Default NASA video past activity from Sunspot 1429

Actually it looks as if the video is about past activity on sunspot 1429, which
is just coming around to face us again.




Who ever titled this video is an idiot!


from Spaceweather

"Returning sunspot AR1429 is just a shadow of its former self, having decayed substantially during its two week trip around the backside of the sun."

1429 managed to cough up at least 3 CMEs on the backside of the sun so maybe it shot most of its wad, so to speak (crudely). There will be others and its too early to count out 1429 which may still have some juice left for us.
