The one furthest to the left is the one that is most active and most likely to produce CME's this week, although all three are highly active and capable of producing CME's.<br /><br />http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/LATEST/current_eit_195.mpg<br /><br />If you watch either the RD movie or the raw colorized EIT video, you'll notice a lot of coronal loop activity in the areas I have circled. I'll also provided a link to the current RAW EIT video so you can watch it as well. The raw videos are typically color coded and available on the first page of the SOHO website.<br /><br />http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/mpeg/<br /><br />IMO the heat source of the corona, and the cause of CME's is electrical in nature. The active coronal loops areas I circled in the image are some of the first indications of the sun's change from a quiet phase to a more active phase. The area circled in the far left side of the image is the most likely area to spawn a CME event this week IMO (assuming there is one), and based on the level of activity, that seems to be the area of interest to keep on eye on this week. <br /><br />Because there are three different surface areas that are electrically active and pointing our direction this week, the sun should create a lot of solar wind this week and that should show up as wind energy in the earth's atmosphere as the week progresses. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>

It looks like we're seeing a series of C class flares thus far form these these electrically active areas, but IMO, the area I circled is fully capable of producing M and X class flares as well.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>
