Has anyone else noticed the two regions that popped up in the last 12 hours at the same'ish latitude as 3664? Neither of them have numbers yet but they're rapidly growing. No deltas yet

What do you mean with "rapidly" ? Ill take a look  thanks for the post!

Run the 2-day movie and you can see how fast they both pop up.

Due to the zoomed picture i dont really know what region to watch. Can you tell me if its in the northern or southern hemisphere?

i suppose the one you posted is the one more eastern to CM?

Sorry, I edited my post to include both. They're on the Southern hemisphere at roughly the same latitude as 3664.

Farside sunspot regions growing

Something just erupted on the farside again, seen behind east limb

Also I noticed that another  new region seems to have appeared and also looks like a BGD   3675. Unless there are errors it was around  south 10 west 38 from memory. Edit:  I just checked Solar Soft and see nothing noteworthy yet.  Was going to create a topic but suspect either misattributed flare or imagery issue.  Mike Edit again our background flux has been so darned high @cgrant26visual idea may be the only way we may tell what the region is really doing!!  Nvm. Everything is down from activity fuggetaboutit haha

Several CME's has been going off from behind the limb, now a M 2.4 flare from behind there too. (likely bigger)

Got so used to 3664's rapid fire flare fest that I was surprised to see something from somewhere else, lol

Looks like that flare might be throwing out a CME too.

Probably that big region in the middle on farside imagery, It's been looking promising.

I don't know. That stuff coming around the limb looks like pure fire. Intense. Cycle 25 is nowhere near over.  Whoo hoo!

As a certified beginner, which limb do you call the far side ?

Far side is simply the side of the sun not facing the Earth. Limbs are just the East and West sides that are tangent to the Earth's viewpoint. East and West on the Sun are opposite from what they are on Earth though so East would be the left limb and West would be the right limb.

Amen!!  Outta reactions haha but agree!!  In fact, I would be surprised if we didn’t break January 15 2023  Prior high flux record of 234 very soon.  Edit again. I was trying unsuccessfully to locate the post-flare arcades video production that @KW2P posted in another thread awhile back but it might be gone for good. It showed dripping plasma not unlike the lake of plasma we presently see on the east limb.  Anyone else know the title of it?  Tnx. Mike.

Flux. (What else do hams think about obsessively) haha

I do wonder are we gonna see this all over again in a couple weeks time. Might still be just enough darkness here in the north to see aurora for an hour at midnight. 😅

Maybe it's best we don't send anything to L3, the suspense is half of the joy. 🙂

Is the CME from there? Thanks for the info, I did not notice it was this region

CME did not come from the M 2.4, came from another region further back, but seen like 2-3 behind there during the night

Both continue to grow. Especially the left one. If I am correct, the left one now even has a small delta in the middle of the sunspot.

Thanks for specifying:)

 

Does someone knows / has an idea where the CME starting at ~5UT comes from?

Unfortunately that region of the sun is pretty well lined up with the full moon. It's close to the old twin regions 3590/3614 and 3615. Not ideal like this weekend was

i think there is an m class flare from the incoming limb, i have to await more imagery. thought its 3664 again since its very agleam too but i tend to the incoming limb

Rats.  Killer 🐝 are just like our BZ. We don’t want ya north doggone it!  Head south please!    Bzzzzzz.  

so first m flare was incoming limb. 2nd was 3675 in combination (and i think 3664 was contributing more) with 3664

Interesting. These incoming ones look really promising on sdo already. Honestly feels like we may be at solar maximum this mouth or within the next couple months at this point.
