Is the smaller spot on the right 14188, middle top is 14191, and the large spot underneath it is 14170/14161?

This image is from August 5th.

My vision

@Aten Is the picture from Mars really taken yesterday? I can't match the spots. Maybe the picture was taken earlier?

Or did I get it all mixed up?

Well, I think it's fine. We need to consider that Mars's orbit is shifted, and the spots are also shifted accordingly.

One thing worth to mention - farside sunspots (especially the further one) will be seen from Solar Orbiter much quicker (tomorrow?) before they will face us. So we don't have to wait many days until we get full view of them.

Yeah was hoping to see a view from solar orbiter myself. It should be in position by now. Unfortunately latest timestamp is 7/29. Reread the superior conjunction stuff. The 23 is the day we should begin to be seeing data. I was thinking the 22nd for some reason.

I'm confused since the image you posted earlier, and I double checked planetary positions just now to be sure, would imply there's a roughly 45° overlap between our view and Mars.

If so, the region coming into view is unfortunately roughly equivalent to 14191 and not the monster I was hoping for.

Enjoy this breathtaking graphical representation:

I was afraid that after the arcades appeared, this spot would not produce flashes, but no, it is still capable

And it happened exactly when the 20:00 F10.7 was due. I was wondering why it was delayed….

Anyone else having trouble with SDO imagery?

This is what everyone is experiencing. No images are being received in the morning. It may have something to do with the introduction of the new AI, but I don't know for sure.

Looks like Gong is down as well

Here we go, this should be the spots seen from Mars. Old regions 4174 and 4165/4168 are in Mars' view of center-disk.

I had to flip the image from Mars, right? Am I pointing it in the right direction now? The image on the right is from August 5.

I messed up the spot, I should have written 4168 instead of 4169

Close, I think it is this,

100% correct, thank you for clarifying 😉

4172 and 4169 might be shifted north. The low quality makes it hard to tell what is a sunspot there.

It's difficult when this is the source material:

😂

Crossing my fingers extremely hard that we can maybe break the SC25 curse of regions just going silent as they reach the Earth-strike zone. I'm a bit doubtful of us breaking that "curse" as these upcoming regions are quite old, but only time will tell...

SDO restored!

The images have started loading, and the last ones will probably arrive in a while

Filament eruption after a series of flares. It is possible that this is the region that is responsible for the proton flare on the far side with a full halo CME.

09:45UT

It should be spot 4168 and above 4165. It will take about 4-5 days for it to reach geoeffective longitude.

Can anyone help out a newbie here, what is this talk about being down in the mornings, what I look at is never down, and updated every 4 minutes, what am I not understanding?

https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/geo/#/animation?satellite=suvi-goes-19&end_datetime=2025151_1233&n_images=1&coverage=sun&channel=FE171

oh by the way, when you click on the link you have to manually click on the End date/time and choose either the latest or whatever time before it, its the SUVI Goes 19 tab if that ever gets reset…

This is 11.41 UTC 24 Aug

oh.. Insee that the 93Å images are every 2 minutes, here is 11:45 UTC

New active region, entering through the northeast limb, indicated by the white arrow, evidence of a flare.

North 04 Wow! Nice. Soon to be spewing towards us we hope! I watched Tamitha Skovs latest forecast. I am hoping she is absolutely correct and we are looking at an exciting week or two of high level flares and possibly earth directed CMEs.

Checking Solar Demon looks like most of the ejecta was reabsorbed. No dimming from the M 4 alas. But it may still be developing.

Definitely, if these regions continue with their current level of activity we'll get at least a handful of geo-effective CMEs in the coming 1-2 weeks 😎

From early morning, activity behind this distant limbo has shown moderate solar activity, but a few hours later significant events have occurred, as can be seen in the following animation.

Hopefully it can produce another significant CME within the next day or so, even on the limb. At this point it is one and done since the event on the 21st.

I see a huge delta here
