More on the new active region.

A few days old, but the TRACE satellite took a great snapshot of the new active region:

This is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, obfuscating the view a tad. This was taken as the active region was rotating around the limb and into view. SpaceWeather.com is reporting that this active region is not a full-fledged sunspot yet, but working its darnedest to become one.
