SolarHam.com | Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) off NW limb this morning - February 9, 2012

A new sunspot is growing rapidly in the southeast quadrant and should be numbered 1416 on Thursday. This region is currently producing low level solar flares. There will continue to be a chance for C-Class flares on Thursday. Elsewhere, newly numbered region 1415 remains stable as it approaches the western limb.

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is seen billowing away off the northwest limb this morning. This could be related to activity surrounding Sunspot 1410 which is now out of direct Earth view. Image is below.
