MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has remained steady over the last 24 hours. A number of flares were produced, the largest being an M1.1 from NOAA 13796 at 05:53 UT today. NOAA 13796 continues to demonstrate dynamic sunspot activity and has further grown in area. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma. NOAA 13796 will remain the target region, additional C-class activity is likely, with a chance for a low M-class flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 21-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S04E34, (-530",-160") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly decreased since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an M3.7 from NOAA 13796 at 21:41 UT yesterday. NOAA 13784 has remained relatively dormant as it continues its transit of the northwest limb. NOAA 13796 produced a number three low M-class flares since the last message. This region has shown interesting sunspot dynamism and notable emerging flux. NOAA 13796 is currently classified as a beta-gamma type region. The target region will now switch to NOAA 13796. Further C-class activity is likely, with a chance for additional M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 20-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S03E48, (-705",-125") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a low-moderate level. Three M1.4 flares were produced since the last message, two from NOAA 13796 and a third from NOAA 13785. NOAA 13784 has begun its transit of the northwestern limb and still shows signs of emerging flux. However NOAA 13784 has remained relatively quiet. At this time we are ending the Major Flare Watch but NOAA 13784 shall remain the target region. Additional C-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for additional M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 19-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N16W67, (840",217") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

18 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity remains at a low-moderate level. Several flares have been produced since the last message, the largest being an M2.4 from NOAA 13784 at 01:50 UT today. NOAA 13784 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta as it begins its approach of the northwest limb. This region still shows signs of significant flux, however the sunspot behaviour appears to be steady. While NOAA 13784 remains in view on the disk, the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional C-class and low M-class activity is anticipated, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 18-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W54, (742",180") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

17 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a low-moderate level. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.6 from NOAA 13784 at 10:24 UT today. NOAA 13784 has shown signs of decay as it approaches the western limb, however this region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta with an area of 600 μh . The Major Flare Watch will continue while NOAA 13784 remains on the disk. Further C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 17-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W41, (602",162") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly reduced since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being a C7.8 from NOAA 13786 at 16:53 UT yesterday. NOAA 13784 only produced a single C4.3 flare in the last 24 hours. This region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta with a sunspot area of 680 μh. The Major Flare Watch will remain active due to the size and complexity of NOAA 13784. Further C-class activity is likely, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 16-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W26, (402",147") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity levels remain moderate. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M5.3 from NOAA 13784 at 15:39 UT today. Since the last message, NOAA 13784 has grown to 700 μh and remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region. This region has shown sustained dynamism in sunspot behaviour. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13784 as the target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a chance for an additional >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 15-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N14W12, (191",123") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

14 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a moderate level since the last message. Several notable flares were produced in the last 24 hours, including an X1.1 from NOAA 13784 at 06:00 UT today. NOAA 13780 has remained dormant since the last message. NOAA 13784 has developed in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta. This region also continues to show dynamic sunspot behaviour. The Major flare Watch will continue and the target region will switch to NOAA 13784. Further M-class activity is expected with a chance for an additional >M5 flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 14-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W00, (0",138") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has remained at a moderate level since the last message. Several flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.2 from NOAA 13874 at 22:47 UT yesterday. NOAA 13780 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta with a sustained area of 1100 μh. Given the complexity and significant size of NOAA 13780, the Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13780 as the target region, however attention should also be paid to NOAA 13784 due to the notable dynamic sunspot activity from this region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13780 on 13-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S10W41, (613",-244") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a moderate level. Several flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.7 from NOAA 13777 at 19:57 UT yesterday. NOAA 13780 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta and has a significant area of 1100 μh, although the number of associated sunspots has decreased substantially since the last message. This region also shows sustained sunspot dynamism. The Major Flare Watch will remain effective with NOAA 13780 as the target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13780 on 12-Aug-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S11W27, (423",-274") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
