USAF/NOAA Report, New Sunspots numbered

 

   UPDATE-22:35 UT - USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity 13 January 2012

Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours. A filament channel eruption was observed around 12/2130Z in the northern hemisphere around Region 1396 (N26E18). In connection with this event, a CME was observed in LASCO C2 imagery at 12/2136Z.

 

Sunspot Update , Disturbance + Solar activity

 
    We need another Update one reason is the fresh numbered Region 1396. Its rapidly growing, as we can see on the posted vid below.  The Region to the southeast we talked about this before, will  get numbered soon (possible 1397). And a new Region close to the south of Region 1395 emerged. And finally we can see the active Region which produced the long duration flare on SDO images. Its just behind the east limb and will rotate in soon.

Solar Update Jan. 13th 2012 - New Sunspot + Prominence

 
    The new Sunspot to the east (close to 1395) gets numbered over night as Sunspot Region 1396.

We noticed some changes at Region 1391. There was a quick development in the southern part of the leading spot section. We can also see that the magnetic structure formed as well. Reporting Soleninfo  a chance of  M flare is given from this region.

Region 1395 decayed a bit and produced a C 1.5 at 00:58 UT. Another flare comes from that incoming region which produced the  long duration flare yesterday. A new Region emerged to the southeast.

Prominence Lift Off on the North Limb, CME

UPDATE 23:30 UT

What a day. After this long duration event we notice a pretty new one.

We have a large filament lift off  to the north limb

This produced a CME as we can see on STEREO:
