Two new sunspots are now visible after each rotated off the eastern limb and onto the visible solar disk. The first region located in the southeast quadrant was numbered 1542 on Monday. The second region located in the northeast quadrant should be numbered 1543 on Tuesday. Both are currently producing C-Class solar flares.


Solar activity is currently low with only low level C-Class flares detected within the past 24 hours. There will continue to be a chance for an isolated M-Class event, particularly around Sunspots 1542 and 1543 (tentative).
