SDF Number 055 Issued at 2200Z on 24 Feb 2009
IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  23/2100Z
to 24/2100Z:  Solar activity was very low.  A new cycle sunspot group
was numbered today as Region 1013 (N26E20).
IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low.
