Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a low level. NOAA 14432 continues to be the most productive region, producing numerous <=C2.1 flares, and retains its beta-gamma/E-type magnetic configuration. Yesterday’s target, NOAA 14436, has been downgraded to a beta/C-type configuration and produced only a few ~C2 flares. Today we shall end the Major Flare Watch campaign, and the default target shall switch back to NOAA 14432. Additional low-C flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14436 on 13-May-2026 at 15:30 UT is:
N14W91 (920", 228")
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.
