FARSIDE SOLAR ACTIVITY

Solar activity has been very low for more than two weeks. A change could be in the offing. During the early hours of August 3rd, a new active region on the farside of the sun announced itself with a bright CME. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, SOHO, recorded the eruption. This is a still from the SDO movie.



The CME is not heading for Earth. It is billowing away from the sun's farside, well off the sun-Earth line.

What's next? Because the blast site is hidden behind the sun's limb, we cannot yet inspect it and assess its potential for future eruptions. However, it should rotate into view in the days ahead, possibly bringing an end to two weeks of quiet.
