tniickck Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 i am curious about the buggest sunspot group size possible. we know that the largest recorded group was about 6000-6500 ppm of area in 1947. also we know that on smaller stars (for example red dwarfs) sunspot groups can cover really big part of surface. were there any researches of it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw pretty doggone big. 2500 MH not extraordinary during Solar Maximum! Also happy to report our current sn 157 sfi 187 ss latitude average of 14.3 degrees both hemispheres well above still 13 degrees. Great xmas prez Santa. Thanks! Mike\ Hagrid Incidentally, that is a staggering size!! Was completely unaware of this interesting fact until you brought it up here. 1947 so SC 17 or possibly SC 18 I presume. I don’t have data for that year. Maybe others do here. Humour: The sun will be off for a couple of weeks until this sunspot group passes over the limb of disappointment SRI kids.

cgrant26 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) We had one over the summer that you could see with just a pair of eclipse glasses. Usually you need some magnification to make out a sunspot. Certainly nowhere near as large as the monster tniickck posted above but it was fun going outside and looking at it.

tniickck Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) Just sketched some 1859 sunspots. they caused the Carrington event 18 hours later.

hamateur 1953 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) Yeah those wussy little spots pale in comparison to the earlier posts. Haha . Edit: ya know @tniickck you seem to have a lot of talent. Spaceweather memes is overdue for some good humour. I can’t create them but no doubt you could.

A 10000 MH sunspot has never been recorded in history but we have only been recording sunspots daily since the 1600's because of the telescope, So imagine all the monster sunspots that we didn't get to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
