Solar activity is currently moderate with two M-Class flares within the past 24 hours. The largest of these events was an M4.7 at 12:32 UTC Wednesday morning around Sunspot 1476. This region has a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic configuration and could produce an X-Class event. New Sunspot 1477 rotated into view off the southeast limb. This looks to be the return of old Sunspot 1462.
Another Solar Flare: A second moderate solar flare was just detected at 14:09 UTC. This one was smaller than the initial flare and measured M1.8 at its peak.
