Sunspot AR 3014 is seething with activity. It has already produced some M-Class flares and it's unstable magnetic field may produce X-Class flares in the future. Today's whole disk image shows AR 3014 left of center. I have also posted an image of a looping flare on the Sun's rim.This picture neatly demontrates the looping nature of the force lines in the Sun's magnetic field. The hot plasma erupting from the photosphere is channeled away from and back to the Sun's "surface." All images from 40mm PST-DS and Mallincam DS 2.3+.
