The Cycle 24 plage region has finally produced a small sunspot. It has
received the number 1017 by NOAA. This area of magnetism remains very quiet.

A CME took place on Wednesday off the eastern limb. The picture is
below. The Lasco C2 movie link can be found on the left hand side of the
page.

The solar flux reached a high of 74 on Tuesday (75.5 adjusted). As small
as that seems, that is the highest it has been in just over 1 year. To
learn more about the solar flux and what the "adjusted" solar flux is,
