We also saw a large filament eruption on the sun’s southeast quadrant yesterday, starting at around 2:30 UTC on November 4. For comparison, see the labeled sunspot image below. It’s really a line of activity, dotted by sunspots. The sun looked as if it had a line of fire across its northern hemisphere, both yesterday and as of early today. Why are east and west on the sun reversed? Sun activity November 5: A ‘line of fire’ today Today’s sun is posted by Armando Caussade. Courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams, with labeling by EarthSky. Original image, without labels, via NASA SDO. Today’s sun activity with the most active regions labeled (4 UTC on November 6, 2022). The solar wind impact from the newer coronal hole – after it passes the sun’s disk center – could provide slightly higher geomagnetic activity on November 8. November 6-7 are expected to have quiet to unsettled conditions as coronal hole effects wane. Next expected CME: No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in the past day.Ĭurrent geomagnetic activity: Quiet. Next 24 hours: The forecast is for a 50% chance for C flares, a 5% chance for M flares, and a 1% chance for X flares. The sun has 7 labeled active regions, mostly in a line across the northern hemisphere. This event, a C1.2, occurred at 1:13 UTC from sunspot region AR3141. Last 24 hours: Sun activity is very low with only B flare activity except for one small C flare. During Tuesday morning’s lunar eclipse, the moon will be near Mars. The sun’s light is what illuminates them. And, of course, it’s the sun that enables us to see the moon and planets in our night sky. We are just under two days away from a total lunar eclipse visible to most in the Americas and on other parts of Earth. In the meantime, we can get ready for one of the great sun-related spectacles. today – we might say that it’s sleeping in today. If the sun followed a time change – like some of us in the U.S. The current sunspot regions have very low magnetic potential for flaring. And it’s even lower this weekend, with only one small C flare in the past day. Today’s top news: Sun activity has been low in the past few days. Even when the sun is quiet … it’s still mighty! Thank you, Randall! Sun activity November 6: Quiet, but mighty | Randall Kayfes in Tucson, Arizona, captured this hydrogen-alpha filtered view of the sun on November 4, 2022.
