Subject: Ground-based Observation of Active Region AR4366 - February 2, 2026
Message:
Hi NASA Sun & Space Weather team,
I am writing to share a clear ground-based capture of the sunspot group AR4366, taken today from Israel.
I have been monitoring this region's rapid development, and my images from this afternoon captured the complex "delta" configuration of the group quite clearly, even with mobile equipment. I have cross-referenced these frames with the SDO AIA 1700 and HMI Intensitygram data to confirm the alignment.
Observation Details:
Date & Time: February 2, 2026, at 16:34 (GMT+2).
Location: Capernaum Junction, Israel (32.89°N, 35.55°E).
Target: Active Region AR4366.
Equipment: Samsung S21 Ultra (SM-G998B) - 100x Digital Zoom.
Note: The images capture the primary dark cores of the region, which has recently been the source of several X-class flares.
I’ve attached the original photo and a side-by-side comparison with the SDO live feed from the same hour. I thought this might be a valuable addition to your citizen science database for this specific solar event.
Best regards,
yonatan cohen
