Popular Post Sam Warfel Posted July 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) A nice M-almost-3 from this emerging area right on the NE limb! I hope it keeps up its activity as it rotates more onto the Earthside! Edited July 14, 2022 by Orneno 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it attributed to 3353 but solarsoft showed otherwise. Haven't checked the latest yet. Big AR. Interesting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Solar Soft it hasn't been allocated a number yet. By saying big active region I was meaning the whole area, it is quite large. More active than it appears I would suggest. N.

True, the M2.8 does show there may be more to this AR than meets the eye… 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Warfel Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Officially named 3058 now, I called it 😂 (there weren’t any other new spots that could have gotten the number so I thought it was a safe bet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Seems like it's getting more complex once again as it has started to grow, I spot a small delta Edited July 16, 2022 by mozy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWill Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hi Orneno, Being a real Newbie… to me it looks like it’s close, but not quite. Also, I could be wrong here, so please correct me, but, I thought that a delta occurs when you have a spot of one polarity inside the penumbra of a spot of opposite polarity. A single penumbra. Here, it looks like it’s sandwiched, but the penumbra on either side are associated with different spots, hence not a “single penumbra” of opposite polarity. I’d appreciate your input. I’ve been looking for some good examples of different configurations, but most of the examples of delta I’ve run across seem to be very well defined. Ya know, the textbook case, not your average real world delta… know what I mean? Thanks W & A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the penumbras had merged so much they essentially became one, but they could be two different ones squished together as well. In either case, whether it’s technically a delta or not, it still has pretty strong magnetic shear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to just stop for a minute now and then and really think about what I’m looking at. Even a small sunspot group, that many would find unexceptional, is absolutely awesome when I put myself there, up close, and imagine what it’s like! 😋 And the scale of it all! Just wanna learn… W & A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
