Sam Warfel Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Some bright spots about to rotate over the East Limb, hopefully they’re interesting sunspots! The Earth-facing disk is getting a bit boring, after all those ARs we had a while back 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Spacex Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Last rotation was very quiet from the half of the Sun now rotating into Earth view. However, on Dec 25th there was a fairly strong far side CME behind the east limb in the northern hemisphere. If that eruption emanated from a sunspot region, we should see it rotating into view in the next few days. But if it was a filament eruption, we may not see any evidence of it. https://ibb.co/zx5QCF3 Edited January 2, 2022 by Drax Spacex img link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possibility for a returning spot in the Northern hemisphere, in the next couple of days, is AR2910, which was not particularly active last time round. That said, Stereo Ahead EUVI 195 does seem to indicate a reasonable level of activity on the East limb in both hemispheres. In terms of the Southern hemisphere, we could see the return of AR2907 in the next 4 or 5 days, and that was fairly active last time. Let's wait and see what appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small region, but it quickly became a beta since yesterday when it was just an alpha. Edited January 6, 2022 by LunarLights58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still look pretty good on the spherical image. But magnetic conditions do not look particularly conducive to complex development (see Synoptic Map Jan 06 / 18:52 - unable to upload due to file size limits).

Still pretty bright and nice looping, what makes it not conducive to development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yes - I should have said enhanced size not enhanced brightness. Those two regions do appear to be emitting a fair amount of flux. We might see 10.7 cm solar radio flux over 100 once they come around the bend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
