Datasets | Science On a Sphere
I think a little background on wavelengths and temperature estimates is in order:
When I counted pixels and did the math, I was absolutely *astounded* to find that my numbers were within 12KM of the 4800 figure, and the margin of error wasn't as bad as I feared. That simply blew my mind.
What an odd approach. It's almost as if this is personal for you. Just seems ... weird.
Again, no one has any idea on how this image was created.
Let alone tried to recreate it with more recent data.
Until that happens, there is nothing to talk about.
A reference to what the NASA scientists are actually saying is in order. They are saying that it is millions of degrees. Period.
No, I'm saying it works perfectly, and it's sensitive to a *range* of various types of plasma, at various temperatures, including the photosphere, the chromosphere and the "transition region".Are you saying that the SDO satellite is faulty, that it is really not measuring millions of degrees K?
Nope. The captions are correct and the images are stunning. The only thing I'm saying is that you seem to not understand the importance of the 304A wavelength as it relates to solar physics research. It's not the 'same as' the iron ion wavelengths in terms of what it shows us.Are you saying that everyone working with the SDO are all wrong, or printing fake data in the captions of images?
You keep avoiding the key aspects of *solar physics* by interjecting ridiculous statements into the conversation.Just like steam coming from the middle of a guys head.
Well, solar physics is my passion, and the falsification of mainstream solar theory is probably a once in a lifetime event. I do find it to be an 'exciting' time in solar physics, and it's something I've personally been interested in, and I've studied my entire adult life.
I suppose I do feel a sense of personal vindication after all the personal attacks that I've put up with over the past 7 or 8 years. It's nice to see the mainstream squirm for awhile.
Twice in the past two years, SDO has falsified the standard solar model. The fallout began immediately as SDO's first light images demonstrated that the magnetic ropes actually originate and are visible about 4800KM *beneath* the chromosphere/photosphere boundary, an observation that is "impossible" in standard theory.

More damning yet, the HMI equipment on SDO has recently been used to falsify yet another *key* and highly important prediction of standard solar theory, specifically the speed of convection inside the sun. It turns out that convection occurs at only about 1 percent of predicted value. Two key aspects of standard solar theory are decimated by these discoveries. Without fast convection to stir things up, there's no way that Iron and Nickel will "float" and stay mixed into in a wispy thin hydrogen atmosphere and remain mixed together. Rather the heavier elements will surely sink with only 1 percent of predicted convection. The second major blow relates to the energy state of the atmosphere:
Weak solar convection approximately 100 times slower than scientists had previously projected | Watts Up With That?
Not only do these new findings by SDO take away the ability to explain the suspension of heavy elements in the atmosphere, these observations blow huge holes in the power source that the mainstream uses to explain solar flares and solar atmospheric activity. Since mainstream theory has now been falsified, what's next?

when I read post like these I'm dumbfounded at what an idiot I am, because I haven't a clue what your talking about.........which is why I'm not a big fan of jeopardy......."I'll take solar atmospheric activity for 100 Alex"
Have you studied this at university or on your own?
I wasn't really referring to this thread or even this website so much as some of the astronomy oriented websites that I've visited over the past 8 years. I expected the ideas that I presented to be attacked, but the fixation on the individual was a bit "over the top" at times.Personal attacks over what? The content is benign regarding anything personal.
I've been "personally invested" in solar satellite image research for over 20 years since I started studying the Yohkoh images. It's more of a "personal passion" of mine than anything else. The same is true of astronomy. It's really just a life long passion that dates back the Apollo missions and moon landings, which set off a life long interest in astronomy.I can't figure out why you're so personally vested in this. Have your own publications been rejected by editors? Do you have money riding on this? What's the deal?

No, that's not what they said.
They said that there were *two* wavelengths that were important and *two* temperature ranges under discussion.
In this case, the relevant Jeopardy question is "Why isn't the "transition region" (the base of the bright green horizon around the dark opaque disk of the sun) located in the orange 304A chromosphere as "predicted" by mainstream theory?"
That image was actually designed to "test" of the location of the transition region in relationship to the chromosphere in orange. According to mainstream theory, the bright green transition region is "supposed" to be located in the orange flaming 304A ring, near the outer edge of the chromosphere. Instead, the "transition region" is actually located about 4800KM *under* the orange chromosphere, as I predicted back in 2005.
Yes, it is:
"A full-disk multiwavelength extreme ultraviolet image of the sun taken by SDO on March 30, 2010. False colors trace different gas temperatures. Reds are relatively cool (~60,000 K); blues and greens are hotter (> 1,000,000 K)."

That is the caption for the picture you keep showing. The lines you are pointing too are green. Blues and greens are hotter than 1 million C.
They said that blue and green are above 1 million degrees C. The green in your images is above 1 million degrees C.
Because of processing artifacts, which has already been explained to you.
The transition region where the limbe goes from opaque disk, to a bright horizon above the disk can be found in *every single* iron ion image ever made of the sun's limb from *every* spacecraft that has imaged the sun. The color of the horizon is arbitrary. Again, you did *NOT* pick an image that included any reference to the chromosophere, so there's nothing to compare it to.
I zoomed in and counted the pixels from the darkened limb to the base of the orange chromosphere from all around the disk and I averaged them.How did you determine that the base of the green horizon is where you claim it is?
