Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to a moderate level due to two low-M flares, including an M1.7 flare at 04:30 UT today from NOAA 13761 (beta-gamma/D-type, S10W77) and an M1.3 flare at 15:27 UT yesterday from NOAA 13751 (beta-gamma/D-type, S08W91). The target region NOAA 13762 only produced several C-class flares in the period, with the largest being a C5.8 flare at 11:20 UT today. This region has increased in spot maturity to display penumbra on its leading spots, changing to a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group. 13762 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours. Further C-class activities are expected with a chance for additional low-M flares from various regions in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13762 at 11:30 UT on 26-Jul-2024 is:
S12W11 (176", -281")
