Drax Spacex Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Perhaps my memory is failing, or I have again slipped across that tenuous window into my alternate universe, but I don't recall an M1.19 flare on May 29th, 2020. The archives indicate there was 1 M-class flare and 2 C-class flares on that day. But there were no active sunspot regions. The SDO videos for that day have lots of missing frames, so it's hard to correlate the solar disk images at the times when the X-ray graph detected these flares to see where they came from. Ah, nevermind, yes it was reported here, as the first M-class flare of SC25. P.S. - Dr. Walter Bishop says 'Hi.' https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/409/20200529-first-m-class-solar-flare-of-a-solar-cycle-25-region.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 As indicated in our news item, SDO was in maintenance so the flare wasn’t captured by SDO but was seen by STEREO and X-rays where captured by GOES. The flare image by stereo was used in the article so that would have been enough proof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Lot's of people seem to have forgotten the M-class solar flare that took place back in May. Not so strange of course but yeah... now we just have to wait on the first X-class flare! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher S. Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Don't forget GOES images can also be referenced! I think... Maybe not? Is there somewhere we can find cached/stored images, like an archive, particularly with GOES? Also, that day was pretty momentous, wasn't it? I forgot it was 925 days from the last M-class flare! Edited November 8, 2020 by Christopher S. More to say; typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
