Northern Lights Now – Active Region 2712 produced a beautiful B class flare On May 24 as it rotated into view in the northern hemisphere of the Sun. The region held together and grown slightly and has now produced a C-class flare that measured C2.77. Today the region has started to develop some mixed magnetic fields and shows potential to produce more C-class flares. It is now in the Earth strike zone.

Keep an eye on this region over the next several days. If it generates an eruptive flare and a CME it could impact Earth’s space weather later this week. Here’s a time lapse of the region show in SDO’s HMI colorized magnetogram.
