New (Old) sunspot Group?

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

Posted Wednesday January 6, 2010 at 1400 UTC

Solar cycle 24 sunspot group #11039 has set around the western limb of the 
Sun. Old solar cycle 24 sunspot group #11038 has risen around the eastern 
limb of the Sun. At the moment it appears to contain a spot or two but is 
difficult to tell for sure at the moment. If so and it survives then 
NOAA/SWPC will re-number it #11040.

The solar flux index values are 69.2 76.8 75.1 and the sunspot number 13.
