Sun Update:Three  Eruptions Today at the Sun – M1,4 – C8,4 and C8,0 Class Solar Flares from  region 1739 – May 5,2013

Solar activity continues at near moderate levels with most flare activity being detected around Sunspot 1739.

This region has produced numerous C-Class flares within the past 24 hours, including a C8.0 at 00:49 UTC and a C8.4 at 06:43. Sunspot 1739 has a Beta-Gamma magnetic structure and produced an M1,4 Class Solar Flare.

 Sunspot 1731 continues to decay as it approaches the west limb. Sunspots 1732 and 1734 remain stable. Old region 1722 rotated back into view off the southeast limb, but so far appears to be a spotless plage.

Three sunspots have beta-gamma magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares: AR1731, AR1734, and AR1739
