New region, it is about to enter the north-eastern limb and as seen, it has huge loops.

It's old 4043 Which got its act together on the farside We'll see what its capable of Soon.

There quite a few regions that rotation and it still looks like there's a lot of coronal loops mixed with the open loops.

New region in this area.

I'm curious about the region S5-10 that is approaching together with old 4043, it's had 3 fairly energetic eruptions in the last 24 hours.

Edit: Whats up with all the gaps in GOES-18's SUVI today?

I didn't see any data gaps in the last 12 hours. I checked xray flux and mag data and there isn't gaps there either. What site were you using?

M 4.4

With CME https://helioviewer.org/?movieId=ZzxW5

Edited April 19Apr 19 by Jhon Henry Osorio Orozco

So was that a filament that got blown out or just a funny looking flare?

I don't remember seeing one quite like that before?

Entonces, ¿se trató de un filamento que se quemó o simplemente de un destello de aspecto extraño?

¿No recuerdo haber visto uno igual antes?

If there was a flash, but it was too far back, it was very small.

South 26 East 88. Complete with a Type II radio sweep. Lasco should show us a definite CME from that little ejection I should imagine

South 26 sounds like last month too….hmm. Edit: I checked our “ regions due to return”. Nothing

i dont know if im fully correct but i believe its a filament since usually a cme has a sort of circle shape like this

(3889 on the limb)

meanwhile this CME is very small and concentrated


Here is another example of a filament erupting

Feel free to correct me though but that is my guess

My money is on a new AR behind the limb but haven’t looked at the 48 hr 131 movie yet.

I agree @yahya it looks weird. We are probably both correct. An eruption spewed a filament also. Those events are certainly common.

Hey @yahya have a look at the 48 hr 131 å run see whatcha think.

Better not be a magnetically caged region. We outlawed those after AR 3590. 🤣🤣🤣

Seems like a new region, should be 4068 i believe it will cross the limb by tomorrow

WOW! This is a very interesting case, because it proves that flares and filament eruptions can throw CMEs toward the earth at a very sharp angle.

Quick video of the M flare and ejection seen behind the east limb , which seems to head off at a strange angle . Looks like the spot it originates from is another very far south example . Looking forward to seeing it turn into view

18th at 11:52-12:16, 12:28-13:04 etc

Unfortunately I can't use Helioviewer on tablet, otherwise that'd be my go-to 😀

Edit: The M4.4 eruption is estimated at 1079km/s. If it's headed our way it should hit around Sunday at 15:00UTC +- a few hours.

4064 and 4062/6 both look like there fading out slightly now over the past 24 hours which is a shame . Here's there updated ' last 24 hours ' vids

4064

4062/6

Emerging flows, which could generate new active regions.

Was rewatching the video of the ejection from around the limb before . Had to make this slow mo version when I saw the actual frames of the ejection . Amazing to see the spiraling intertwined energies flying through space , the same can be seen in the LASCO data from the earlier vid . Looks like the sun can throw a good curve ball anyway lol .

Not sure why SSEC is struggling like this. The gaps are similar for GOES-18 and the newly added GOES-19, and the timeframes missing on SSEC is available through Helioviewer 🤔 (Not JHelioviewer though)

In the 304 angstroms of the Nooa, activity is observed over the northern hemisphere, on the hidden face with respect to the earth.

As always the eastern edge is very active, but once it turns toward us it all calms down. Today no SDO images are received from the image, or they are received, but not processed and not posted to the public. GOES has gaps too, I can't see how an interesting filament has formed that stretches out to the side, also on the eastern edge of the sun's disk.

Yes nothing since about 0500 UTC on site or available on jhelioviewer . Obviously taking it's Easter holiday lol

New fulguration event after the southeast limb with class M 1.0 moderate.

This area, so far this day, has maintained a state of visible energy channeling, which if it continues, in this activity, could give us a good show on our side.

Judging by this you probably won't see another one for another few years.

Looks like this cycle is a bit of an outlier, seeing yet another region emerging far south.
