Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Target NOAA 12885 has now rotated over the North West limb, but its higher-lying loops are still visible. NOAA 12882 remained stable since the last message with its classification decreasing to an alpha/H-type due to limb foreshortening. A few low B-class flares have occurred from the limb-crossing location of NOAA 12885 and also from NOAA 12882. B-class activity is probable in the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12882 on 16-Oct-2021 at 16:00 UT is:
N15W85 , ( 926", 240" )
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.
