I did not realize that was the 2003 sunspots were the ones that produced that massive solar flare. It is quite interesting this sunspot produced a plethora of flares, but only one CME. It highlights how little we know about the behavior of the Sol.
I had very recently read about the Halloween Solar Storm of 2003 during Solar Cycle 23 in which an X45 (!!!!) class flare was recorded. I also remember when I read about the sunspot in question (AR2192) was about to surpass the two large sunspots back in 2003.
Hello Parsons. Apologies for the delay in reply.
It looks like you deal with these things at a much more serious level. I am more of a dilettante. That is why I wanted to research on what you said before addressing your remarks. While researching, I found this. You may find it interesting --
