MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 03 Jul '26

03 Jul '26

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has been at a moderate level since the last message. An M2.8 (at 07/02/10:21 UT) and an M1.2 (at 07/02/23:03 UT) flares were produced by NOAA 14480 (S16W60, beta-gamma/E-type) and the target region NOAA 14479, respectively. NOAA 14479 also produced six C-class flares during the period. It retains a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration. Today we will continue the Major Flare campaign on NOAA 14479. Additional low M-class flares are expected with some chance of an isolated major flare above M5.0 in the coming days. The position of NOAA 14479 on July 3 at 07:30 UT is: N17W56 (749", 248") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org <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 relatively high level. The largest event since the last message was an M8.5 flare at 07/01/22:57 UT, produced by NOAA 14478, which retains a beta-gamma-delta/F-type configuration. 14478 also produced an M1.1 flare. The target region NOAA 14479 retains a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group and produced three low M-class flares (the largest one being an M4.2 flare) plus three C-class flares during the period. Today we will continue to watch NOAA 14479. Further low M-class flares are expected with a chance of major flares above M5.0 from both regions. The position of NOAA 14479 on July 2 at 07:30 UT is: N17W42 (605", 241") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org <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 been at a high level for the past 24 hours. The largest event was an X1.5 flare at 06/30/20:34 UT produced by NOAA 14479. NOAA 14479 was also the source of eight low M-class flares. It retains a complex beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration. Today we will continue the Major Flare campaign but switch the target to NOAA 14479. Yesterday's target NOAA 14475 only produced three C-class flares during the period. Further M-class flares are expected with a chance of an X-class flare in the next few days. The position of NOAA 14479 on July 1 at 15:30 UT is: N16W33 (495", 221") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org <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.
