Glad you also mentioned Old AR14118 (gonna start using the full delegated SN as well) because I honestly only could remember Old AR14117.

SWPC abbreviates too. so do we. Even within texts I will just use the last two numbers at times! 😊. I think I started using the full serial after noticing that jester and Philalethes did when starting region threads….

We seem to have a new arrival skimming the NH equator around + one degree and -70 longitude now. Been active for almost 24 hrs now. Hopefully will survive and grow. Latest VM series 12341 on deep flare net. Oh yeah @HereComesTheSun sorry about your Mother Inlaw. 😊

Sharp VM numbers. Inlaws. 🙄

Though there not unumbered thought I'd post this here . it's an SDO composite of the 4 regions now turning away in the northern hemisphere and the magnetogram/Continuum .

I'm amazed at the interplay of the regions in the 171 segment of the image representing the arcing. If it were 3 quarters of it's size as multiple areas it would remind me of images of some powerfully productive areas . I sincerely hope this group of areas perpetuates and returns more compact and more active .

Return of active regions on the eastern limb.

New spot with little Flare C

Possible another spot on the E Limb lat. 15° ~

Yep. Also have been seeing some good loops from SH in last two days.

Really cool coloured displays! 😎

For the last day or so South 14 East 88 or so has been active in C level as I am sure most have noticed. Old 14141 which never produced anything above high C is due. I am hoping this new region spits out our overdue M class at the very least.

Three types of plasma events are occurring :

The typical plasma jet, similar to a spring, the plasma comes out but is not expelled, returning to the active region.

Currently, the active regions are not generating significant flares, but they are generating CMEs:

From an emerging flow without forming an active region, as shown in the animation, with the yellow arrow.

CME from active region without significant flare White arrows . These events are occurring in both numbered and unnumbered regions.

The emerging flux south of AR14165 is worth keeping an eye on.

When it first appeared, the flux was a bit spread out, a little disjointed.
While it may look like a single region now, the magnetogram also suggests it actually began as three separate beta regions that are just very close together, if that makes sense.

As a result, the polarities are pushing against each other, already creating a fairly convincing delta near the middle.
If this area continues to grow, we can expect some interesting complexity out of it.

An active region is about to enter the far side of the northeast hemisphere, which, according to AIA 171

angstroms SDO, appears very active in flares. Analyze the animation in detail.

Rapid growth zone in HMI Cotinuum and H-Alpha animation that should be monitored.

Active region about to enter.

We need all the help available now! 🤣🤣

Active regions visible from the eastern dark side.

Many active regions, which did not generate significant activity in front of our planet, are becoming active from the farside west. We will have to observe whether they remain active until their return, as is the case with AR 4173 and AR 4153, which is about to enter the eastern limbo to re-enter our side.

Active regions on the far eastern limb show flare activity.

Apparently, a lull is expected. It will probably last for about 10 days. Of course, if new active groups do not appear or existing ones do not flare up, which does not seem realistic to me yet. Even the active group 4168, having gone to the west, according to LASCO images, has ceased to manifest itself. But on the 18th-19th, we can probably expect the influence of CH72. In addition, there is a filament in the north, but it looks stable for now. Oh, how boring 🥱

Yeah compared to last year there isn’t as much excitement. Solar orbiter will be showing us the farside again around Aug 20 so that’s coming up 😎

Hi all, I’m super new to all this stuff so I apologise if my post is out of place or unnecessary.

I noticed on the Far side diagram today, there are heaps of regions that are super blacked out compared to what I’ve normally seen. Does this mean good news? Is it a reliable indicator of potentially active regions coming around? Do shorter sound wave travel times indicate higher activity at all? Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. Is this unusual or am I too new to have seen so many blacked out regions in the one diagram?

It means those regions should survive until our side, so we should observe a return in activity in a week or two. AFAIR, when a spot is circled with a PXX, the XX means the probability of the spot surviving until earthside. Of course the spots can be more common when the data is low quality (low duty, 0.92 is high, so it is a reliable data).

Well I see a type II on the board. Hopefully it’s indicative of something coming. The only thing I see as a possibility is on Solar Demon at about -18 latitude uncredited presently on east limb. Some dimming noted around -300 or so. Nothing especially bright in 94 or 131.

Is this a belated message from the C1.30 flare? I can't see anything

I’m as much in the dark as you are tbh. Something produced the Type II unless it’s another older post that got regenerated somehow again. This seems unlikely. But absent any X ray signature I am pretty clueless. Will recheck solar demon. The only candidate I can see is # 30410 on the solar demon list and it’s not on the limb. A weak B Flare. It looks like it might be a new area around -54 long or so in SH. At -17 roughly. Hard to believe tbh. Edit: I remember a similar incident a couple of years ago when we got a Type II from a farside event. I think @Philalethes explained how this might be possible from a CME hitting the corona and the x rays and longer radiation being line of sight wouldn’t be visible necessarily. Hoping I got that right. If not please correct me. No big deal. 😊
