SolarHam.com | Sunspot Update - Wednesday AUGUST 29, 2012 at 8:45 AM CT

Solar activity continues at very low levels with only B-Class flares detected within the past 24 hours around both Sunspot 1555 and a returning region off the southeast limb. The returning region appears to be old sunspot 1545 and will soon begin to rotate back into Earth view.


Here is a new SDO/AIA 171 image showing a bright area located off the southeast limb. This appears to be old Sunspot 1545. This region does not look to be very active at this time. No Coronal Mass Ejections off the limb have been detected within the past 48 hours.
