ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Sunspot AR2822 continues to be active, producing more than half a dozen C-class solar flares in the past 24 hours. The following image shows why. The sunspot, inset on a magnetic map of the sun's surface, is a hodge-podge of magnetic polarities:

Positive and negative magnetic fields are bumping together. When magnetic field lines criss, cross, and reconnect--boom! The result is a solar flare.

So far the flares from AR2822 have done little to affect Earth (beyond some relatively minor shortwave radio blackouts). This could change in the week ahead. AR2822 is rotating to face Earth, and our planet could soon be in the strike-zone for coronal mass ejection (CMEs). Stay tuned.

Filament Eruption / 2822 Minor Eruption (UPDATED)
May 9, 2021 @ 15:20 UTC

A filament located near center disk erupted beginning at 10:00 UTC today (May 9). Here is a look at the event using the SDO/AIA 304a channel. Imagery courtesy of STEREO Ahead shows a coronal mass ejection (CME) leaving the Sun and could possibly have an Earth directed component. This will only be confirmed once updated Earth facing coronagraph imagery is available.

It should also be noted that a long duration C-Class eruption was observed around AR 2822 and may also be associated with a CME. More to follow on this if necessary.

UPDATE: In the GIF image below, two CMEs are visible. The first was the result of the filament eruption and the second as a result of a long duration C-Flare around AR 2822. More to follow regarding any possible Earth directed component.
