Increased activity is being recorded on the far side of the Sun
Frankly, God knows what's moving toward Earth from the far side of the Sun, but judging by how much is flying out into space from there, that side is clearly more interesting than the one facing Earth.
Helioseismology (the only way to currently see anything on the far side, through the propagating plasma waves) insists that 4274 has practically disintegrated and is no longer producing any noticeable seismic signatures. But then, you either trust your eyes or helioseismology.
There are currently no solar telescopes on the far side of the Sun. The only satellite capable of providing such data, Solar Orbiter, is currently near Earth and will only depart for the far side of the Sun in March of next year. All that remains is to wait and see.
