Solar activity has remained at a very low level since the last message,
with the GOES 1–8 A flux mostly flat near C1. These low C-class events
came mainly from yesterday's target region NOAA 14473 (S09E33, beta-
gamma/D-type), newly numbered NOAA 14475 (S09E44, beta-gamma/
C-type; formerly the trailing main sunspot of 14473), and two eastern limb
regions. NOAA 14473 has decayed significantly, with a rapid decrease in
both sunspot number and sunspot area. At this time, we are ending the
Major Flare Watch. The default target will switch to NOAA 14475, as it is
showing relatively active flux emergence on the eastern side of its main
sunspot. Further low C-class activity is expected, with only a slight chance
of an isolated M-class flare in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14475 on 23-Jun-2026 11:30 UT is:
S09E44, (-649", -171")
