Sunspot 1142 / C-Class Flares (January 3)

[Richard]

Region 1142 which is located in the southern hemisphere of the sun, has grown into a decent sunspot cluster and has now produced atleast one C-Class flare. Continue to monitor this active region for further activity. Sunspots 1140 and 1141 which are located in the northern hemisphere remain stable.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the Sun Richard, it fascinates me. Isn't C class one of the big ones? what does it go up to? As you can tell im fairly ignorant in these matters.

C-Class is moderate, it's when you get to the M-Class you start seeing some damage, and X-Class is the strongest.
