Updated 06/27/2014 @ 12:10 UTC Increased Activity Ahead? Good morning. Solar activity on the Earth facing side of the sun remains fairly quiet. All visible Earth facing regions, including newly numbered sunspots 2099 and 2100 remain stable. There will remain a chance for minor C-Class flares around these regions. The chances for stronger flares may increase starting this weekend when one or more regions return into view off the east limb. We wont know for sure until we have a look at what remains of the former active regions. We do know that old region 2082 behind the northeast limb was responsible for an eruption last night that produced a bright non Earth directed coronal mass ejection (CME). Attached are four images related to space weather during the past 24 hours. Stay tuned for the latest information. 1. An updated image of the visible solar disk on Friday. The SolarHam Sunspot Map has been updated. solarham.net/regions/map.htm 2. LASCO C2 coronagraph image capturing a coronal mass ejection (CME) following an eruption behind the northeast limb. 3. Updated image courtesy of the GOES-15 Solar X-Ray imager. This shows the possibility of increased activity approaching the east limb. 4. Magnetic coronal loops towering above a potential active region still located behind the northeast limb. Image courtesy of the Solar Dynamics Observatory
