SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

look at 54

Where's the "hangers" of the good old days Nin ??? LOL

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. The largest
events of the period were several C2 solar flares from Region 1654
(N08E46). These solar flares were difficult to discern due the elevated
background x-ray flux levels currently being measured by the GOES 15
spacecraft. Since Region 1654 has rotated onto the visible disk,
background x-ray flux has increased from low B-class to low C-class
levels. 10cm radio flux levels have also increased from around 140 sfu
to almost 170 sfu with the arrival of Region 1654. Region 1654 is
currently classified as an Eki Beta group and is the largest region on
the disk. SDO magnetogram and intensitygram imagery suggest magnetic
complexity emerging in the intermediate spots of this region but more
data is needed to be able to ascertain the severity of these changes

Region 1652 (N20E11) is
currently magnetically classified as a Beta-Gamma-Delta group which is
the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk.

well, we have 1652 that is now BGD
-Region 1652 (N20E11) is
currently magnetically classified as a Beta-Gamma-Delta group

and 1654 that most of us agree is a BGD, but NOAA says they still need more data to class it

that makes 2 BGD spots, both earth facing, and both in close proximity to eavch other

1652 and 1654 both show signs of growth, neither show signs of decay

hahaha i know
we just may be about ready to see a comeback
these spots show potential ^^

Did they label them as 2 separate spots, as I had suggested before, or did they just give it one number?

I believe she is referring to the spots 52 & and 54. As long as 54 shares the same penumbrae, it is a single solar region, with multiple umbra.

one spot
1654

What is causing this?

And yes it was me that thought 1654 looks like it is decaying...just seems smaller and less dense. Just looks that way to me. Still looks BGD for sure, lol.

What you are seeing as "decay" is growth as a result of instability in the leading umbra.



On a side note, why is the interior of the sun dark.

Here's a great write up on (caution) "The Electric Sun" theory that I have been trying to digest this morning. Third read and still getting something out of it.

It discusses what creates a CMEs and discharges, the dark of the interior, etc

Looking at the magnetogram from right before the flare, the leading spot of 1654 has had a huge change.the negative is now surrounded by positive.

Interesting TS,...I will give it a shot later.
