Still no “State of the Sun” but we do have:

CME WATCH - 2023.03.21: We start where we left off yesterday with the double CME (NE/SW) about 8s in. Note the continuous outflow from the NE for hours after the event. Then there's a faint, slow CME off the NE limb, followed by an intense, fast CME off the SW limb.

DIVORCE: Two sunspot regions, one in the south and one in the north connected by trans equatorial magnetic loops. Classic. But note how they disengage & go their separate ways. There may even be some sort of ejecta from the northern part of the structure as the process continues.

THE SUN TODAY:

1) SSN up to 100.

2) Only flare of note was a C5 flare yesterday from the complex of spots in the SE.

3) More regions behind the East limb both N & S.

4) Losing AR3251 over west limb. A newly numbered region AR3261. A large spot on the SE limb.

5) 8 CMEs yesterday.

Sun continues active. Does this affect weather and climate on Earth tho? See the video in the GSM thread stickied above.

THE SUN TODAY:

1) Sunspot number still at about 100.

2) No significant flares in the last day.

3) Some regions behind the east limb but don[’]t seem very significant.

4) Some healthy sized spots and a couple of new regions emerging (white). Newly numbered region AR3262.

5) 12 CMEs.

Looks like we missed a great auroral display:

STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS: A G3 (kP=7) is happening now. Probably due to a sudden increase in Solar Wind density coupled with -ve Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field. Expect some nice aurora at latitudes as low as 50.

A BEAUTIFUL SURGE: A small region on the SE limb of the Sun is just becoming visible. It just produced this elegant jet. It was quite large - compare it to size of the Earth (inset). Note that it was not fast enough to escape the Sun's gravitational pull, most plasma falling back

CME WATCH - 2023.03.22: Sorry, this late but my internet went down last night. A lot of activity primarily on the NE limb and a bright event off the SW limb otherwise several small dim CMEs and continuous out flows particularly at high latitudes.

CME WATCH - 2023.03.23: No spectacular CMEs in the lats two days. In particular, nothing much going on at all off the west limb. 4 or 5 CMEs off the east limb but all very modest in size and speed beside those would be too far east to affect the Earth.

THE SUN TODAY:

1) SSN drops to 140.

2) No significant flares in the last day (again).

3) No new regions behind the east limb.

4) Several nice prominences. Sunspot groups seem stable, with just a couple of small ones emerging (white). New region AR3264.

5) Only one CME yesterday.

STRANGELY QUIET! Yesterday the Sun produced no C flares, the first time since November 2022. It is odd that with so many large spots & regions that it is not producing more & larger flares. Is this the end of the first peak of this cycle, or is it "recharging" for a new burst?

CME WATCH - 2023.03.25: About halfway through we see a very bright "bubble" CME off the W limb (the one we saw the start of yesterday. Note the continuing outflow after the main shock front has gone. There is a less spectacular event off the NE limb associated with the streamer.

THE SUN TODAY:

1) SSN up to 155.

2) No significant flares (i.e., >C5) in the lats day.

3) No major regions due back for at least 3 days.

4) Several large spot groups but not producing any significant activity. They seem to be content to remain stable, not growing or decaying. Odd

Still plenty of mystery about that ball of “fire” hanging in our skies!

CORONAL HOLE ALERT: A small coronal hole (the dark area just east of Sun center) is about to rotate into the western hemisphere of the Sun where it can become geoeffective. However, it does not have a large east-west extent so probably won't cause a significant geomagnetic storm.

Well, seems some trouble in the solar observatory but enjoy the movie:

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: We have been starved of SDO data for the last 2 days (when will they fix it?) but this is a 48-hour movie in He II 304A (50,000K) which shows the Sun has been busy despite the lack of big flares. Watch the movie focusing on each quadrant. Enjoy!
