Solar Update (March 13)

[Ilie Pandia]

Solar activity remained at low levels on Sunday with only C-Class activity taking place. The largest flare of the day was a C6.7 around sunspot 1166. This region has shrunk in size but could still produce an M-Class flare as it heads towards the western limb. Sunspot 1169 is capable of producing C-Class flares. Once these regions rotate onto the western limb, solar activity may be quiet for a week or so as all active regions will be on the farside of the sun. That is ofcourse unless a new active region forms in the meantime.

Thanks for the update - kinda nice to have a quiet period with the sun after the last few weeks of high activity!
