Archmonoth Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Does Sunspot number 2866's 2x2 configuration (2 positive and 2 negative) mean it is a Beta-Delta yet? Is the Penumbra enough a Beta-Delta-Gamma classification? Also, the number of Sunspots is 23, is there a correlation with sunspot numbers being prime numbers which results in flares? 2866 has 23 sunspots at the moment.

Archmonoth: You love those prime numbers! seeing they form the basis of the Monster Group, at least up to 71! I'm sure there has to be some correlation between the numbers prime and when flares occur! ...... and throw the occasional alignment in!

Prime numbers are helpful for seeing asymmetry, maybe it is related to sunspots, *shrug* seems like it is worth asking. I tried to answer my own question about the classification of 2866, but I'm not an authority on if a line can be drawn through the spots easily for a Beta-Delta or Beta-Delta Gamma, or if the Penumbra is large enough. There is also little pair of spots in the lower right corner of 2866, maybe if they connect to the bigger spots....

Los números primos son útiles para ver la asimetría, tal vez esté relacionado con las manchas solares, * encogerse de hombros * parece que vale la pena preguntar. Traté de responder mi propia pregunta sobre la clasificación de 2866, pero no soy una autoridad sobre si se puede trazar una línea a través de los puntos fácilmente para un Beta-Delta o Beta-Delta Gamma, o si la Penumbra es lo suficientemente grande. También hay un pequeño par de puntos en la esquina inferior derecha de 2866, tal vez si se conectan a los puntos más grandes ... I do not want to affirm anything, since I still do not know, but for me it is a betta-delta, with a delta point sadly forming and weak, but I don't know, I'm still new to this space weather even if it takes a year, I'm seeing the weather space must august 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Vancanneyt Sander Posted September 8, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 8, 2021 Currently no spots of opposite polarity within the penumbra of 2866. But things might change… beta gamma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to go out on a limb to make a call on it either! Sometimes the lines are blurred aren't they? Now I notice there's another smaller pair of sunspots below 2866! SFI is already 101 will it go higher? And plage 2865 (or it could be 2864) seems to have produced some more spots - it's all happening (Latest HMI imagery) Edited September 8, 2021 by Newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 2866 is the front-runner with a C8.34 flare today. In the colorized magnetogram HMIBC imagery, it seems like when the sunspots start to look like sunlarvae, we might be in for some fireworks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have trouble working that one in to a conversation How did you go with halcyon and espy? But yeah, 2866! Keep doing what you are doing! Especially as there wasn't supposed to be any activity between the 9th and the 15th. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 No, still working on the right awkward moment to slip those words into casual conversation. I tried them on my cat, but he was mostly unimpressed by my burgeoning vocabulary. Now I'm thinking suntardigrades - the little fellas are pretty robust, and they might actually be able to live on the Sun (okay maybe a few thousand ° too hot). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 My cat only knows two words: His name, Harley and din-dins. But you could describe his life as halcyon, as he is espied lying in the Sun, soaking up those solar rays. It's good to see the sun is becoming more active! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Now sunspot 2868 is beta-gamma! I wonder if 2866 will follow suit! Edited September 10, 2021 by Newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
