RADIATION STORM: The flux of high-energy protons around our planet soared to 1000 times normal at ~0300 UT on August 16th. The ongoing S2-class solar radiation storm is unusual because it was not triggered by a major flare on the Earth-facing side of the Sun. Instead, it appears to be the result of a backside explosion detected by SOHO coronagraphs on August 15th.

Above: NOAA satellites registered a sharp increase in the numbers of energetic solar protons around Earth on Aug. 16.

The planet Mars has heated up 30 degrees centegrade because it has no artificial reflective shield, and it has a less -dense atomosphere

the 30 increase in temperature had very little to do with the sun and more to do with standard weather practice, overcast holds heat in....from what I've read dust storms of the like are ever ocurring...and as far as a artificial shield again the implication of a 14000 ft shield is seriously flawed, as normal everyday storms on earth soar to over 40,000 ft on a regular basis, thus would mitigate any shield put forth by anyone...if such a shield exists it would be way above 45,000k ....immune from typical weather influences...the earth has plenty of built in protection for us here, and when satellites and communications go down you'll know that the sun has left it's mark...until then, the premise of sun influence is yet to be realized....

INTRIGUING ENERGETIC SOLAR EVENT OF 16 AUGUST

Shortly after 00:30 UTC on 16 August (8:30 pm EDT on 15 August), a
remarkably energetic and unusual solar event occurred that is worthy of an
AstroAlert notice.

At around 00:30 UTC, proton sensors onboard spacecraft began observing
an unusually energetic increase in the density of high energy protons.
Usually, such strong bursts of radiation are produced by strong solar flares.
But no obvious regions of activity capable of producing such strong bursts of
radiation were visible anywhere on the visible Sun.

At 23:30 UTC on 15 August (7:30 pm EDT on 15 August), the SOHO
spacecrafts LASCO instrument began imaging a rapid and bright full halo
coronal mass ejection (named a halo CME because of the ring of light that the
ejected mass forms around the Sun as it expands outward). Full halo CMEs are
the result of mass being ejected from the Sun either toward or directly away
from the Earth and are of high interest because of their potential Earthward
trajectory.

It was immediately reasoned that the energetic proton burst was most
likely associated with the bright and fast moving coronal mass ejection.
This particular CME was determined by SOHO science members to be travelling
outward along the plane of the sky at a speed as high as approximately 1,200
kilometers per second (4.3 million kilometers per hour or about 2.7 million
miles per hour). Average velocities for CMEs are around 400 to 600 km/sec, so
this disturbance was also somewhat unusual for its high outward velocity.

Part of the problem was in identifying the source of this activity. It
did not occur anywhere on the visible side of the Sun that we see from the
Earth, or spacecraft and ground-based telescopic instruments would have
observed it. Even the Japanese Yohkoh x-ray imaging spacecraft (which takes
regular images of the Sun in x-rays) did not appear to observe any clearly
obvious signs of x-ray brightenings on the solar limbs or slightly behind the
Sun. It therefore must have originated from somewhere fairly far behind the
Sun where the high-altitude x-ray signatures of activity would be occulted by
the Sun itself.

Evidence supporting this backside scenario came in the form of a
sequence of images taken by the SOHO spacecraft at around 23:48 UTC. The EIT
(extreme ultraviolet imaging telescope) onboard the SOHO spacecraft began to
observe an interesting brightening all around the limb of the Sun. Scientists
interpreted this limb brightening at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths as a
coronal wave that propagated from the site of the solar explosion on the far
side of the Sun to the limbs of the Sun that we can see from the Earth.
Coronal waves are fairly common with coronal mass ejection disturbances. But
coronal waves that travel such large distances are more rare.

Additional evidence became available through the science of
helioseismology where vibrations on the solar surface are used to determine
centers of sunspot activity on the far side of the Sun (much like
seismologists on the Earth can determine the location of an earthquake from
distant locations by measuring the vibrations they produce through the
Earth). Scientists associated with the SOHO spacecraft resolved an area of
increased activity in the southern solar hemisphere and on the opposite side
of the Sun. This area coincides nicely with the predicted location of a
potentially volatile sunspot group that was in the process of maturing when
it rotated behind the western limb of the Sun and out of view late on 08
August.

Scientists and space weather forecasters therefore concluded that this
energetic proton burst and the associated strong coronal mass ejection may
have been produced by a strong solar flare and coronal mass ejection on the
far side of the Sun within the sunspot group known as Region 9557.

Although this was a very interesting and exciting event for solar
scientists and space weather forecasters, what was perhaps the most
fascinating and puzzling aspect was the strength of the proton event and the
rapidity with which it reached the Earth.

Most solar flares that produce strong proton bursts take time to reach
the Earth. Protons are charged particles that can be accelerated to high
velocities. Higher energy protons travel faster than lower energy protons.
This particular event was associated with exceptionally high velocity
protons travelling at near relativistic velocities (near the speed of light).
Protons having energies greater than 100 million electron volts (MeV) were
detected in abundance during this event. The near Earth space environment
typically has fairly few protons that are energized to 100 MeV. But during
this event, protons with energies greater than 100 MeV increased in density
near the Earth to about 300 times normal background levels. It was
categorized as a major high energy proton event.

The problem (and puzzle) with this activity was that the source of the
proton enhancement was probably near the opposite side of the Sun. It is very
rare for protons to reach the Earth from so far behind the Sun and even rarer
for protons to reach the Earth so rapidly after an event occurs on the far
side of the Sun. In fact, such a prompt and intense proton event has
apparently never been observed from such a distant location near the other
side of the Sun.

Most energetic proton solar flares that have occurred behind the Sun
have resulted in mild enhancements of protons many hours after the event
occured with relatively few high energy protons at > 100 MeV. It usually
takes hours for the accelerated protons to diffuse through the solar
atmosphere to the point where the Sun's magnetic field can carry them to the
Earth (charged particles like protons move most easily along magnetic field
lines - they do not move easily across magnetic field lines).

So one of the big questions that has been raised is: how did this
particular solar event produce such an intense and rapid response at the
Earth? There will undoubtably be many scientific papers over the ensuing
years that attempt to address this question.

This energetic proton event produced serious degradations in space-based
images of the Sun and has affected spacecraft star-tracking cameras and other
imaging instruments on spacecraft by introducing streaks of light (caused by
high-energy protons impacting the imaging electronics) that can confuse the
instruments. Such energetic proton events can also produce permanant
degradation in the electrical generating efficiency of spacecraft solar
array panels. Other spacecraft anomalies can (and do) accompany such strong
proton events.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you are an avid aurora hunter), the
coronal mass ejection disturbance associated with this event is directed
outward and away from the Earth. We will therefore not see the direct effects
of this disturbance, although we will continue to suffer the effects of the
high energy proton event in space for several more days to come. It should be
noted that this event is harmless to life on Earth. The Earth's atmosphere
(ionosphere) shields us from the effects of the enhanced proton related space
radiation. And although the astronauts on the International Space Station
will observe slightly higher radiation levels during this event, the
radiation hazard is still considered low.

It will be interesting to monitor solar conditions over the next 4 to
8 days. Sunspot Region 9557 may rotate back into view around the east limb
of the Sun at that time. Whether it rotates into view as a potent sunspot
group capable of producing significant energetic solar flares is a question
that many will be asking. Activity from that region fo the Sun will be
closely monitored over the next 7 to 10 days, primarily in the form of
coronal mass ejection intensity and helioseismic signatures.

Solar observers may want to pay special attention to the southeast limb
of the Sun as Region 9557 begins to approach it over the next week.

Back in May 99, the solar wind stopped for two days. Actually, it dropped to 2% of its normal density and to half its normal speed. Although the solar wind varies greatly, this was the most drastic and longest-lasting decrease ever observed. NASA sat on the story for five months. Squished it flat. When NASA finally released that information, it was too old for newspapers to carry.

"One explanation: some particles can travle [sic] faster than the speed of light and these particles have arrived a year or two ahead of the bulk of the radiation from the GRB."

Let's see now... since the sun is about eight light-minutes from the earth, that means that the particles arrived here a year or two (less eight minutes) before they they even left the sun.

So much for the Nobel Prize this year....

you seem to know alot about alot...and that's cool, but the way I read it this is what the text was inferring....

It also suggests that a disturbance from outside our solar system has occurred or is starting to occur. The only know occurance powerful enough to blow the solar wind away is a gamma ray burst.

Now I have not referenced where a Gamma burst would come from to stop the solar wind...but it seems that was the writers opinon was from outside our solar system "an event"....the data looks authentic...and a change is evident in numbers....

A powerful similarity is the fact the gamma ray bursts tend to last about two days, the same amount of time that the solar wind stopped. However, where is the gamma radiation and all the rest of the radiation caused by a GRB? One explanation: some particles can travle faster than the speed of light and these particles have arrived a year or two ahead of the bulk of the radiation from the GRB.

I think something moving faster than the speed of light is interesting, and also think that the formula for figuring this would be interesting to look at too...

I remember in comic books david banner received a gamma radiation burst...and turn into the incredible hulk...when he got angry...

Let me quote from the web-page you cited.

If such particles did exist, however, Special Relativity implies that they could never be slowed down to velocities below the speed of light. The existence of such particles, called tachyons, has not been totally ruled out, but several experiments have tried, without luck to detect them. If they did exist, and they interacted with ordinary matter, it would give us the means to communicate with the past. Tachyons could literally be sent outwards, bounce off a tachyonic mirror, and return before they were sent. This in turn would give rise to a great many logical problems. For example, if you sent a message back in time that caused your grandfather to be killed before your father was conceived, then you would not be around to send the message that prevented your birth, so that you would be around to send the message, so that you wouldn't be around....etc.

"If such particles did exist, however, Special Relativity implies ... The existence of such particles, called tachyons, has not been totally ruled out, but several experiments have tried, without luck to detect them...

Translation: Either there isn't any such things as tachyons, or, if there is, no one has ever seen or even detected one yet.

That doesn't mean that "tachyons" are fraudulent physics -- by any means. What the physics theorists are saying is something like: "if there were such a thing as a particle whose space-time travel plans were a mirror image of the rest of the matter in the universe, boy, it sure would validate these hypotheses!"

And that's how theoretical physics works sometimes. If you have a hypothesis that requires a hitherto-unseen structure to make it work, then try to find that structure. Sometimes you will find it and it gives a boost to the hypothesis.

"Tachyons" make a lot of sense; if there were such a thing, our physics would be easier to comprehend. But, we simply don't have any evidence for them -- not yet.

"Tachyons could literally be sent outwards ... bounce off a tachyonic mirror..."

Again, maybe they could, maybe they couldn't. If you're postulating a particle for which you have no evidence, it's kind of silly to talk about a way to "send" them or to "bounce" them off a "mirror" since neither a "sending" methodology or a "tachyonic mirror" even exist -- at least, not yet.

I have taken three physics courses (assuming you don't count statics and dynamics as physics), and one of those was in high school in 1963. I am certainly not knowledgeable in any of the more esoteric physics studies.

But if you postulate a gamma ray burst from a source outside the solar system, the closest source that I know of, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 LY, or 2.54539 X 10 ^13 miles, away.

Given that gamma ray bursts, like every other EM-spectrum event I know of, has to follow the inverse-square rule for propagation intensity; I can't imagine any extra-solar system event other than a nearby sun's supernova that would cause a noticeable gamma ray burst in our neighborhood. And Proxima Centauri hasn't gone supernova yet.
