Solar activity during the last 24 hours was elevated to a moderate
level due to the flares from behind the Northwestern limb produced
by NOAA 14436. This region produced more than 10 flares larger than
high-B class, with the largest being an M2.4 flare at 10:03 UT
today(5/22). The loop system over NOAA 14436 will be fully out of our
view in the next 24 hours.
Yesterday's target, NOAA 14441 added new sunspots in the Northeast
vicinity of the leading sunspots, now being classified as a beta-gamma
type. Today we will continue to observe NOAA 14441 in the area of
the new flux emergence, the source of a C1.5 flare today at 12:55 UT.
The position of the target in NOAA 14441 on 22-May-2026
at 15:30 UT is: N09W53 (749", 180").
