🌞 📰 Sun news for June 15, 2024: Sunspot region growing quickly 👏 😎 Thanks to an isolated M flare and a notable flaring increase, sun activity reached moderate levels. Flare production climbed to 26 eruptions over the past day. The flaring increase and the M flare are due to the current stand-out region, AR3712. 🤔 🤩 Since its appearance, the active region has quickly increased in size and magnetic complexity. It has developed a delta region now with a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration

🌞 📰 Sun news July 5: Filaments and prominences all over the sun 🫣 😮 Even with two M flares bringing activity up to moderate, the most exciting part of the sun’s activity over the past day has been its many filaments and prominences. The solar disk is covered with large ropes of dense solar material (plasma) from lower in the solar atmosphere, supported higher in the solar corona by magnetic fields. 🤔 These are filaments, but they’re called prominences when we see them overhanging the sun's

🌞 Sun activity for November 15, 2023: Big Flare day 🤩 🥳 Whoa! A big increase in flaring! The sun produced 29 flares over the past 24 hours, in contrast to 19 the day before. It’s a sizable jump, especially considering that last week’s sun averaged just 5 flares a day. 😎 Elsewhere on the sun, one of the prominences (ropes of solar material and magnetic fields) that we saw yesterday on the sun’s southwest limb (edge) lifted off into space as a billion-ton blob of plasma. 🫣 This coronal mass e

This is the highest resolution image of the Sun’s surface ever taken. The National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope took the images from the summit of Haleakala, Maui, in Hawai‘i. In their announcement the organization wrote, "The images show a pattern of turbulent “boiling” plasma that covers the entire Sun. The cell-like structures — each about the size of Texas — are the signature of violent motions that transport heat from the inside of the Sun to its surface. That
