The Sun 8-5-09 - New Active Region - 11017 ?

A new active region has rounded the NE limb and its an SC24 cycle region! Actually there will be two on the earth side of the sun soon as we have been following their progress from the far side via the Stereo Behind satellite. The second one looks like it will be brighter and more active. Two linear stripes of plage make up the new AR but no sunspot has been seen so far.
