Another Rise In X-Ray Flux + SIDC Report

 Update:   SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 16 Jan 2012, 1221UT

Solar flaring activity is expected to reach the M-level due to NOAA ARs 1401 and 1402 (no Catania numbers yet) near the north-east limb. However, an Earth-directed CME associated with flares in these active regions is unlikely. 

Whole report can be found here:  http://sidc.oma.be/index.php

We had another rise in X-ray Flux. Couple hours aso a C3.9 peaks a 08:12 and now a C5.5 10:38 UTC.
Both flares located this time at Region 1401. We added a new Vid, including the LDE and the latest Flares, we noticed also another small CME.

Long Duration Flare and CME

At the time of this post we are currently seeing a LDE (long duration event) flare from a new sunspot region located off of the NE limb. New Region 1402 is a large DHO class Sunspot Region with a spot count of 7. This ongoing flare is currently at C 6.4, and the latest Stereo images are showing that a CME is accompanying this event. Pictured below are images from SDO EVE, SOHO, SDO AIA 171 telescope, and Stereo Behind, of this ongoing flare and CME. Images Courtesy of NASA SDO, Stereo, SOHO, and GOES.

Solar Researcher Patrick Geryl Offers $10,000 Reward!

From the following link:
"Independent Solar researcher Patrick Geryl has contacted me to ask if I can help find someone with the necessary skills and qualifications who can convert his static analysis of solar activity changes into a dynamic model and get it published in a recognised astronomical journal.

As a reward for the effort involved, Patrick is offering $10,000 dollars or currency equivalent to the person who steps up and achieves this task. Patrick writes"

Sunspot Region 1401 Keeps On Flaring

    We notice some activity in the X-ray Flux
A new C 2.5 peaks at 00:18 UTC. First SDO images confirms Region 1401. Also LMSAL shows it up:
