LUNAR TRANSIT OF THE SUN: Yesterday, Nov. 22nd, the Moon passed in front of the sun off-center, producing a beautiful partial eclipse. No one on Earth saw it, because the lunar transit was visible only from Earth orbit. More than 22,000 miles above the planet’s surface, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured these images

QUIET WITH A  CHANCE OF FLARES: Solar activity has been low for almost a week. Two sunspots, one old and one new, could break the quiet. AR2192 and AR2216 have tangled magnetic fields poised to criss, cross, and explode. NOAA forecasters estimate a 25% chance of an X-flare on Nov. 23rd. http://spaceweather.com/

 

 A coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed off the northeast limb and was directed away from our planet . http://www.solarham.net/
