[HCARC] Solar Activity Report 6

[Kerry Sandstrom]

The Solar Flux hit 100 today.  The group, that appeared a few days ago 
is still doing well.  there were 3 or 4 C-class flares this UT day.  The 
largest was a C7.7 from an old group that just went over the sun's limb 
and is no longer visible.  The last new group came over the sun's other 
limb and there seem to be a couple new groups that have appeared on the 
sun's face.  All together, these groups could keep the activity going 
for another week or ten days.  I don't see any new groups on the back 
side of the sun for about 2 weeks when these groups will start 
returning.  Enjoy the conditions while we have them.

The geomagnetic field has been pretty active the last couple days.  We 
had a K-index of 6 and two more of 5 last night.

Have fun,

Kerry
