Big Sunspot 1678 Lets Loose on the Sun's Western Limb

 

  X-ray background levels were on the rise earlier today from what appears to be a LDE flare from big sunspot 1678 that just rotated over the Sun's western limb. The solar flare reached it's highest level of  C4.7 at 16:09 UTC Today.

 

Active Sunspot Approaching the North-East Limb

 

  
   There is an active sunspot region approaching the north-east limb that we have been keeping an eye on.

 This  is the return of old Sunspot 1665 that will be rotating into a Earth facing position sometime during this coming weekend.

This sunspot is an active region that has been producing solar flares on the far side of the solar disk over the last couple of days..

We should know by the end of this weekend if this new region will remain active once it rotates into a Earth facing Position or fizzle out.

 

Bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) observed

 

A bright coronal mass ejection took place from the north-west limb yesterday.

The majority of the cloud is heading north as we will see on the CME prediction model.

However a glancing blow will be possible on February 22nd.
