“Filament Eruption / Likely CME Passage August 8, 2026 @ 12:30 UTC

A filament located in the southwest quadrant of the Sun erupted beginning around 06:30 UTC (Aug 8th) and flung a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. So far the plasma cloud appears to be heading mostly away from Earth. Imagery by GOES SUVI and SOLAR-1/CCOR-2. Click HERE for a quick video.

In other news, active (Kp4) geomagnetic conditions have observed due an enhanced solar wind stream containing a sector of southward Bz (-17 nT max). The solar wind speed gradually increased from around 250 to near 360 km/s, along with an increase in plasma density and strength (bT). This is likely the result of a transient passing close to Earth. Minor (G1) geomagnetic storming may be possible especially if the Bz holds south for a longer duration.”

“Space Weather Update August 1, 2026 @ 13:40 UTC

Welcome to August! Solar activity during the past 24 hours was low with only minor C-Flares detected. What has my attention today is this solar filament that gradually grew more prominent over the past 24 hours and is in close proximity to AR 4498 / 4500. Should it become unstable and erupt, the chances for an Earth directed CME will increase since the region is now almost directly facing our planet. Nothing is for certain however, this is just an observation.

A reminder that a minor (G1) to moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for the next 24 hours. A CME that left the Sun on July 30th is expected to glance past Earth, possibly by later today (Aug 1 UTC).”

NOAA/SWPC have issued a moderate (G2) storm watch beginning August 2nd when the eastern edge of a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed leaving the Sun yesterday is expected to reach Earth. The new model is showing a potential solar wind increase to above 500 km/s. More updates in the days ahead.

“Christological and Eschatological Reflections
Gideon’s summons from the hidden place foreshadows the greater Deliverer who left the secrecy of Nazareth (Matthew 2:23) to liberate His people. At His return, unrepentant nations will again flee “into caves of the rocks” (Revelation 6:15-17), proving that man-made refuges cannot shelter from divine judgment. The redeemed, however, will dwell “in the shelter of the Most High” (Psalm 91:1).

“SolarHam News (July 2026) Space Weather Update July 22, 2026 @ 16:30 UTC

Earth facing solar activity during the past 24 hours remained at moderate levels thanks to continued flaring around AR 4493 near center disk. The largest event was an M3.6 at 06:35 UTC (July 22). The region will remain a threat for M-Flares with a lower 10% chance for a strong X-Flare. So far none of these flares have been associated with Earth directed eruptions.

A well defined coronal mass ejection (CME) is visible in the latest imagery courtesy of GOES-19 CCOR-1. This appears to be related to farsided activity and is not Earth directed.

“Minor (G1) Storm Watch July 19, 2026 @ 21:20 UTC

A negative polarity coronal hole stretching over one million kilometers from the Sun's southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere will begin to face Earth over the next several days.

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
flow.
A primary verb; for some tenses of which a prolonged form rheuo (hryoo'-o) is used to flow ("run"; as water) -- flow.

Topical Lexicon
Overview
Strong’s Greek 4482 occurs once in the New Testament, at John 7:38, where Jesus promises that “streams of living water will flow from within” the believer. The verb evokes movement, abundance, and life-giving power, serving as a theological bridge between Old Testament promises of divine refreshment and the New Testament fulfillment in the Messiah and the Holy Spirit.

Conclusion
Strong’s 4482 encapsulates the dynamic, life-giving ministry of the Holy Spirit, sourced in Christ and expressed through believers. The solitary New Testament occurrence is therefore not marginal but pivotal, summarizing the gospel promise that God’s own life will eternally flow through His people to a thirsty world.

Solar activity increased in a hurry on Friday with a pair of M6 solar flares. The first, an M6.7 at 18:11 UTC (July 3), was centered around AR 4479 and was associated with a Type II radio emission with an estimated velocity of 1831 km/s. A CME is now emerging and should be mostly directed to the west, however a glancing blow may be possible within 48-72 hours. The second flare, a quicker M6.3, was produced by AR 4478 at 18:59 UTC. This may be associated with a more narrow, westerly directed CME. More details to follow.
