Astronomers are observing a giant prominence and activity in the region of new sunspot groups over the southeastern part of the solar disk.
Today, a powerful prominence has risen above the southeastern part of the Sun's disk, which is clearly visible in telescopes. At the same time, a slow M1 class flare is developing in the neighboring region.
According to preliminary data, the source of activity is associated with a new group of sunspots emerging from behind the edge of the disk. Astronomers note that with further development of the event, it will be possible to observe the flow of plasma between the structures of the corona.
In addition, the activity of the prominence recorded the day before continues to persist. It continues to demonstrate dynamic movements above the Sun's photosphere, creating the effect of a "dance" of plasma flows.
The summary on the website of the E. K. Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG) reports that the M1.1 flare occurred at 7:39 Moscow time in the X-ray range in sunspot group 4188 (S09E88). It lasted 50 minutes. Several weaker flares were also recorded.
