Solar activity was quiet on Monday with the exception of a long duration C-Class flare around Sunspot 1520. This region along with 1519 and 1521 will be rotating onto the western limb within the next couple of days. A small new sunspot did rotate into view off the southeast limb, but has yet to fetch an official sunspot number designation. There will remain the chance for an isolated M-Class flare.
