INTENSIFYING SOLAR ACTIVITY: A new sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern limb and it is crackling with C-class solar flares, including a C2-flare at 1446 UT, a C6-flare at 1643 UT and a C8.3-flare at 0304 UT the following morning . So far none of the blasts has been geoeffective. The emergence of this new active region interrupts more than two weeks of relative quiet.

  • i understand there being a increase in sun spots as of 5/28/11 can anyone confirm ?

  • @dfhohj sunspot numbers available from solarmonitor website, link in the description box

  • Are you busy enough over there? :D Nice comment about the protective sunshine and "magnetic reversal." Have you heard any news about whether our thermosphere has stopped contracting/shrinking? ... now that our sun is out of a deep sleep?

  • @solarcradle apparently the sun was hibernating for most of May, looks like things are going to step up a few notches based on the G2-Class geomagnetic storm today and new active region making its mark and growing rapidly, have not heard much on the thermo-sphere that would be considered reliable information from anyone as yet.

  • do you have an opinion on what could happen when our megnetosphere weakens to near zero, and is this part of the process we are seeing now with megnetic north moving quite fast towards russia. im wondering if we get a coincidence of the expected mega cme and the supposed magnetic flip?

  • @COUNTCARDULAR a weakened magnetosphere means we would be susceptible to much more solar disturbances, the mega cme scenario i do not believe in, what comes from the sun is not going to harm the earth as the sun is the protector. There is a strong case for a magnetic pole reversal not to be confused with a physical pole reversal.

  • can we nuke the sun?

  • is this bad?

  • @calixtesaint top comment :-D

  • Wow-activity has surely increased.

    Sending positive energy to all in these coming days!

  • ...hope you are ok with having a link to this outstanding edutainment production on screen with my latest wide spectrum edutainment broadcast most respected "solarmate"; as well as linked in under the SHOW MORE button below the view screen ?

    ~for such great works as these require much more than just bulletining out to my network of friends and subscribers as does your stunningly bright example of what must be known for the sake of all making better informed decisions in the times before us all

  • @SolarWatcher Lots of work! I can only imagine how much work you put into doing space weather forecasts, even while the sun is displaying low TSI etc. In the weakest of solar displays there is lots to be said. I look forward to hearing more from your site. ;)

    This month was good for myself to catchup on March and April. April was quite interesting with the long reach of radiant solar fields. Lots of sunspots this month, eh. :)
