Solar activity

So, what is that? Never seen it before is it a glitch ?

this region appeared out of nowhere over the past few days and now it was classified as beta-gamma, which i think is worth observation

So this region gave us an M flare in the nighttime hours (if you live in the USA) and produced a very speedy CME. Starting the discussion. According to SpaceWeather.com the CME was hurled out at 2.4 million mph. Wow!! I believe this flare also produced a fairly significant radio blackout in East China/Korea/Taiwan and a spike in the GOES Proton Flux around 7:30 UTC. Will the CME be headed for Earth? SpaceWeatherLive lists a partial halo CME with angular width of 126 degrees at 4 UTC…

After watching sunspots for the last year or so and digging into a whole bunch of archives I've noticed something. What I noticed is any sunspot that has given off an X-flare has been a rapidly evolving sunspot. Basically more than doubling in size in 24 hrs. A perfect example of this is AR13354 https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/region/13354.html this sunspot may not have given off an X-flare but it rapidly evolved. another better example is in 2017 AR12673 rapidly evolved into a Beta-Delta-Gamma sun spot giving off quite a few X-flares in the 8.0 area. https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/region/12673.html …

I've been watching this coming off the limb with high hopes and just now it popped off an M2.0 flare. Maybe this one will make up for stage-fright we've been getting from 3354. There's a nice looking filament wrapping around the southern end of this region too.

This looks like a so-called anemone AR to me; at least it seems like it's situated right in the middle of a large CH, although I could be seeing it wrong. It's not an everyday occurrence as far as I'm aware, so that'd be cool. Looks interesting in the imagery in any case, it caught my eye before it even struck me that it might be such a region.

We have delta! Number of sunspots, Size, Class, Magn Class, Location 18 300 EKC β-δ N21W32

Has anybody an idea if we have now a record amount of small sunspots since the measurements started? Meaning 5 sunspots that give around 135? And when was the previous high?

https://ibb.co/Y822s9F Why hasn't this area been defined yet as an AR? These small spots left of AR3332 have been visible for a several days, but no AR yet. Are they still considered pores not sunspots? Numerologists are waiting with eager anticipation!

First X-flare in a while from the region on the limb. Looks like there was some eruptivity, but it's difficult to say for sure how much. This was the region that looked promising on the farside imagery for a while lately, let's see if it can keep up.

Hello everyone. I am curious about learning more on how everyone reads/interprets the magenetograms and HMIBC images to learn more about the sunspot regions. I understand a very basic concept of "white equals pointing towards us, and black equals pointing away from us". But I've noticed that people use the HMIBC images more than the black and white magneto so I'm looking for information on how to read those images and what it means for activity from these regions. Anyone have a good go-to reference? Thank you in advance for helping a noob out!

Looks like a bit of action going on here. Almost M-flare just now (C9.75), and what seems like some eruptivity. Some development since it came into view too; something to keep an eye on in these relatively quiet times.

This one looks to be shaping into something interesting. It has at least one decent delta in there and a fair degree of complexity. It's also been firing off a string of class C flares today that appear to be increasing in intensity with the last one a C7.4. (assuming the flares listed under each region here are in order of occurrence not intensity?) And as I was typing this, it got upgraded to β-γ-δ

A (longish) M2 flare in progress from region 3331. Looks like it sent a pretty good wiggle across the corona, CME?

This image is weird, not seen something before. Two images later are gone, first image afterwards is also strange in my opinion. Someone also seen this or have explanation? i cant upload, no Space, sorry. So not attached https://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/browse/2023/06/08/ahead/cor2/2048/

Dear Friends, Solar activities have been updated by the Big solar observatories so far. A very technical data and its outcome we see and study in our daily life, but a solar storm and geomagnetic storms are beyond our reach. Usually we detect a black spot, when its already created. We forecast a solar flare in coming 7-10 days based on the sighting. Is this possible to forecast a solar flare, its magnitude in advance. probably not, in the present scenario. there are a few forecasts, which have been given before any scientific finding and they were correct too. there are a few forecasts, which have been given months before the solar season. the question is... ho…

Just now appearing around the limb, may be a spot worth keeping an eye on, and discussing. A bit ✨sparky✨ today.

Hi friends, I've been lurking on this site for some time and just now decided to create an account. Essentially, I am working on a computer vision project to classify solar flares, however differing from existing approaches I plan on regressing on the X-ray flux from the sun rather than trying to classify whether there is a risk of solar flare. Not only does this approach not rely on human labeling, I am also hopeful that it may help us gain better insight on solar physics through its more granular predictions. (also motivated by the fact that I think existing classifiers, e.g. https://defn.nict.go.jp/index_eng.html, do not have particularly good performance) I …

We have been analyzing solar cycles for a few decades now. We are here to discuss a few new details. this will include a little bit of solar cycle, grand solar cycle, time cycle and a little more to all of them. this is believed that we have a 11 years long solar cycle. Ideally, it has 10.2 years time +/- imbalance. these are the timelines when we have one of the most active Sun and least active Sun too at a difference of 5 years approx. the time of solar maxima or the actual minima is not known to science as there is not established theory on this topic. The scientists have been trying their hands proving the same since 1971, but no success so far. Here, are a few p…

Starting to see what looks like a tiny delta or two and I noticed it just got upgraded to β-γ It still doesn't look all that impressive but it seems to have gotten quite a bit more complex than it was yesterday. I'm wondering if this one is getting frisky just in time for a limb or far side event.

I've been looking at this area for days. It doesn't seem like it's very complex and since no one has mentioned anything about it, I guess it's not really interesting at the moment. But I find pretty impressive how it has developed and how it has grown in such a short time. The only M flare from yesterday came from this area. I have opened this thread because I didn't know where to talk about it, and I would like to know opinions about the region 🙂

Quite a bit of flaring from this new region already (which I assume will be 3311), a few M-flares so far, including this last one that seems to be eruptive, and has moved up and down while staying in the M-class for over an hour at the point of writing. Not aimed at Earth at all at this point, though.

Trust but verify. Identifying the "glitch" on other instruments(but just because you don't see it on other similar instruments, doesn't mean it isn't there) wait and see use NGO's or data from other countries with different goals gather expert opinions gather amateur opinions seek historical similarities look for retocausality wait and see

Do any body have idea when a M or X class Flare Sun emits , at that time what was position of that instrument that received it . LIKE SDO on which area of earth it positioned that that. Thank you.
