“The Sun has settled down this week after what looked to be a promising beginning. We had high hopes for region 2703 as it rotated into Earth view, but it has since fizzled and we are now once again with a spotless Sun. The bright region that was once 2703 remains visible and it still shows signs of life, but solar flux remains at solar minimum conditions. This is bad news for amateur radio operators and emergency responders, who were hoping for better radio propagation. As for aurora, there is a small chance this week for shows at high latitudes due to a remnant coronal hole sending pockets of fast solar wind, but things will likely remain quiet at mid-latitudes. However, more chances for solar storming come next week, when a large coronal hole gives us a much better chance for aurora. Catch more details on this coronal hole, learn how region 2703 is affecting amateur radio and GPS operations, and see what else the Sun has in store this week!”
