Marcel de Bont Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 SpaceWeatherLive Report Analysis of the Solar Activity Solar activity is at moderate levels thanks to sunspot region 2002. It produced 3 M-class flares (all M1) over the past 48 hours. The first two of these flares did not produce a CME and it is likely that it's latest flare also didn't produce a CME. But why is this region so active? It is still rather small! http://www.spaceweatherlive.com/community/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-94-0-85428300-1394397972.jpghttp://www.spaceweatherlive.com/community/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-94-0-16379500-1394397973.jpg Well, this region has a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic layout. It possess a small delta spot in it's intermediate section. This delta structure is fairly compact and this causes the M-class flares. This is a region to keep an eye on over the coming days. Image - it's latest M-class flare. M1.0 at 20:28 UTC: What can we expect in the upcoming 24h? This region will likely continue to develop over the next 24 hours. More low-level M-class flares are very much possible. X-class flares are not to be expected. M-class flare probability: 40% chance X-class flare probability: 5% chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keith Woodard Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Good Day, What is the difference in the type of radiation that is expelled from the sun through a strong solar flare and a CME event? Cheers, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
