Flare!

[ellarien]

It just goes to show how quiet the Sun has been lately, that it feels worthwhile to blog a C-class flare, but there it was -- the first one since early July. I'm particularly charmed that it came from Region 11026, which thanks to STEREO, which in its current positions lets us see about 300 degrees of the Sun at once, and Farside Helioseismology, we've been watching since well before it actually came around to the front of the Sun.
