The Watchers by Teo Blašković 11/28/2020
Although solar activity remains at low levels, Active Region 2786 -- the biggest sunspot in years -- has produced multiple C- and B-class flares since November 25. Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were also observed, but none was Earth-directed. While we are still experiencing solar minimum effects, solar activity is ramping up as we head deeper into Solar Cycle 25.
In total, Active Region 2786 produced 17 B-class and 8 C-class flares from November 25 to 08:00 UTC on November 28, with the strongest being C3.8 at 12:53 UTC on November 26.
The region currently has Beta-Gamma magnetic configuration and is capable of producing even stronger eruptions. Its position currently favors Earth-directed CMEs.
