hamateur 1953 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Supposedly old 3590 is due very soon at around N 17 if my memory is still working. I would expect to be seeing something around that latitude peeking at us. Although @tniickck might be correct in that all we will see is plage. Hopefully if this is the case it recovers for another transit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 We haven't seen much far side activity on LASCO, which may indicate 3590 is still quiescent with respect to capacity for producing solar storms. Lightning maybe, but no thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesterface23 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If I remember correctly 3590 should be back around on the limb on the 15th or 16th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Yes 15 or 16 latest probably correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philalethes Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Not bad for a flare from a region that's still well beyond the limb. Doesn't look like this particular region is visible in any of the farside imagery either, could be a new development. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgrant26 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I wonder what this flare would be registering in strength if it were center disk? M3.5 is pretty impressive for beyond the limb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justanerd Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The coronal hole opening right in front of it will significantly weaken the region if history is any indicator 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, checked the area in past imagery and the region looks to have developed at some point on the far-side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Seeing the aftermath with how the region still is looking after the flare makes me wonder if it actually wasn't a upper M-class afterall? Not sure if I can recall seeing a low grade M-flare with such post-eruption loops raining down like this before. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how occulted the region is, but i remember a few years ago that the owners explained that once the loops are visible on the incoming limb, the measurements shouldnt be too occulted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justanerd Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) A c class from further behind the limb and a second m class from the original region - SUVI thematic shows two different areas of origin for the last 2 flares post eruption looping still continues from the original m flare 😮 Am I seeing correctly some sympathetic activity between the flaring region on the southeastern limb and the CH right to the west of it? I swear I see ejecta from the SSW side of the CH beginning about 2155 UTC Edited March 16 by Justanerd Looping activity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomyyB Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) 2 hours ago, Open said: Old 3590? Presumably. Is the activity on further south on the limb a newly formed region?

I swear I see ejecta from the SSW side of the CH beginning about 2155 UTC Yes. Really unusual CH although I really don’t know that much about how much they might grow in size. This southern CH east limb seems to me to have grown. We had one a couple years ago that “ ate” an AR I think and became named the “ Anemone “*. Haha. @MinYoongi coined that perhaps. Anyway as far as I am aware they might produce a KP 5 stream or assist a good CME or disrupt a cme but y’all probably knew that if you lurked for awhile anyway. 😋Mike * anemone is an aquatic thing that looked identical to the white AR that the CH “ate” no offence intended by this description to @MinYoongi btw. Unless it creeped her out, can’t remember now! Haha Edited March 18 by hamateur 1953 Sea critter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeteoLatvia Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The region is now fully on visible disc, but strangely it is not assigned yet. It looks like it was the one responsible for the M3.5 flare Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamDieGurke Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Hey everyone ^^ Been lurking here since November 2023 and thought I would finally join. Something seems to be moving into view behind 3615. Doesn't seem like it has done anything so far but still looks a lil interesting. Edited March 19 by SamDieGurke 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
