chronical Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) This sunspot group grabbed my attention today. It has been developing for quite a bit, and now there is getting interesting with 1 or 2 areas that could become more complex. It has also just produced a C7 flare I believe, but I am not 100% sure. Certainly a region to follow. Wish I could upload higher quality images but I don’t know how 😕 Edited December 19, 2023 by chronical 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add a link. https://www.lmsal.com/solarsoft/latest_events/ the table at the bottom are the 20 most recent events. With the most recent at the bottom.

Liam Rice Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I’m relatively new to space weather, does anyone know what this strange filament is that came out in the left side just now? Not seeing anything CME wise yet but will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasa posted about it but the last sentence is confusing me a bit, weird wording. to me it looks a bit like beta gamma but i didnt strike it as something crazy special can someone maybe fill me in? it got 5% X flare chance at 13UTC but i dont know why 1 hour ago, chronical said: The wall of positive and negative polarities beside the big unipolar sunspot was more promising earlier today, guess it decayed a little sadly. you cant only look at the left picture, its very pale blue also had no really spots to it if you compare with the right. you always have to overlay both and compare, not only look at blue and red stoically 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 AR3529's current growth rate is higher than other current ARs. On the next Solar Region Summary update, AR3529 size may cover the greatest area (in MH), surpassing AR 3519. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about complexity? i dont see a delta but i think maybe a bit gamma-ry? mostly beta though? also, what does MH mean? Sorry, horrible with abbreviations.

I don't think there is a delta yet either but there is still some foreshortening so it's hard to be sure. However I do agree it should be a beta-gamma at least.

Absolutely @Drax Spacex In addition to this regions rapid growth 3519 appears to have shrunk somewhat.

But who knows, lets hope it develops more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
