LOOK WHAT'S COMING ROUND THE BEND !!!

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

Just now at 1500z Monday 19/4 a very large active region, which CME'd over the weekend and is just coming in to view at the S.E.Limb.

The attached SDO image will just about allow you to make out the large dark area, which could be a large or very large spot, but another day or two - will confirm that... :hamster: :band :band :band :seesaw :D :band2

At last, another display of what the beginning of SC#25 may have in store for us a little later on.

It is being said elsewhere that Solar Maxima could be as early as 2024, but whether that is really based on some real facts, may well be speculation and I wouldn't lay a bet on it...

CLEAR SKIES

Thanks Franco and it was beaten at the posts, by another newbie as AR2817 in the N.W., but I guess that the S.E. will now be AR2818...
It certainly is well active as previous flaring at the limb.

Cheers
Terry
