NEW - AR2921 HAS EVEOLVED - TUESDAY 28-12-2021

Post by EGRAY_OBSERVATORY »

Well as James has reported an M-Class flare has occurred this morning, but not from the AR2916 complex.

But AR2921 is the newbie in the far North-West, so although showing as large pair of dark-spots, might be very active before it disappears over its' nearby limb..

Oh yes Alexandra and as said elsewhere on SC over the Xmas period, perhaps the money being wasted on unnecessary space-traveller's joy rides should or could be spent on a replacement for the aging SDO and STEREO satellites...??

Thanks for the comment

James has reported that AR2916 has thrown out a C-Class flare at last from that previously quiet AR..
