[HCARC] Solar Activity Update

[Kerry Sandstrom]

There was an M2.4  class flare starting about 0000 Z.  The flare lasted 
over 2 hours and caused a Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) event that began 
around 0400 Z.  There was also a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) but it's 
impact is not known yet.  The sunspot group is not the one that just 
appeared but the older large group.  It will be on the visible portion 
of the sun for a few more days.
