Sun activity archive for October 2023
Sun Sunspot group AR3474 has grown over the past several days and is now larger than Earth, sitting near the solar disk’s center. This is a great location to throw coronal mass ejections (CMEs) our way, which could then bring geomagnetic storms and auroras! The region showed an increase in flaring after developing a small delta region (meaning it has the potential to produce powerful flares), although it has since lost this region and returned to a minor magnetic complexity.
Sun activity archive for August 2023
Sun Sun activity is low. But our friend the sigmoid, or S-shaped filament, erupted again, producing a bright flare and sending some ejecta into space. And we’ve seen an intricate dance around the sun’s north pole, involving a solar tornado. As described in this article in Science, solar tornados are blisteringly hot and about a thousand times larger than their earthly counterparts. A solar tornado results from the forces in the solar corona flinging a filament around.

Sun activity for July 16, 2023: Cannibal CME and backside activity The July 14 dark spray coronal mass ejection (CME) event is expected to overtake a July 15 CME. This is often called a cannibal CME. Neither event has a strong Earth-directed component.

Sun activity: Action on the edges of the sun
Today’s top news: Is the sun waking up? We have been waiting for the spewing solar wind from a large coronal hole to light up our magnetic field, but the sun itself has been pretty quiet. That may be about to change. There is a lot of activity on the edges. We can see several large eruptions on the west limb (edge). However, this area will soon rotate completely out of view. But a new region (not yet numbered) in the northeast has been popping off flares and jets over the last 24 hours or so.
