[quote:Hugh M Eye:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxNjQ4NzMxXzI5QjMzRTUy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 6491380:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxNjQ4MTYzX0JFNDdENzg5] [quote:Solar Guardian:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzMxNjQ2OTc2XzM5RkEzNEND] I think that the recent increasing solar activity is really exciting indeed. I'm now literally dancing in glee.:5a: [/quote] But I think the solar activity has reduced then the March'12. Pls let me know if I am wrong. Hugh - Why have they abondoned ? Do you think Solar activity is increasing???. I feel otherwise.an occasional M flare. [/quote] Oh, Lockedhead/Solarsoft? I was just joking because they get sloppy and retarded in their data sometimes. I pointed out that they were over 24 hours behind in their flare list yesterday and hours behind GLP in posting any info on the first M-flare. As far as Cycle 24's activity level, it's too soon to make any judgments. The Helio-eggheads are still publishing papers on the LAST solar cycle. The more I read and the more I observe the Sun, the more obvious it becomes that the Phd's and NASA /NOAA whitecoats aren't really sure about anything concerning the Sun's energies or processes. It's all one theory after another, until the next data set comes along and blows away that theory and they dream up some new theory. I understand that this is the "professional" scientific method at work, but these guys don't impress me with their titles and resumes; and then talk down to the public like they know every thing. They don't...not even close. :rant: Please excuse the rant, but we have to watch solar activity as a kind of weather system-a super-complicated one, driven by electro-magnetism, nuclear forces, electrical currents, and, who knows, maybe even a super-consciousness. My point is, you can have a nice pleasant week of weather and out of the blue hailstones and tornadoes. In 2014, if we're still here, we can look back and have a better analysis of what Cycle 24 was like. There have been cycles in the past which had two separate peaks of activity a year apart. One thing I know is that Old Sol is unpredictable at this point in our human understanding. And I guess that applies to all the further-out stars, too. This is why we observe...to increase our understanding and have fun doing it. [/quote]

We have just had another huge X flare measuring at a X8.2 originating from sunspot 2673
On September 11, 2017

ALL flares recorded ARE Earth facing regardless of where the sunspot is located
-----------
CME FROM X9 HAS ARRIVED!
Issue Time: 2017 Sep 07 2242 UTC
WARNING: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse expected
Valid From: 2017 Sep 07 2255 UTC
Valid To: 2017 Sep 07 2330 UTC
IP Shock Passage Observed: 2017 Sep 07 2229 UTC
On September 6th we have had 2 X flares! A X2.2 at 09:10 utc & a secend larger flare just a few hours later of X9.3 at 12:02 utc. There is a large widespread Earth directed CME associated with this latest X flare as we can see here

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!
