Boom! M-class Flare from Sunspot 1039

DateWednesday, January 20, 2010 at 16:22

Sunspot 1039 is hanging tough as it spins toward the Earth facing side again. It is soon to be renamed 1041.

1039 has one last hurrah as it emitted a M2 solar flare on Jan 19th. This is the largest solar flare in nearly two years.
