Sol in H⍺- 14 August 2021

[Hughsie]

Hazy start to the morning with slow moving high cloud all over the place. Here is a selection of what was visible earlier today.

 

Image 1 - The full solar disc. AR12853 got its spots back and has been producing decent flares whilst AR12855 lost a spot but is still hanging in there. Oooh then there is those nice proms on the Eastern side of the solar disc.

 

Images 2 & 3 - AR12853 classified Axx and located N22W13 on the disc. At the time of imaging it had two spots. It has been producing A class flares but last night SDO detected an increase in strength to C1.5 at 21.05 UT. Here we have both a wide view of the region and a closer inverted version.

          

 

Images 4 - AR12855 classified Axx and located N13E32 on the solar disc. Yesterday it had three spots but one has since decayed. Ar12853 is lurking in the top right hand corner.

     

 

Images 5 & 6 - A prominence on the North East limb and estimate of its height plus a gentle reminder of how insignificant we are.

     

 

Images 7 & 8 - Another prominence this time on the South East limb.

     

 

All the best,
