LunarLights58 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) From 2958. R1 radio blackout. I saw coronal dimming from it too. Edited March 2, 2022 by LunarLights58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 It’s a surprise as the region has a simple magnetic structure with only a few spots 🤷♂️ But the Sun always loves surprises 😜 coronal dimming is minor, a small CME is possible but likely not Earth directed due to the location. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarLights58 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 The last flare this strong was January 20's M5.5 from AR 12929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 It’s really weird it came from such a tiny simple spot… how did that happen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris, HB9DFG Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Really funny since I expected this from 2957 and not from the nearly unvisible 2958. But I still do not expect a big show because of it's position and there have been a lot of CMEs in the past blowing the material in an 45°-angle away. So for me it seems to become more a "spaceweathercomglancingblowstaytuned"-type of a CME 😁 But I more wonder what's around the eastern corner... flux was a little rising before the M2 but now I am not sure was it because of the prepared M2 or was it due to the activity around the corner... Stay tu... hmm... turned upwards! 🤭 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just from a visual inspection of the flares form this site. Perhaps someday we can see what is going on underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was facula 😝 2957 is the most complex region on the disk, 2958 is almost vanished after the M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 2957 is growing and looks complicated, it’s already beta-gamma Worth watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I was just now thinking about just this topic! although id take noaa advice over my own suppositions any day, it seems to me that the aluminum conductive skin of a typical airliner might provide a significant level of shielding Thoughts??

I'm not sure the aircraft skin provides any protection against the high energy particles involved. Some time ago I worked with CCD cameras in a basement, under a multi-storey building, and we would sometimes detect these particles hitting the sensor. In case anybody should get concerned about this I would like to point out that these were single particles occurring very infrequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well, I did try interposing a sheet of aluminum foil between the beta source of my cd700 and its attached wand. Negligible if any effect. Indeed our atmosphere is much more capable than most metals at keeping us safe. Very unlikely the Boeing co will be using lead vs aluminum in any passenger aircraft hulls.
