New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

On Monday a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the SW quadrant of the Sun near S22E41.

NOAA/SWPC should assign it #11023, with a beta magnetic signature.

We have seen four solar cycle 24 sunspot groups this month and six in the past 30 days. It appears that solar cycle 24 has finally come alive.
