Good morning. Attached is an updated image of the visible solar disk on Friday. Solar activity was technically low during the past 24 hours, although is picking up thanks to an approaching active region (or regions) located just behind the east limb. A number of C-Class flares were observed, including a C6.2 at 21:39 UTC Thursday evening, and C6.0 at 09:23 UTC early Friday morning. The activity looks to be the result of old regions 1936/1940 from the previous rotation. A bright coronal mass ejection (CME) became visible in STEREO Ahead COR2 imagery following the C6.2 event and was directed away from Earth. Based on the detected activity just behind the limb, there could be an increasing chance for a moderate M-Class event. Currently all visible sunspot regions remain quiet.
