Nobody can say it is growing. M flares are possible while going down in strength. Even small X flares. Long duration flares could indicate a total blow up. 

Whats a total blow up? 

The farside maps say its growing.

I thought you said partys over. Now total blow up and nobody can say anything? Im confused

Nobody can see if it is growing on the Farside. The party should be over once you see it on this side. We see only limited activity the next week for regrowing again. Will publish calculations Sunday.

But you do know there is farside imagery. Also we can see its bright loops already and its unleashing a really big flare right now. Do you think it will start to decay now? Im really just trying to understand. Im not watching the sun long enough

I am sorry to spoil the party… but the latest activity was induced by an opposition Mercury Venus. It ends now at 05:15. Thereafter the sunspot will go down…😱

"It ends now at 05:15"... that's a bold statement when none can really know and all we can do is guess.

I do think he means the afroamentioned Conjuction, not a flare

Ah okay.  But yea still, the statement "Thereafter the sunspot will go down" is also a bold statement and feels like it's for certainty when none really can know. Feels like we should all be careful with doing statements like this like it's 100% true. Then we should state clearly that it's a prediction and not a fact.

100% with you on that! 

Thats why I asked so much, never really thought we could predict such things

Maybe You’re right or wrong. We will never know truly. 

It seems that our sunspot 2975 does not come alone, it comes with a company, so it may be that it is not that big, and it only merged with its companion?latest_1024_0131.jpg

We discussed that many times in the forum, sunspot groups dont merge

True. We only have imagery.

Spaceweather Experts on Twitter also suggest it was X-Class.
