The K-index is indeed high again.

]It is possible that AR4246, which is most active on the far side, will be numbered AR4272. On October 19, when it disappeared from the solar disk, it did so with a weak beta-class magnetic field. It should come as no surprise that once back on the solar disk, AR4246 will cease its strong eruptions, which would also confirm that on the far side it was interacting with 3I/ATLAS.

More like it ...the TC-Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences posted following a previous one related to lack of flash activity index that dropped to zero for the first time since the beginning of the year on the Sun facing earth.

I guess that If they had had other knowledge, they wouldn't be so ...lost.

And here is the answer, is there still energy there. This is not yesterday. This is already today around 7 a.m. Moscow time.

Very close beyond the edge already; it's even strange that it is not visible yet. Who would have thought, when 4246 went beyond the horizon two weeks ago, that it would come back alive.

Sun activity followed Comet 3I/Atlas, which has discharged the solar capacitor. According to the electrical model, the comet should be acting as a "vacuum cleaner", attracting materials from its immediate environment and getting bigger as a result. Hence, its tail drag slows it down a bit.

NASA spacecraft reveal interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS brightened rapidly as it swooped behind the sun

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is briefly out of view as it travels around the sun this week, but researchers and amateur astronomers used spacecraft data to track its progress right up until perihelion.

NASA spacecraft reveal interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS brightened rapidly as it swooped behind the sun

Comet 3I/ATLAS is rapidly brightening as it swings behind the sun, spacecraft observations have revealed.

The comet has been flying around the sun, obscuring it from Earth’s view, to reach perihelion (its closest point to our star) on Thursday (Oct. 29).

Yet, while most of the world has been waiting for it to re-emerge, some researchers and amateur astronomers have been using spacecraft to follow its path.

Anyone know how this could be translated

You can feed the text (Hanzi) in Grok or ChatGPT and it will translate it. If there is a limit of pages/text input, simply break down the text into sections.

somebody already tried translating it, but with GPT model 3.5 and rates the translation as 3/10.
Maybe trying it with GROK would yield better results since those AI models have evolved

Sun activity followed Comet 3I/Atlas, which has discharged the solar capacitor. According to the electrical model, the comet should be acting as a "vacuum cleaner", attracting materials from its immediate environment and getting better as a result. Hence, its tail drag slows it down a bit.

From the article

On Wednesday (Oct. 28), two researchers posted a study to the preprint server arXiv that reported comet 3I/ATLAS underwent rapid brightening ahead of perihelion. The team estimates that, at perihelion, the comet will have brightened to roughly magnitude 9 — still too faint to be seen with the unaided eye, but bright enough to be seen by good backyard telescopes, if it were visible from Earth.

The study relied on space-based solar instruments like GOES-19 and SOHO, and found that the comet was distinctly bluer than the sun, which was consistent with gas emissions contributing substantially to the comet’s increased brightness near perihelion, according to the study's authors. This is expected of comets, which heat up as they approach the sun, causing surface ices to sublimate into gases that wrap around the comet’s body and contribute to its tail. Solar radiation ionizes the gas, causing further brightening.

I found interesting that the authors do not take in consideration the massive explosion on the far side of Sun on October 21-22, it was supposedly to hit 3I/ATLAS on the 24th

t can be noted that, in some scenarios, the solar plasma impact may, on the contrary, stimulate an increase in the body's brightness due to an impulsive increase in the rate of volatile substances escaping from the comet's central regions. It is possible that the object will ultimately appear in LASCO images, where it is currently hidden.

Yeah, these people are like the vaccine harm deniers.

The third CME on October 31

A minor eruption originating from soon to be returning AR 4246 was observed around 20:30 UTC (Oct 31). This registered as a long duration C7 solar flare. A heart shaped CME is seen emerging in the latest imagery courtesy of LASCO C2. SolarHam.com

The first CME occurred around 03:00 UTC.

The second CME occurred around 1145 UTC

No Earth-directed impacts expected.

Only three active regions remain on the solar disk (4261, 4267, 4269) whose magnetic fields do not pose a danger of major M- or X-class flares.

The first of the active regions is now currently appearing over the Sun's eastern limb.

[Puma]

AR4246, which was very active on the far side of the sun, is now beginning its journey across the solar disk as AR4272. What is visible at the moment is a spot with an alpha magnetic field (unipolar) and an area of 50MH (millionths of a solar hemisphere), which is smaller than Earth.

Solar wind flowing from the coronal hole should reach Earth on Nov. 6th according to NASA/SDO

Earlier, an M-class flare was observed, probably from AR4248. It has not yet been assigned a number, but it is possibly AR4273.

FARSIDE SUNSPOTS ARE COMING: Helioseismic maps of the sun's farside reveal three sunspots only days away from turning toward Earth. One of them has been busy hurling CMEs into space ( #1, #2, #3). If this activity continues apace, Earth could soon be in the line of fire. CME impact alerts: SMS Text.

A RARE GOLDEN COMET: Most comets are green, and sometimes blue. In June Lake, California, amateur astronomer Dan Bartlett is tracking a rare golden comet. Introducing, Comet ATLAS (C/2025 K1):

​

"This comet was not supposed to survive its Oct 8th perihelion (0.33 AU)," says Bartlett. "But it did survive, and now it is displaying a red/brown/golden color rarely seen in comets."

What's going on? The chemistry of this Oort Cloud comet is strange. It lacks the carbon compounds normally found in comets, according to spectroscopy by David Schleicher of the Lowell Observatory. "All of the carbon-bearing species, including CN, are unusually low," he wrote in Astronomer's Telegram #17362.

In sunlight, commentary gases turn green because of diatomic carbon (C2), and blue because of ionized carbon monoxide (CO+). Subtracting these colors apparently leaves gold. We don't know exactly why--or if it may have something to do with its recent close encounter with the sun.

"The comet is fairly impressive at 9th magnitude," says Bartlett. That makes it a relatively easy target for backyard telescopes. Point your optics to the boundary between Virgo and Leo in the eastern sky shortly before sunrise. Sky maps: Nov. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

3I/ATLAS has Brightened DRAMATICALLY as the Biggest Burst of Solar Activity in DECADES Ramps Up​

Huge explosions continue on the Sun's farside as the large sunspot groups we've been tracking have begun to multiple, grow larger, and ramp back up in activity, now being just a few days away from appearing on the Earth-facing side of the Sun. All this extreme solar activity - certainly some of the greatest over the past few decades - started exactly after the superior conjunction of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS as viewed from Earth through to its perihelion (closest approach to the Sun). Now 3I/ATLAS has been observed to be moving away from the Sun along its expected trajectory, but solar storm madness may very well soon ensue here on Earth, which can cause power grid and tech outages, demonstrating the potential real-world effects of Interstellar Flybys all without the aliens. Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports.
