Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased in the last 24 hours due to the rapid development of NOAA 13014 in the northeast quadrant, resulting in the production of several low C-class flares, and is now classified as a beta-delta region. The region near the northeast limb that was the source of M-class activity has now been designated as NOAA 13017 but has remained quiescent, while NOAA 13010 in the southeast quadrant was the source of a C9.9 flare at 11:26 UT today. NOAA 13014 shall become the new target region with further C-level activity expected, and chance of a low M-class flare. Also include NOAA 13015 in your field of view as well if possible.
The position of NOAA 13014 on 17-May-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N22E37, ( -530", 385" )
