Philalethes Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Very nice; I just barely saw a new spot on the i-gram, wasn't expecting that right off the bat. Definitely looks eruptive, but at that angle I guess the chance for anything Earth-directed is low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hopes are to simply see more of what occurs at various orders of magnitude preceding and following a very active region which keeps the flux quite high, doing something like an X-flare. Run-on sentence, meh. If we get aurora and I actually get outside in time to see it... I mean I just missed an opportunity during that last mega storm! I'm a bit miffed. Let's see some action! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Warfel Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Nice to see some East limb activity for once! Been too long since our last X flare… Maybe this one will, although it will probably be 3228 right on the west limb 🤣 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 3288 is not dead yet. 😣 A nice M7.1 flare at 13:00 came from that direction, and it wasn't even right on the west limb yet! There still is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philalethes Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Looks like clear indications of a delta here too: We'll see when we get a clearer view with some more rotation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philalethes Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Not sure if this newly emerging region is getting its own designation or not, but it definitely looks more and more to me like a reverse polarity region, aka. an anti-Hale region (@mozy). No guarantee for activity of course, but the literature is certainly promising. Couldn't find any quantitative estimates, but some interesting information in papers like this: Quote Solar active regions that violate the Hale–Nicholson rule are rare, but once formed, they tend to be flare-productive. In this letter, we investigated the evolution of an anti-Hale region newly emerging from the active region AR 12882 with a regular Hale distribution. The entire active region became very active, producing two eruptive flares within 48 hr after the emergence of the anti-Hale region. Strong photospheric shear motions appeared in this anti-Hale region, changing its tilt angle from the north–south direction to the east–west direction. The flux emergence and shearing motions continuously injected magnetic energy and negative magnetic helicity into the upper atmosphere. Interesting how it looks like something similar is happening here, with the north-south orientation changing to east-west as it forms.

No hay garantía de actividad, por supuesto, pero la literatura es ciertamente prometedora. No se pudieron encontrar estimaciones cuantitativas, pero sí información interesante en documentos como este : Es interesante cómo parece que algo similar está sucediendo aquí, con la orientación norte-sur cambiando a este-oeste a medida que se forma. It's the region 3296. How interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The delta might die out soon after all these flares., hopefully the other regions can start taking over after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly sdo movies are still rather buggy on mobile I remember talking about these motions, but did you observe any other change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
