Solar Update / 1504 Returns
Solar activity remains moderate with the occasional low level M-Class flare around Sunspot 1515. A new Sunspot is rotating into view off the southeast limb and looks to be the return of old Sunspot 1504 from the previous rotation. There will continue to be a chance for another strong solar flare on Friday.
