Solar activity

I find it odd with this after all activities, and then this corona hole and it seems like its a lot of mass to push sins earlyer

This sunspot looks interesting, Does it have a delta?

This looks scary. Now, SOHO is saying it won't hit Earth, but that is a cataclysmic amount of plasma that erupted this morning.

New CME from m1.5 flare

I hope that this region brings us some sun-pyrotechnics-show at new years eve, if i´m not mistaken this bright loop would correspond to newly named AR 3536

This one is growing fast and has a delta. I think that makes it beta-gamma-delta

Has anyone been paying attention to the incoming region? Sure looks like a broad area with many areas of interest. Flaring already.

Will they again be wrong? in December 2019 they delayed the minimum to April 2020. They were wrong… A formula for the start of a new sunspot cycle | SpringerLink https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-020-03800-x Now they delay the maximum.. While I know it already happened… Study still in review… Solar Cycle Progression Updated Prediction (Experimental) | Space Weather Prediction Testbed http://testbed.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-cycle-progression-updated-prediction-experimental

I checked on the solar cycle progression page to see how far SC25 has now exceeded the peak of SC24 as measured in yearly flare activity, and I was somewhat surprised to see that not only has it far surpassed the peak of SC24, it has solidly passed the peak of SC23. This surprised me, SC23 was such a generally strong cycle! Of course, this is only one metric, others such as the SSN still have SC25 much lower than the peak of SC23, still in the territory of the peak of SC24. Anyway, I wanted to see if the big nerds knowledgeable folks on here had any reactions to this graph (SC25 exceeding the peak of SC23 in yearly flare counts). Is this a quirk of the data measuring …

I was wondering if it was possible to see a solar flare during the total solar eclipse with the naked eye if a flare occurs during totality?

This sunspot group grabbed my attention today. It has been developing for quite a bit, and now there is getting interesting with 1 or 2 areas that could become more complex. It has also just produced a C7 flare I believe, but I am not 100% sure. Certainly a region to follow. Wish I could upload higher quality images but I don’t know how 😕

Don’t know when it formed but I think that region has a delta?

I'm wondering when we will see the sunspot that hit mars a few weeks ago. Shouldn't that area be turning into view soon?

Beta Delta. New kid. Definitely looks good for now. We need a replacement for 3514 anyway, hopefully this guy steps up soon. Keep dissing it. Haha. It seems to be working so far. Hopefully an M class by tomorrow.

I wanted to start a topic about this region as it has become rather interesting. It has fired a few C-class and now have at least a beta-gamma configuration. It has grown in complexity. I'm including a gif of the development the last 2-days (ish). It's the region to the right in the gif.

This region may be on the western limb but it released a M4 flare and a big CME. It's not the first region I would have thought to have done so, but it also has been active with C flares.

I recently became more interested in these observations, so yesterday only I took the following latitudes from this sites’ eleven regions. North. 08. North 10 North 17 North 20 and North 22 degrees. South 09 South 13 South 15 South 17 and South 18 (2). Avg latitude North is 15.4. Avg latitude South is 15 degrees. Assuming equatorial proximity is a good indicator of Solar Maximum, this is very good news, and that this bears out over the next few months and my quick calculations are accurate, of course. We still have a way to go with SC 25. Haha. Best wishes to all this coming holiday season btw! Mike/Hagrid.

Nie wiedziałem, gdzie to umieścić, więc zakładam nowy temat na przyszłość. Umierający AR3516 zaskoczył niezłym wyglądem CME https://gyazo.com/435c3c04685ed2c0c733f2d0bdaaf8f2. Czekam na SOHO

This Sunspot just produced a C8 Flare. Looking at Suvi 195A i can see dimming, i think. video : https://gyazo.com/029819d1c9b8552de7ef782451cb88c3 The Region as of 14:00 UTC :

Spots are still moving around, but the circled area seemed to be one of the small complex areas so far from what can be made out.

This sunspot has developed a lot in the past 48 hours, It could be a flare player if it keeps developing.

This AR seems to have grown quite a bit. I don’t see any intermediate spots, however I think I spot a delta In the trailing positive. I’m lousy at deltas anyway so any help is most welcomed. Mike and Hagrid

This new area has been crackling with activity since yesterday. It’s at least BG. N.

Will any coronal hole experts comment on what is currently happening? The parameters have just gone up, but I have no idea what will happen next. Someone please explain to me

b-g-d and big size, keep an eye on it can somebody also post a stretched map of it?
