Yes, it was facula 😝

2957 is the most complex region on the disk, 2958 is almost vanished after the M2

A cd 700 is a “ geiger counter”.  no geigers are 

ever detected 🙄.  i have a photo but file size prohibits the upload.  After fukushima I acquired and repaired several for personal use. They were in wide use during my youth among prospectors looking for uranium deposits. Also in use by our government as a tool for the horrors of nuclear war which we avoided.  Manufactured by several companies. A good standby and fun to poke around with.

There is a lot of unwarranted fear I believe, and honestly the more I learn about our environment, the less fear I have. You truly can trust the real scientists at NOAA. they know their stuff.

This region, 2958, which has decayed to a plage, still has some kick. I saw that it had a filament eruption with some coronal dimming and a slow, faint CME, possibly Earth-directed.
