Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been very low since the last message. The largest
event in the past 24 hours was a C4.9 flare at 10:07 UT today (12/24)
produced by the target region, NOAA 14317. Two other low-C class
flares were reported from this region today. A new bi-polar region 
emerged in the East of NOAA 14316. This unnumbered region has 
grown fast since yesterday, now having a larger sunspot area than
that of NOAA 14316. A C1.3 event was reported from this region, but
no further activity has been observed yet.

Today, we will continue to observe NOAA 14317, at the central area
where the C4.9 flare was from, expecting additional C class events.

The position of the target in NOAA 14317 on 24-December-2025
at 17:00 UT is: N10E25  (-414", 213").
