[NZ4O Spaceweather] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm
Yesterday evening a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE 
quadrant of the Sun near N19E68. SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28. If 
numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be 11032.

The sunspot group currently contains a beta magnetic signature capable of 
producing very small B class solar flares. On November 17, 2009  at 1259 UTC 
the sunspot group produced a very small B1.5 solar flare.

Under the very old method of counting sunspots SIDC Belgium gave the sunspot 
group a number of 11. But in reality only one simple sunspot actually 
emerged.
