What is interesting about it?

Do you know if there are any stats on cme's or if anyone keeps track of them?

I say there will be many major fireworks in the next 12 months despite the solar minimum

Just a little plasma bump. It came in like a CME. Not likely to go into geomagnetic storm.

I don't know where the stats would be, but I am sure someone has them.

It's just that it's hard to count such things as we only tend to talk about the earth facing side of the sun in a time when we can watch it from different angles.

It's a lot easier to get a solar flare count because there is at least a way to quantify it by solar flare size.

Don't you think that cme's are just as important as flares when assessing solar activity?
 Quoting: xenophon


Sure I do. But not every flare will have a CME, and not every CME will have a flare/sun spot.

The NOAA, and NASA CME prediction models both kinda suck.

The CME is the dangerous part, but we don't have the satellite network we need to track them in 4d space.

99% of the time the two are related, making solar flares a good enough indicator of earth directed danger.

Fair enough

I used to monitor the videos around 2011/2013 and there were quite a few cme's without flares from what I can remember
