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. Magnetogram suggests an Alpha type sunspot? In front of AR3615 closer to the center of the disk; is that a perfect example of a coronal hole? It's not as visible on the 171 Angstroms though. https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_4096_0193.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping there's something still hiding behind it although far side imagery doesnt really suggested that I think as it looked pretty small on there. But who knows. There also are some loops behind the limb in the northern hemisphere, might also be something hiding behind there. And yeah the thing in front of AR3615 is a coronal hole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justanerd Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 There is also a new region coming from behind the eastern limb east of ar3614 that is starting to flare - the next week or two should be interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Eruption going on behind the limb, new active region on Its way? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Kobyłecki Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) It seems that at about 30 degrees latitude in the northern hemisphere a spot with reversed polarity appeared on the eastern limb Edited April 2 by Adrian Kobyłecki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanicaShardae201 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'm very excited to hear about any interesting new spots appearing on the limb. I'm part of a Solar Flare Sounding Rocket Campaign launching from Poker Flat Alaska in the next few weeks (FOXSI-4 and HI-C Flare rockets)! The plan is to sit on the launch pad waiting for a flare, but there's gotta be an active region that actually flares! Hope we have some really cool stuff rotate onto the disk soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 An anti-hale spot would indeed be interesting as I understand it. More likely to have magnetic instability leading to flaring and possible CMEs. I wish you good luck! Mike 20 minutes ago, DanicaShardae201 said: I'm very excited to hear about any interesting new spots appearing on the limb.

SpaceWeather5464 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 C3 flare, Something is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Yep. South nine limb event. Probably in incoming regions but haven’t checked. Excitement about a C flare. Haha. Well the next two weeks should be interesting, lets hope. @DanicaShardae201 heads up Edited April 5 by hamateur 1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited to see the region that made this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically 15 min for an update as to full details. Good luck. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-B Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It looks like some big regions are just over the east limb. They have some huge loops so maybe we get some action April 8th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinYoongi Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 With a special thanks to @Chris_Wicklund on Twitter : 3615 seems to have grown a lot since rotating off the Visible Disc. No big CME's in Lasco Coronagraph so we cant know if its just growth, Faculae, another Region or anything of course but its something worth watching. About 6-7 Days away from the eastern limb, i think. Correct me if im wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Not gonna lie, people use this farside monitor way too much in their "forecasts", I keep seeing Twitter hype posts everyday about regions being so huge on the farside and 90% of the time they rotate into our view It's literally nothing or just one big alpha spot at most with nothing going on. It's just too inaccurate. Sure they can indeed be big or growing but I still wouldn't hype anything up if there's no activity seen (CME's) at all from the farside. That's just my take on it, not trying to be a negative andy but I'm lowkey tired of seeing it every week. Edited April 7 by mozy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Sander stepped in a bit ago over a mars rover thing also. Personally (and this is just me) whenever the baseline flux dips below the C level for some inexplicable reason when we become bored. Patrick pops up again. Could just be a coincidence. Probably is.

Though the data is "ahead" of what SWPC and the rest of us probably actually use, it's garbo. Rorshach forecasting? Let me try to be constructive about it: A mission like STEREO would benefit us immensely. I would vote towards a mission with the objective of far-side analysis. What we have right now is super uber low resolution composites that don't really concern most of the Earthbound, Earth-orbiting, or Lunar-orbiting satellites/missions. However, it would provide the much-needed insight into the entire lifespan of these sunspots. Edited April 7 by Christopher Shriver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we redirect the funds into better stuff, that is. Mike In fact, your post reminded me just now of a Scott Mcintosh post awhile ago where they were able to use whatever was still available from a failing satellite which still had some portions functioning. Which at the time also reminded me of Apollo 13 when Eugene Kranz said paraphrasing here “ What do we have on the spacecraft that is still working?” Ha Rorschach Forecasts love that especially Hopefully you intended humour there Edited April 8 by hamateur 1953 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see you as negative andy, lol ❤️😃 I can well understand your opinion and tend to share it and definitely agree with you on most points. as sander mentioned in another thread and i mentioned here, i haven't noticed much activity yet either so it may just be big. i only made the post because even if the quality isn't super good you can definitely see that the region is growing a lot probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case everytime, we've seen this before and It turned out to be one big spot only. Edited April 8 by mozy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
