here is the last X

X1.9 Flare on 9/24/2011 @ 09:40 UTC - sunspot 1302

oh

thanks nin xoxo

after this latest M4.3 from region 1339, the chance of solar flares from region 1339 has not dropped
in fact, they have gone up some

Sunspot 1339:
63% chance of producing a M Flare
66% chance of producing a X Flare

It's 1339 again. Don't forget last it time sparked up 4 M flares in short order.

Good NIght all

feel a bit tired, cya later

Minor update added at 19:35 UTC on November 2, 2011:
Region 11339 has rotated fully into view revealing what is easily the largest area of any region during cycle 24.
This FKC region spans about 17 degrees longitudinally with nearly continuous penumbral coverage (more than 2000 mills).
There is a significant magnetic delta structure in the central southern part of the region and apparently a few smaller deltas elsewhere in the region.
This region has the potential to release very large flares (class X10+).

well now, that tid bit of info almost deserves a thread of it's own
if anyone goes for it, let us know so we can head over and show our support :)

holy wow!
look at this region!

BIG SUNSPOT:
A large sunspot group is rotating over the sun's northeastern limb, possibly signaling an uptick in solar activity.
Measuring some 40,000 km wide and at least twice that in length, the behemoth active region is an easy target for backyard solar telescopes.
Astronomers are encouraged to monitor the region: NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% chance of M-class solar flares during the next 24 hours.
Eruptions today would not be Earth directed, but future eruptions could be as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead.

Hinode solar space mission celebrates 5-year anniversary. The Hinode (Japanese for "sunrise") spacecraft boasts ground-breaking discoveries about solar mysteries and carries instruments for high resolution images: the X-Ray Telescope (XRT), the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), and the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS).

Launched in the autumn of 2006, it has helped discover the origins of the solar wind and offered the first space-based measurements of the horizontal components of the sun's complex magnetic fields. Hinode has also helped find clues to explain why the corona's temperature is a 1000 times hotter than the sun's surface. In addition, the mission has focussed on the study of coronal holes, x-ray jets, "spicules", and "nano-flares". Interesting read...

WOW!!! That's a big one. Thanks for all the info and links. Glad your feeling better Ninz!!!

i`m not sure yet why this is interesting

oh i know why:



all planetary bodies are expressing environmental changes thus the charge within our heliosphere must be higher

An M2.5 just occurred

Something must be broken ...
