farm24 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I was looking at the cactus data and saw this decent CME from over the limb Edited January 23, 2022 by farm24 Am dumb stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesterface23 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 That CME was a filament eruption on our side of the solar disk. Sunspot regions won't be the only areas to look out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it should be registered as an AR tomorrow. By then we should have a slightly better view, but it looks like it has potential for multiple spots.

For a small area of mostly faculae, it's quite active. Hopefully it's growing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly I can see that the leading 'spot' near the limb is not so well defined, but those for AR2935 do not seem particularly strong either - yet that has been registered.

Those are really blurry images, are you using the highest resolution ones available? Go to the SDO page on SWL, click the image icon below the sunspots picture, and choose the highest resolution one and wait for it to load The new AR should look like this, for example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should expect more detail tomorrow. Is it fair to say that the brightness of the faculae dominate our observations near the limb, and spots only become more obvious as that area turns toward us?

Is it fair to say that the brightness of the faculae dominate our observations near the limb, and spots only become more obvious as that area turns toward us? sounds accurate, but I have no proof. However, when you look at the unprocessed version of the image here, you can see how much the disk fades at the edges. It's just hard to see a region that is oriented almost 90 degrees away from you.

LunarLights58 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 2938 (left) and 2936 (right) Thoughts on their magnetic structure so far? 2938 is the better flare producer with multiple C's and a borderline M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said (in the other thread) that 2936 may become complex if it was 'born' on 21st January. Why does that not also apply to 2938 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick P.A. Geryl Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) 1. On stereo you can see that 2938 was born after January 23 and 2936 before 2. It is currently the only strong sunspot on GONG, so 2936 has to be the one! 3. New hit for the sunspot theory… who wants to help?
