Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a very low level. The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C4.6 at 03/20/07:30 UT produced by NOAA 12971 that just re-emerged some tiny spots. Target region NOAA 12965 has decayed to a beta/C-type configuration and is rotating beyond the west limb. It was the source of a C2.1 flare and also a few B-class flares. Additional C-class activities are probably in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12965 on March 20 at 08:30 UT is:
N26W73 (828", 450")
