If you are a part of or run an enthusiast group (e.g., astronomy club, rotary club, etc.), I'd love to share my passion for the aurora and give a talk! Reach out: [email protected].
Fastest coffee shop WiFi I think I have ever seen...
Some big active regions have popped up on the Sun's farside: check out the large group of sunspots near the center of the visible disk as seen from Solar Orbiter. There also looks to be an active region nearing the eastern limb (as seen from Earth) which may help bring up solar activity soon.
Who said you couldn’t see wildlife in the heart of LA? I had this striped visitor who wanted to join me for my morning coffee!
None of these regions, despite looking good visually, are doing much in the way of flaring. That is a bit of a shame, but anything can change in the time these ARs take to rotate onto the Earth-facing disk. Aside from spontaneously decaying, we should see these beefy ARs in a week-ish facing Earth.
