One of the largest solar flares of Cycle 24 thus far has taken place around Sunspot 1121. It registered M5.4 and has triggered a minor radio blackout. Stay Tuned for more information.Sunspot 1121 (Old 1112) is not a large sunspot in the sense of dark cores, however it is magnetically complex and producing C-Class and M-Class activity. There will be an ongoing chance for M-Class flares. As this region continues to rotate into better position, it may be lined up for possible earth directed CME's should the flare activity continue.
