We are also seeing the appearance of a new sunspot region near the east limb which is likely the return of sunspot region 2197. Back here on Earth we see continuing but waning coronal hole high speed stream effects. High latitude locations have been experiencing fantastic auroral displays for several days now. Our header image was taken just a few days ago by Durwood Mark Collier from Vermont, USA. Stunning!
