We have a 10cm radio sweep from somewhere and for the life of me I am completely stumped as to origin. 11:01 today 3/10/25. Nothing dark on the farside last I looked. Anyone else have a clue? We had a bogus injection of old data once awhile back, however I doubt this to be the case here. The Sun doesn’t typically do this unless accompanied by a moderate rise in flux on our side at roughly the same time either. Farside? Possibly.

We did have a notable farside eruption off the east limb, but that occurred around 23 UTC yesterday which doesn’t line up with the radio sweep. I’m puzzled with this one.

    There's a new sunspot group on the far side, and one M3 gave out yesterday.

    I approved your post as I am not unreasonable but I do set boundries for what I believe is for the greater good of the community. I was not angry at all when I locked the topic in question but a compl

    Been slowly making a simple NE limb video and finally decided to finish it last night as JSOC will be down for 6 hours for maintenance to fix data gaps.

We now have a type IV!! Rockandroll if its real! 🤣🤣🤣. It just doesn’t correlate with anything even remotely. For now I guess we can forget about it. If Kiruna dives to -2000 nt in two days I guess we had a CME. 😊. Hey @Sammy It was a filament launch apparently. Pop over to the top thread. Mike

This one is a departing region on the west side, looked like a flux rope got stretched and snapped which produced a large diffraction spike.

The Type II earlier might've been an eruption of... Something underneath and around 14232 that started half an hour earlier. Unfortunately I have no high-resolution video to look at, both Helioviewer and Cruiser is down.

PS: Just saw your post in the other thread, oh well now you're doubly aware 😂

The active region AR 4244 provides evidence of a coronal mass ejection with eruptions lasting fractions of a second. These are not phenomena that we are used to observing, in which the eruption takes a progressive amount of time to develop and then generates the CME. These phenomena are sudden and almost imperceptible, unless examined closely, but they can surprise us at any moment.

Wanted to try make a list of "What's noteworthy for returning regions" in the coming days. Been watching two of the regions due to listed growth(these are a small test of Raben as well), with a third becoming interesting as its loops came into view.

14220, 0 days - It's the one currently rotating into view to the south. Fairly boring last time we saw it with 12 C-flares & max C3.6 plus uninteresting on Rabens farside map, but the region has shown a consistently high level of activity since yesterday. Not sure if it's due to its magnetic configuration or growth.

14221, 2-3 days - It's following behind 14216 that just rotated into view to the north. Uninteresting on our side of the disc but on its last day produced a C7.9. According to Raben it has grown consistently since leaving us, however it's not visible on GONG.

14224(+14217&23), 3-4 days - Trailing 14220. Small region on our side, but gave two M1 flares. Raben has had this region as rapidly growing for several days, and its listed position fits with the area highlighted on GONG(0.81):

Clarification: Raben uses unknown data for tracking a regions growth on the farside(is anything but GONG currently available?). So far it has been correct for regions followed closely but that was with SolO also providing data from the farside.

Typo...

Yeah. We have had almost three weeks of C flux background. Was disappointed to see us hit B levels yesterday too. We have a while until Solar orbiter gives us a farside view.
