Sol (Sun) and its phenomena

SOLAR CYCLE ACTIVITY REPORT NOVEMBER 24

Solar activity remained at low levels during the past 24 hours. AR3151 continued to be the most active region and the largest event from the same region was a C1.6 class flare at 01:14 on November 23.

There are currently 4 active regions on the solar disk: AR3147, AR3149, AR3151 and new region AR3152

AR3148 is gone and new AR3152 located on the southeast (S26E57) is a group of 3 sunspots with size 10HM and a alfa magnetic field. It poses no threat for strong flares.

BIG FARSIDE SUNSPOT: You might suppose that the farside of the sun is hidden from view. Not so. Researchers using a technique called "helioseismology" can make crude maps of the sun's hidden hemisphere. Their latest map reveals a huge farside active region:​

The black blob is a sunspot group--a big one. In fact, only a handful of sunspot groups in the past 5 years have created a helioseismic echo this large. Don't be surprised if SOHO coronagraphs record a farside CME in the days ahead. SpaceWeather.com​

The total number of sunspots has increased to 68 (28 of these are grouped into 4 active regions) NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 45% chance for C flares, 10% chance for M flares and 1% chance for X flares.

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT NOVEMBER 25

The lowest solar activity level of the year was recorded on November 24. Only B-class flares. The largest event of the period was a B9 flare from AR3151 it occurred at 06:23 UTC on November 24. The rest of the period was characterized by a prominence eruption in the northwest, a plasma filament in the northeast, some coronal mass ejections and a surprising partial solar eclipse.

A partial solar eclipse (the moon crossing from upper right to lower left) was seen by the geostationary satellite GOES-16 at 10:44-12:04 UTC on November 23 Next, an eye-catching prominence eruption was observed on the northwest side of the Sun from 14:00-18:20 UTC

Some people dedicated to spreading conspiracy theories about what they call Nibiru or planet X uploaded to social networks the video of the solar eclipse as a sign that NASA hides the passage of the celestial body through the solar system.

SOLAR CYCLE 25 ACTIVITY REPORT NOVEMBER 27

Only class B flares were recorded in the past 24 hours. The most active region was AR3152 , however, the largest event of the period was a B6.9 flare from the AR3149 at 10:49 UTC on November 26. There was an eruption of a magnetic filament located in the southeast and an associated Earthward-pointing CME.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT DECEMBER 01

Solar activity in the past 24 hours was low characterized by many C-class solar flares from AR3151 which has already left the solar disk. The largest event of the period was a C3 at 16:17 on November 30. As mentioned above. old regions AR3140, AR3141 and AR3145 from earlier in November are about to turn back into view from behind the northeast limb, so the beginning of December will see a potential influx of sunspots.


Only AR3152 (N27W25) remains in the solar disk with 2 sunspots and stable magnetic field. The total number of sunspots has decreased to 12

NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 35% chance for C flares, 1% chance for M flares and 1% chance for X flares.

SOLAR CYCLE ACTIVITY REPORT DECEMBER 02

Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a M1 event observed at 07:21 UTC on December 01 from Region 13152 (N28W38). The M flare produced a Minor R1 Radio blackout over Indian Ocean

There are currently 4 numbered sunspot regions on the disk: AR3152 and new regions AR3153, AR3154 and

Region 13153 located on the southeast (S17E70) is a group of 2 sunspots with a area of 270HM and beta magnetic field. It has already produced a C3.7 flare and NOAA forecasts 35% chance for C class flares.

BIG SUNSPOT ALERT: A new sunspot (AR3153) is rotating over the sun's southeastern limb, and it is a big one. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is seeing at least two dark cores significantly wider than Earth. So far the sunspot's magnetic field appears to be cleanly separated into + and - polarities--no mixing. This means it poses little threat for explosive solar flares. However, this could change. The sunspot is rapidly growing, doubling in size since yesterday, so its magnetic architecture may soon be quite different. SpaceWeather.com

AR3154 is a small region of 40HM located on the southwest (S38W07), three sunspots compose it and they have a beta magnetic complexity. NOAA forecasts 15% chance for C-class flares

AR3155 located on the northeast (N22E17) is a smaller region of 10HM and a beta magnetic field. NOAA forecasts 10% chance for C class flares

A new sunspot is rotating over the sun's northeastern limb

The total number of sunspots has increased to 49 (9 of these are grouped into 4 active regions) NOAA forecast for the next 24h is 60% chance for C flares, 15% chance for M flares and 5% chance for X flares.

SCARIEST PART OF A SOLAR MICRONOVA: Q&A 12/01/22 FROM SUSPICIOUS OBSERVERS

Historical patterns suggest that the nova shell discharge (the arch discharge down from the sky, called the Cosmic Thunderbolt) will hit over the West Pacific area. Europe and Africa will be hit with the flash.

Last time in history, Asia took the flash and the Americas took the shell discharge.

 
Found this one through Suspicious Observers as well, very intersting phenomenon of plasma discharge outside. Hope this is the right topic to post this in.


It is called St Elmo's fire.

And to be honest - it is pretty stupid being located on a mountain, when you have this kind of electrical discharge in the air - because the risk for lightning is (usually) imminent !

But the video is really awesome, do doubt ! To see it like that, up close.

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest solar event of the period was a C8 event observed at 09:20Z UTC on December 02 from new active region 13156 (N25E61).

There are currently 5 numbered sunspot regions on the disk: AR3152, AR3153, AR3154, AR3155 and new region AR3156

AR3156 located in the northeast (N25E61) is a large sunspot with an area of 180HM with alpha magnetic field. It has already produced a C8 flare and NOAA forecasts a 30% chance of C-class flares.

Region 13153 located on the southeast (S17E70) is a group of 2 sunspots with a area of 270HM and beta magnetic field

AR3153 has grown in size and magnetic complexity. This region now has an area of 750HM and its magnetic field is beta-delta. NOAA forecasts a 60% probability of generating C-class flares, 20% for M-class and 5% for X-class.
