Solar_Marcel Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The latest farside map looks like this: The orange region (Corresponding to FS_2024_002) currently has a strength of 14977... what does this "strength" number mean? 2024-01-09.0 Far-Side Vantage: CLon = 302.1, Lat = 3.8 Designation Centroid Strength ETA at Days from Longitude Latitude East Limb East Limb (degree) (degree) (yyyy-mm-dd.d) FS-2024-001 29.6 31.6 158 2024-01-09.4 0.4 FS-2024-002 333.5 13.6 14977 2024-01-13.5 4.5 FS-2024-006 289.9 -15.3 1599 2024-01-16.6 7.6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Since this is incoming regions, take a look at Northern Hemisphere. It appears as though we have at least three filament loops just hanging above the surface, ready to be slung our way. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East limb is currently around 30 degrees, so we could see a few good ARs over the next few days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be supports for a 100,000 meter rhombic antenna. 1 hour ago, Drax Spacex said: One has slung, probably not our way. Yep. Assuming you meant the closest one to us. Not there in latest 193 pic The spray is visible in 131 kinda cool. Also the two original points of surface connection Solar ham posted a prominence eruption from this a bit ago I was just informed.

hamateur 1953 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 @3gMike was suggesting a fairly active region or two is on our incoming limb soon. From the monster loops I have just seen and X Ray flux heading up continuously, it seems a certainty from SH at least. Good call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping for more since the limb was so bright 😔 I guess we will have a new period with rather low activity. I hope the regions that looks to be behind the limb still can bring som action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I hope so too! We have a couple of regions 'knocking on the door' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Jay-B, how do you get those images? Thanks! I only know of GONG and Stanford Helioseismology for far side imagery. I was about to joke about you sending pics from your private observatory on Mars or Venus or ... and I actually realise those must be from Mars Rover?

Malisha Reuvekamp Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Haha they are. Perseverance. Note the other topic about farside photos from Perseverance. 😁 https://community.spaceweatherlive.com/topic/2888-mars-rovers-provide-another-perspective-on-farside-solar-activity/ Edit: forgot to add the link with the original photos from Mars Rover. https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/ Edited January 30 by Malisha Reuvekamp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesterface23 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) 18 hours ago, Jay-B said: There is a big area that is going to be turning into view later this week! The problem is those might not be incoming. They might have been what went over the western limb for us as we don't know what is the north or south pole of the Sun in the image. ........... I guess technically though, anything over the western limb and not yet over the eastern limb would be incoming ............ And after doing a little bit more searching, they actually do look like something that will come over the eastern limb within a week. Both circled areas look to be southern disk regions.

tniickck Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 CME from farside flare has been modeled. seems it was not from the incoming region, but from somewhere else, pretty dense and really fast (40 hours to L1) CME. seems we are going to have lots of fireworks this month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
