Sunspot Outbreak (December 31)

[Richard]

2010 is coming to a close with a flurry of new sunspots. One region rotated into view on the eastern limb and at the same time, 3 new sunspots have suddenly popped up. One of these regions located in the northern hemisphere appears to be growing at a good pace. There will be a chance for C-Class flares.
