Nearly gone

For those with rain, like me.

I'm staking out the x ray flux monitor.

There is officially one and a half hours left for some action before I head out and that will be the last I will see of it.

Cloudy (as usual) here as well so thanks for that.

Do you think it's big enough to come round again ?

Not to clued up on Solar Dynamics

I'm not terribly clued up myself but I think it's hard to say.

The last couple of days it does appear to have started breaking up a bit quicker, I have no idea if it can reform again. My guess is we will probably see something on the return, maybe a handful of smaller ARs.

[davkt]

Yep we will have to wait and see, some sunspots can last for weeks but its wait and see to find out if this is one of those.

There were lots of post flare loops on GONG at lunchtime too, everyone in the north and east would have got a good view

It is certainly large enough to come round again, put 12th Nov in your diaries, but I expect it will be a collection of small spots, but still will be a large area of decaying plage in Calcium K. The Calcium K plage can persist for over a month after the spots have decayed.
