INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES
Solar activity is picking up. After a period of quiet last week in which the face of the sun became nearly blank, four significant sunspot groups are emerging. Their dark cores are circled in this Cinco de Mayo image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.



Two of the sunspot groups, AR2335 and AR2339, are crackling with M-class solar flares. This is causing minor radio blackouts across the dayside of Earth. So far the effects have been restricted to frequencies below ~5 MHz.

More flares are in the offing as these active regions turn toward Earth.
