MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 10 May '24

10 May '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity persists at a high level. NOAA 13664 has produced several significant flares, the largest being an X4.0 at 06:27 UT today. This region continues to show significant signatures of magnetic flux and dynamic sunspot behaviour. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13664 as the target region. Additional M-class activity is expected with a good chance for further >M5 flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13664 on 10-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S19W41, (591",-272") 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 high level. NOAA 13664 produced numerous M- and X-class flares over the last 24 hours, the largest being an X2.3 at 08:45 UT today. NOAA 13664 has grown substantially in area, reaching 1200 μh, and has a substantial associated flux. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13664 as the target region. Further M-class activity is expected, with a good chance for additional >M5 flares in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13664 on 09-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S19W31, (464",-265") 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 reached a high level. Both NOAA 13663 and NOAA 13664 produced a number of significant magnitude flares, each producing separate X1.0 flares at 01:48 UT today and 04:37 UT today, respectively. NOAA 13663 has shown a slight decay in area as it undergoes its transit of the northwest limb. NOAA 13664 has further grown to an area of 630 μh and has produced a greater number of significant flares since the last message. The Major Flare Watch will continue and the target region will now switch to NOAA 13664, however attention should still be paid to NOAA 13663 for potential limb flares. Additional M-class activity is expected, with a good chance for further >M5 activity in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13664 on 08-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S20W16, (247",-275") 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 continued at an elevated level since the last message. Multiple flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M5.2 from NOAA 13663 at 05:58 UT today. NOAA 13663 remains the most productive active region as it begins its approach of the northwest limb. An additional active region, NOAA 13664, has developed into a beta-gamma-delta region and shows signs of significant flux - this region should be monitored closely over the next 24 hours. NOAA 13663 will remain the target region at this time and the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional M-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an additional isolated >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 13663 on 07-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N25W52, (680",434") 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 remains at an elevated level. NOAA 13663 has produced a significant number of flares, the largest being an X4.5 at 05:38 UT today. NOAA 13663 continues to show signs of substantial flux and sunspot dynamism. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13663 as the target region. Further M-class activity is expected, with a chance for further >M5 activity in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13663 on 06-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N26W38, (527",459") 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 continued at an elevated level since the last message. NOAA 13663 produced multiple significant flares, the largest being an X1.3 at 05:47 UT today. NOAA 13663 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta region and continues to regularly produce large flares. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13663 as the target region. Additional M-class activity is likely with a chance for further >M5 events in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13663 on 05-May-2024 at 07:30 UT is: N26W20, (293",469") 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 further increased since the last message. NOAA 13663 produced a number of flares, including an M9.1 at 06:02 UT today. NOAA 13663 has further evolved in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region. This region also continues to show substantial dynamism in its sunspot behaviour. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13663 remaining as the target region. Further M-class activity is expected with a chance for an additional isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13663 on 04-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N26W10, (149",473") 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 increased since the last message. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an X1.7 from NOAA 13663 at 02:11 UT today. NOAA 13663 has evolved into a beta-delta type region and continues to show dynamic sunspot behaviour. The target region will now switch to NOAA 13663 and the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional >M5 activity is possible in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13663 on 03-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N26E03, (-44",475") 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 remains at a low-to-moderate level since the last message. Several flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.8 from NOAA 13663 at 22:26 UT yesterday. NOAA 13654 produced a single C-class flare since the last message. At this time, the Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be a final 24 hours to allow NOAA 13654 to pass fully beyond the southwest limb. Close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13663, which has produced a number of flares in the last 24 hours and has developed into a beta-gamma type region, with notable dynamism in its sunspot behaviour. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours with a chance for further isolated M-class flares. The position of NOAA 13654 on 2-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S07W83, (937",-107") 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 continued at a low-to-moderate level since the last message. NOAA 13654 produced several flares, including an M9.5 at 23:23 UT yesterday. This region has been reclassified as a beta-delta type region with an area of 550 μh. At this time, we are implementing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13654 as the target region. Additional >M5 activity is possible over the next 24-48 hours as this region begins its transit of the southwest limb. The position of NOAA 13654 on 01-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S07W70, (889",-92") 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.
