[quote:zacksavage:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzI4NTI2MTMyXzQwRUE2MkE=] [quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzI4NTE5NzYzXzE1MzA3NENE] Howdy, Zack, good to see you around.:cheers: Things have been really strange on the sun lately. Two new regions numbered yesterday as 1368 & 1369 are now un-employed and have turned in their spots already. Taking their place are 3 new numbered regions:1370, 71, & 72. Formerly large region 1362 near the NW limb has decayed quickly and will soon be leaving us over the limb. Just to the north, active region 1365 looks to be still growing as it nears the limb also. 1364 also has grown and added a few companion spots. Here's the latest NOAA Summary: :Product: Solar Region Summary :Issued: 2011 Dec 08 0030 UTC # Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, # Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force. # Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Region Summary SRS Number 342 Issued at 0030Z on 08 Dec 2011 Report compiled from data received at SWO on 07 Dec I.

Regions Due to Return 08 Dec to 10 Dec Nmbr Lat Lo 1357 N18 330 1359 N17 313 http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/latest/SRS.txt Moving along-- the large southern active region 1363 has diminished greatly (GLP effect?), losing some of its trailing spots, and never living up to all the hype, lol. AR 1367 is small group of spots nearby looks very weak as does new region 1370 just above it. Back to the northern hemisphere--1166 seems stable and some small spots nearby have been numbered 1371 & 1372. Believe it or not there's other tiny spots popping up here and there but none are amounting to much. The new big spot coming over the SE limb and another soon to come over the north side gives us hope for some flare activity . http://sidc.oma.be/html/Solarmap.html http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2011/12/07/20111207_235756_2048_HMII.jpg [/quote] Thank you kindly Hugh. I am having some difficulty in keeping up with the sun activity do to limited net access of late. I am still quite interested. NiN started a great thing with this thread,...great gathering of fine folk. I see she is AWOL for some reason. :cheers: Z [/quote]
