[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMwNzcwMDY2XzIwRDBDMzFG] At 147, this is the highest Sunspot Number we've seen for at least a couple of months and probably for 2012. When the Behemoth 1429 was menacing us back in early March, the SS # only got up to 86. [b]UPDATE:[/b]Out of curiosity I downloaded the Official SIDC Sunspot Numbers for 2012. And this is by far the largest number. The highest SS# this year was a 95 on Jan. 16th and the lowest was a 09 on Feb. 8th. AR1463 is leaving us now over the limb, soon to be followed by 1462. By way of correction, the CME I posted about earlier was caused by a filament eruption and seemed to be aided by C-flare from 1463. Originally I incorrectly thought the flare produced the CME; but after reviewing the highlight reels, it seems that the prominence was already on the move before the flare. SDO/AIA close-up movie of 1463's C1.8 flare coinciding with nearby filament activity: http://sdowww.lmsal.com/sdomedia/h264/2012/04/22/SSW_cutout_20120422T1354-20120422T1428_AIA_304-193-171_S28W84.mov As the aforementioned active regions leave the scene, we a new growing region (1466?) in the NE. Also two more active regions are soon coming over the eastern horizon--one in the south and one in the north. The SDO 171a image shows a definite trans-equatorial connection between the two. http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2012/04/22/20120422_224501_2048_0171.jpg [/quote]

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
