A storm indeed.
It will be a real nail biter til it's disappeared past the 4 o'clock mark on the solar disc... IMO.

Can't say I've seen a sunspot that huge in a hot minute... surprised it's not being discussed more, it's remarkable.

I personally don't think so, but how could I say for sure? It very well may be.

Dude holy crap, this sunspot coming around at 10 o'clock looks even bigger than AR3363... https://i.imgur.com/3HpllS2.jpg I don't think there's necessarily a ton of correlation between the size of the sunspot and X class flare capability... Still always amazing to see these huge sunspots though, solar cycle 25 is absolutely fabulous so far. Solar cycle 25 is supposed to be the last cycle before TEOTWAWKI in cycle 26, according to Diehold Foundation. I dunno if I believe that, but I do find it interesting as a microcosm of the alleged 26,000 year cycle of destruction.

Check this shit out...
https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data The hell is going on with the sun scopes right now?? They're almost all off center... https://i.imgur.com/Vl9plAq.png https://i.imgur.com/Jzu2MA9.png https://i.imgur.com/FWlki02.png 193 is literally a blur... https://i.imgur.com/BNzKgxk.jpg I've never seen them do this before. The HMI Magnetogram looks normal... https://i.imgur.com/TKyUN2z.jpg AR3372 is coming around into view pretty well now and yeah, it's fucking huge and hyperactive... Quote:New sunspot AR3372 is seething with activity. In the last 24 hours alone it has produced eight M-class solar flares (graph) To the extreme ultraviolet telescopes onboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, it looks like the northeastern limb of the sun is on fire: https://spaceweather.com/images2023/12jul23/flame2.jpg https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=12&month=07&year=2023 Doesn't really explain the scope strangeness though.

We've still got a few days to go on 3363 so... it's just a high activity time for sunspots, I think the chances of X class flares are pretty substantial from what we're seeing on the solar disc right now.

There's not a ton of filament activity with 3363, which makes it less dangerous...
https://i.imgur.com/1vFKg9F.jpg As you can see though, there's a lot of filament activity around 3372 which leads me to believe it's a bigger threat than 3363 is even though technically 3363 is larger.
07-12-2023, 04:14 PM
3372 may be slightly larger actually... dunno, it's too early to tell at this point.
07-12-2023, 04:16 PM
This actually shows the potential filament activity around 3363 vs. 3372 better...

Solar cycle 25 is about to be historical.
I just wonder how it's gonna compare to the height of solar cycle 23 (Oct. 2003)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycl...nspots.JPG I mean we're seeing some pretty epic and comparable activity already and we're not even to the good shit yet. |
