Active region 1613 produced M2.0 solar flare at 23:28 UTC on November 12, 2012. This expanding region is rotating into direct Earth-view position and may produce more activity. Sunspots 1610, 1611 and 1614 are currently the largest sunspots on the visible solar disk.
Rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide in upper level of Earth’s atmosphere is expected to gradually result in a cooler, more contracted high-altitude atmospheric layer or thermosphere, and a consequent reduction in the atmospheric drag experienced by satellites,
Strong earthquake initially registered as M 6.2, but later revised to 6.5, struck near coast of Guatemala at 22:15 UTC on November 11, 2012 according to USGS. The epicenter was near Mexico-Guatemala border, 40 km (25 miles) SSE from Suchiate, Chiapas, Mexico and 60

Solar activity is moderate. Three C-class events were observed overnight and giant plasma filled prominence occurred on the southwest limb. M1.0 solar flare was registered around 02:11 UTC but it was not associated with numbered active region. Amazing plasma filled
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed on November 9, around 15:24 UTC. It was associated with filament eruption around sunspot 1608 in the southeast quadrant of the disk. This region is facing Earth and any Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) may be geoeffective.
November brings us two eclipses in the month. Total solar eclipse will occur on November 13 and penumbral lunar eclipse on November 28, 2012. On November 13, residents of northeastern Australia will see the sun fully obscured by the moon, whose shadow will darken the

New region 1611 rotated into view on the east limb and produced a moderate M1.7 flare at 02:23 UTC and a type II radio sweep shortly after, on November 8, 2012. Flare generated bright coronal mass ejection (CME) in eastward direction which means that it would not
Strong earthquake registered as M 6.3 at depth of 16.6 km (10.3 miles), struck near Vancouver Island, Canada on November 08, 2012 at 02:01 UTC, according to USGS. The epicenter was located 186 km (115 miles) SSW of Port Hardy, Canada (49.185°N,
