Guest GDMorgan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Is that 2428 that is returning on the eastern limb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Region 2428 was"t big and was already in faculae when it left the visible disk. It could be however that it revive as it is near where it was expected to possible return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz Mielec Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It may be old 2428 and next will be 2422. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GDMorgan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 2422 was Beta-Delta when it left the limb right? It should have decayed by now I would have imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel de Bont Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 2422 was Beta-Delta when it left the limb right? It should have decayed by now I would have imagined.Let's dig in our sunspot archive to find out:http://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/region/12422Seems NOAA classified it as Beta during the last 2 days but this might be due to them not being able to analyse it accurately. It was in a state of decay as it rotated towards to the limb so I guess there will be very lite (if anything) left from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GDMorgan Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks for the info, and no, I am not danderson, I was just curious because I know (from reading) that delta phage sunspots rarely last more than one solar rotation and I thought it would have been unusual for it to have lasted into coming back. I just was hopeful in case it could spark some more flares for auroras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danderson500 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 what surprises me is that 2334 is doing m stuff even though there isn't much dark red stuff out there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 You mean 2434 I assume. It is indeed not overly complex but it does have some magnetic mixing. Doubt we will see much more than the M1 solar flares that we have had thus far but love to be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
