AR 13372: M5, M6, and more!

this region produced 3 m-flares (including M6.83) on the day of its appearance on visible part of the sun,so it is really worth observation. in addition, it raised the level of background flux

First post on here, been lurking since the big sunspot in May. Bought some solar glasses and have been interested in all the solar activity lately. 

Came here to ask if anyone has checked the Mars mastcam pictures for a sneak peak of this incoming AR

Looking at magnetic field data from WSO, captured late June, it looks like this is a moderately strong region. What I find interesting is that the centres of the fields are quite widely separated. Of course it is possible that there has been some development since this image was captured. It certainly is doing well so far, and SWPC have given it a good rating.

That is one helluva explosion shock wave over 4000 km/sec if the numbers are correct!

4583km/sec as noted on this site!

I don’t think the numbers are correct. Next one showing an estimated velocity of: “2023 Jul 12 003 km/sec” with the date at the top showing Jan 1, 1970 lol.

strange that yesterday's M5 and M6 still were not reclassified as ones from 3372

As I understand it, the “powers that be” were still analyzing the data for several hours after the first few flares. It’s taking longing than usual for that to trickle down. This region was *just* peaking over the limb, with other regions more visible Earth side that were active, so that’s likely the source of the hiccup.
