It was on the SSW limb around the 20th-21st. CMEs from some filament eruptions can pack a pretty good punch, maybe the most famous being the one that launched August 31st, 2012. The bulk of it missed us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gMike Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Could this new region be the one that will bring the activity we have been waiting for? It is found in a location that was inactive on the last rotation but the images suggest it has grown very significantly. Actually, looking at it again, the spot is the wrong polarity so unless there are a bunch of other spots coming up behind.........😟 Edited November 3, 2022 by 3gMike Comment re Polarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Looking a bit more carefully I think I agree with that. I noticed that the plage areas surrounding the spot seem to show up predominantly in the positive (green / blue) field areas. There is a gap between the positive spot and the plage area to the east. Edited November 4, 2022 by 3gMike Additional info re plage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filament ? (i think there was a large south-west one around that time?) or farside AR? I think this filament eruption is the source, but i didnt knew that filaments reach such a speed (2000kms). i remember @Vancanneyt Sander saying they often dont produce large storms because they simply lack ejection power/speed. It’s from the far side, filament I expect. Keep in mind that a filament and prominence are the same thing. If it is on the limb, you can see it with the blackness of space as a backdrop - they call that a prominence. The same structure would have been called a filament before it got to the limb. Which ever you want to call it - it’s a long arch of plasma hanging hundreds or even thousands of km above the surface, except the ends. And of course many thousands or tens of thousands of km long. Filaments can last a day or long enough to be visible multiple times around the sun. Sometimes they can erupt into space, but more commonly, fall back down to the surface of the sun. With a filament, the ends tend to be most (magnetically involved) and so, when erupting it’s usually only the ends which pull mass out with the ejection and usually not so much mass as a flare can pull out of the sun. Beautiful pic! Hope this helps. It’s starting to look really nice out right now, after a few days of being socked in. Off to the telescope! Hope this helps some. Cheers.

Impulsive M5.2 flare, yet with a clear CME visible in some GOES imagery loops.

Sam Warfel Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Wow! Nice! First decent flare in a while! Let’s move further conversation to the thread for this AR. Edited November 7, 2022 by Orneno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Warfel Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Looks like CMEs off both the SE and NE limbs, although some could be filaments. I hope we get some decent ARs, it’s awfully blank on the sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The region in the South produced no significant activity on the last rotation, and the WSO synoptic map (observed 7th Nov) does not suggest particularly strong magnetic fields, but the latest HMI Magnetogram looks encouraging, so there has probably been some development on the farside. The region in the North produced two fairly active ARs on the last rotation - ARs 3140 and 3141 - As they left the West limb AR3141 was decaying but AR3140 was still growing, so that may have survived transition of the farside. That appears to be the area of highest magnetic field strength on the whole surface at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mike. i saw a big and fast CME from the far side so im waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Warfel Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 4 ARs at roughly the same latitude across the northern hemisphere at once, and another hotspot incoming on STEREO A… the northern hemisphere is really kicking into gear! I’m watching for lower latitude spots as we trend towards maximum… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
