Beta AR2689 appears to be decaying. This Active Region (producing only B-Class Solar Flares) is now located in the NW region of the solar disc and can be seen as a bright area in the image produced immediately below.
Meanwhile, a huge and very unusual circular magnetic filament has been seen in the Southern hemisphere of the sun since November 22. It is now near the SW limb of the sun, where, if we have a hyderflare and CME, the CME would be geo-directed. This picture was taken at 0112UT on November 28, 2017.
In addition to this unusual circular magnetic filament, there is a massive coronal hole (seen in black) located in the Southern Hemisphere not too far from this magnetic filament. This coronal hole is expected to cause radio interference on earth due to high solar winds coming from this hole.
