Significant Solar Cycle 24 Activity

2010 has been a very active year so far.  We have only had two spotless days as of this writing.  

The solar disk currently has the 1043 and 1044 named sunspot groups, and as of last night a new, unnamed sunspot group of robust size and potential has emerged.  It has reportedly already released an M-class solar flare.  Expect this group to be named shortly and contribute to an ever-improving ramp up to solar cycle 24.
