Here are today’s solar images taken from Al Sadeem Observatory, January 24, 2018.
The sky was clear but with light to moderate air turbulence making the seeing and transparency average at the time these images were taken.
Solar activity remains at very low levels over the past 24 hours. No active sunspot regions currently exist on the Sun’s visible disk with no flaring activity recorded throughout the monitoring period. The latest sunspot number (based on visual count and Wolf number calculation) is 0. Nothing much happening with the Sun lately except for some eruptive prominences distinctively captured in H-alpha imagery.
Space weather agencies* forecast solar activity to remain at very low levels with chances of weak X-ray fluxes or flares ranging up to B-class intensity. Close monitoring is being conducted by numerous space weather agencies for any significant development.
