Large, Growing, and Very Active Region Seen on the Farside of the Sun

Imagery from the satellite solar orbiter (SOLO) shows a very active and large active region on the farside of the Sun. We can see that it hasn’t been super eruptive yet and there hasn’t been any large farside CMEs yet but it has produced multiple X-Class flares according to SOLO’s STIX. This spot should start to crest the incoming limb in 3-4 days! Timeframe is from May 14th to May 17th and is in 304 Ångstroms.

What a beautiful eruption, it looked like the number 8! Hopefully all this activity continues! Imagery is from SDO AIA 304Å.
