ARs 2293 and 2294 are now joined by AR 2295, which has just emerged over the solar limb. These active areas continue to develop, but are not currently likely to spawn any flare activity. Correction on April 22--apparently some C-Class flares have been detected from these active areas. This image may have captured either the start or end of one, which is indicated by the "blown out" areas towards the bottom of the image of the group.
