MinYoongi Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) The Sun will not give us a break. Tiny Sunspot 2982 just gave us a rather big C-class Flare with a big Pop. I would'nt have thought that, its so tiny and Noaa only gave it 5% chance. The reason i thought its not even a sunspot is because NOAA didnt even mentioned it on their latest Synoptic map and said in their Forecast that it Decayed to plage. I cant really see sunspots on SDO so how can a Plage manage to produce a C2 Flare? Edited April 4, 2022 by MinYoongi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfFeralHuman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Mmm.. I'm on board here. I think that region is about to get very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarflaretracker200 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 What’s with these nearly invisible sunspots giving us these powerful C and low M classes. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a humungus dark filament protuding next to it (which right now looks like it might be erupting, not sure). There was a lot of charge exchage in a sort-of-circle around the spot in a ring prior to the euption that just happened, but I think this one connected to and fell back to 2978/2981, so might trigger something there. /shrug The 304, 211, 171 composite is a spectical right now whatever it means!

MinYoongi Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thanks Why do you think its lifting off? Are there signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I said I thought it was lifting off then, and TBH I'm not sure what it's doing now. I'd say it hasn't yet. I'm nervous to make any call right now, but if forced to make a guess I'd expect it to pop soon. [Edit] By 'It' I mean the filament next to 2982. .... otherwise this is kind of a 'no shit sherlock' thing to say. Edited April 5, 2022 by HalfFeralHuman Needed at least a bit of clarification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just trying to learn what to look for since i never really looked at Filaments. Do you maybe have a screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you maybe have a screenshot? hear you. I could suggest you spend some time just watching archive footage of SDO's AIA 171, but I'd say if you really want to understand what you're looking at, go and lookup how transformers work first. That might seem like an odd suggestion, but you'd be surprised what you can learn from them, and how deeply connected those working are to the sun's activity and all electromagnitc physics. But you asked for a shot of the filament I was talking about, here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, if you click “more data” and hit the “secondary” at the bottom, you can see the secondary data which fills the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 3 times for up to an hour. I remember you talking about scheduled maintenance somewhere in April so it could be that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
