual, ❤
Gotta Love Dr. Tamitha Skov, The Space Weather Woman! ❤🌎🌏🌍🌞.
Love ❤️. Shared ❤️. Saved on UA-cam ❤️.
Aww! Much thanks for those kind words!
Thanks Dr.Skov! Beautiful Auroras!😊
Thanks for this excellent video, Dr. Skov! - Tim N3YQV
Guys
I’ve got an iPhone 11 Pro Max
What’s the best setting to use !!???
❤😊❤
Was just thinking if you could update us thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent as always^^
Thank you Tamitha super report, Stereo A our not so helpful monitor ❤✨
Love the aurora pics. ;)
Dr.Tamitha skov iam going to san Diego CALIFORNIA in October 2023 19-23 for five days with my cousin and his wife we are flying there 😅😅
Nice! That is a perfect time to travel to California. Very nice weather!
Yay Dr. T!😃When are you gonna get your Extra??? 😎
Cell phones misbehavin😱
Thank you so much Dr. Skov!
Wait it’s spitting out Mac chips
Come on girl I'm Jonesing
you are adorable
should you become a model ?
ya.
your voice maches
Isn’t she though! I can’t control my lust filled thoughts when I watch, but I do love the science!👨🌾⛰🌲🇺🇸
@@robertfitch310grow up
Thanks for your candor and the flattering sentiment.@@robertfitch310
Aww.. thats very sweet to say. However, I am quite content with my current day job.
@@lucky43113 Thanks for having my back! Much appreciated!
Nice, thank you
Great show. Very interesting. Can earth get hit by cme's and flares from other larger sun's?
Follow up question on the moon. Can a full moon refract cme's and flares from the sun and intensify them towards earth?
I don´t think so. Space is just too huge. We are 8 minutes away from sun. The very next star is about 4 years away. Whatever that star does shouldn´t impact us much. Also, every star is wrapped in it´s own bubble (~1year) outside of which it doesn´t impact anything.

@@paavobergmann4920 wouldn't energy remain energy unless it is absorbed by a mass inbetween

Nice work Les Ladbrook
Northern Minnesota must have been cloudy that night. You do very well in keeping us up to date on the solar flares. 😎💗
Where in Maine did they see the aurora
Millinocket. You can see the original posts by clicking on the appropriate link in the description.
Is there any chance the space weather caused the StarLink outage today?
What time was the Starlink outage?
About 5 or 6 hours ago.
5:30 Pacific was when I was asked about it.@@TamithaSkov
Hard to say without Starlink giving us more details on the issue. I cannot, however, rule out space weather in good faith.
Thanks Tamitha
🌎⚡️☀️🙌🌛⚡️🌌
Thank you Dr. Skov😎
✌️
Always nice to see you here!
@@TamithaSkov 😎
As always, the most beautiful sunshine on youtube always comes from this location.
Very kind of you to say!
Aurora is ozone broken down!!!
Thank you so much Dr. Skov. ❤🤍💙👍👍
