new sunspot region 1526 is old sunspot region 1512
new sunspot region 1528 is old sunspot region 1513
new sunspot region 1529 is likley old sunspot region 1514
old sunspot region 1515 is coming in close behind new sunspot region 1529 (old sunspot 1514)
this is the same thing it did in the last rotation
we were all watching 1514, then once 1515 popped around the corner, it said hello with a M flare
M5.6 Flare on 7/02/2012 @ 10:52 UTC - Sunspot 1515
- CME produced- ETA: July 4-5
then continued to pop off the longest running list of M flares we have seen this cycle
(see updated list on the 1st post, 1st page of this thread)

old sunspot 1515 should be rotating into view sometime tomorrow

here we can see these sunspots on their last rotation 26 days ago

here we can see these sunspots turning into a Earth facing position for this rotation

here we can see old sunspots 1514 and 1515 as they are today
you will see these 2 sunspot regions on the bottom section

here is a site link that is packed full of info on all these old sunspot regions

some of you might find the info found on there very interesting :)



New region 11527 [N26E66] rotated into view on July 22 and was assigned a number by SWPC the next day. The region produced a single small C flare during the day.
New region 11528 [N17E67] rotated into view on July 22.
New region 11529 [S11E70] rotated into view on July 22.

Spotted active regions not numbered or interpreted differently by NOAA/SWPC:
New region S1816 [S18E81] rotated into view with a single spot. The region appears to have been the source of a C1.4 event at 23:35 UTC.
New region S1817 [S32E06] emerged with a single tiny spot.
New region S1818 [N17W32] emerged with a few spots.

AR 11520, several days behind the southwest limb, produced a magnificent (in STEREO-A images) flare early in the day, this event was associated with a very fast (above 2000 km/s) full halo CME and an increase in proton levels at Earth.

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 22/2100Z
to 23/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Newly numbered Regions 1527
(N27E64) and 1529 (S12E71) produced the only C-class flares for the
period: a C2/1f flare at 23/1127Z and a C1 flare at 23/1700Z,
respectively. New Region 1528 (N17E67) was also numbered. Two CMEs
were observed overnight in LASCO C2 imagery. The first was
associated with a filament eruption beyond the northwest limb
beginning at 22/1248Z and the second, an asymmetric full-halo
associated with flare activity from old Region 1520 (S16, L=086)
approximately 40 degrees beyond the west limb beginning at 23/0236Z.
These CMEs are not expected to disturb the geomagnetic field.
