It's producing a decent CME once again

Is that also the reason the background flux is rising? While the earthsided regions are producing minor flares, i can see it "lingeringly glow" from the limb where it disappeared behind and the other regions dimmed while the x-ray flux rised.

Yes that's the cause of the X-ray, I believe it's the closest edge of the area to us that's flaring, most likely triggered by filament rising or loops randomly rising, doesn't seem that explosive like an X-flare considering that area barely had any spots when it left our view

thank you for explaining. so you think the loops that are still visible are being picked up by goes?  (just paraphrasing to make extra sure  )

STIX detected an X3 flare from this region at 03:05 today again

Something is definitely happening there. Regrowth possibly?

It looked like it was regrowing on the west limb.... so of course it's going to shoot everything off on the other side and then be gone in two weeks.

Poor old 3697.

GONG farside imagery.

Highly inaccurate

There were a few regions around it as well as it went around to the farside.

yep. all farside products are, but gong is slightly worse most of the times due to the generally lower duty cycles.

Great video from ESA of AR 3664/3697 rotating around the Sun.

Wow 😍. Probably a stupid question, if we are able to see the farside with solar orbiter why don't we know if a big active region is still existing?  

Is AR3664/AR3697 coming back around?

It is coming into view on the left ( east ) limb currently.  There should be a lot of posts on its new number designation tomorrow I suspect.  You can easily see the activity in 131 angstrom ( teal colour) view on this site presently. Check its latitude.  It should be at approximately South 19-20 degrees if it is our infamous AR.

This is what I could gather, I may be highly wrong on this one but the larger spot barely visible could be it.

Latitude looks good. Might be two days before SWPC numbers it though. 

I should have probably used a white background to make the spot more visible but if I'm not the only one seeing it it should be fine

I can’t see deltas so don’t go by me alone.  If you and @Parabolic can see it, no doubt SWPC will.  🤣🤣  If nothing else shows up it should be AR 13727 I believe

This region has already been renumbered.

AR 13697 Summary (Includes following rotation)

AR 13697 (S18, old infamous AR 13664) first rotated into view on 28 May 2024.

It prepared for its next earthside rotation by producing an X1 flare on the farside on 24 May 2024.

After the farside flare, on 27 May 2024, it produced an X2.90 flare, measured X4 on the farside.

Then, on 29 May 2024, it produced an X1.45 flare.

Then, on 31 May 2024, it produced an X1.18 flare.

Then, on 1 June 2024, it produced an X1.43 flare.

Later, on that very same day, it produced an X1.03 flare.

Then, on 8 June 2024, it produced an M9.75 flare, causing the largest solar radiation storm of SC25 (1028.531 pfu) from 8 June 2024 to 9 October 2024, when AR 13848 beat the record (1143.644 pfu on 9 October 2024, 1811.953 pfu on 10 October 2024) with a LDE X1.84 flare.

It finally rotated out of view on 10 June 2024.

Then, on 10 June 2024, it produced an X1.55 flare, measured X1 on the farside.

It produced several farside flares until it produced its final major X-flare, an X3 on the farside on 17 June 2024.

Then, as it was being renumbered as combined AR 13723 (AR 13723/13727/13728 complex), as AR 13727, it produced an M9.36 flare.

AR 13727 then rotated into view as AR 13723 on 24 June 2024, then renumbered from AR 13723 to AR 13727.

The AR 13723/13727/13728 complex produced two more M-flares, an M1.02 on 25 June 2024 and an M1.04 on 4 July 2024.

AR 13727 finally rotated out of view on 6 July 2024, before finally disappearing on the farside on 15 July 2024.
