Sam Warfel Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) We just got an M1 flare from the AR soon to rotate over! It looks to be long-duration as well, it’s still ongoing! A great way to welcome in this new AR, we know it’s at least capable of M! Edited January 14, 2022 by Orneno 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinYoongi Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yep! Do you think it's the "real" value, or did GOES fail to catch the full magnitude? (Due to the region being not fully over the limb yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Due to the region being not fully over the limb yet) It looks right at the limb, so I think we got all or almost all of it. I wouldn’t think it would be more than M5 or so at the absolute max.

LunarLights58 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I see a long loop lifting off the Sun in imagery from the SWPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanneyt Sander Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Coronal dimming was low, so no big CME and no radio sweeps. Just a normal minor M-class event. its a good start 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a tweet from SWL, a notification if you receive those, and an alert bar on the right side of the website homepage with the other bars.

NightOwl Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thanks! Is that the same as a radio emission (but different from a radio blackout)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Just now, NightOwl said: Thanks! Is that the same as a radio emission (but different from a radio blackout)? Yes and yes. It's the same thing as an emission (maybe I mis-used the term sweep, it's more often called a radio emission). And it's not the same thing as a radio blackout. Those are where radiation from a solar flare (x-rays, etc.) ionize the top of Earth's atmosphere, meaning it interacts with the radio waves we send around on the ground differently than normal and makes it harder to send them long distances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarLights58 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) A long, narrow streamer of coronal material still appears to have been ejected. Edited January 14, 2022 by LunarLights58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 The new AR is rotating into view. Frankly, it looks pretty underwhelming, even though it’s fired off at least 3 major flares, one or more of which may have been X-class. Does this mean it’s decayed a lot since then? Or is something like this still capable of the flares we’ve seen? Was all the excitement for nothing, and @Sander Vancanneyt is vindicated yet again? Or is there still hope for fireworks from this AR like the ones we saw from the far side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has decayed a lot since the last big blast, plus activity declined after the M-flare so that’s a bummer 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be totally wrong on this but who knows. I will go for it always. But what if that this AR that just rotated in to view recently, wasn't the AR that was firing off these M- and possible X- class solar flares? Again I may be wrong but could this be a case...? It could be a different AR that was near that AR. But I think I am wrong. 🤷♀️ I just like finding the least worst way 😂 Edited January 15, 2022 by Solarflaretracker200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance the CME played a role in the underwater volcano eruption? I would imagine the Earth's core could be bumped thus jostling a little lava out of the sippy cup spout? The clouds over the global radar yesterday were the wildest looking thing. Bizarre storm patterns and cloud formations. I apologize I really don't have expertise on any of this but it seems a curious coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
