MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The target region now numbered NOAA 2740 was the source of a long duration limb occulted C1.0 event at 05/03/23:31 UT. The event was associated with a CME off the east limb. 2740 also produced B-class activity. The large leader sunspot from old NOAA 2738 has completed east limb passage. New opposite polarity trailing flux is located adjacent, almost directly north, to the large leader. B-class events expected with another C-class event probable in the next 24 hour period. Old NOAA 2739 located about two days beyond the northeastern limb appears to be somewhat active.
The position of NOAA 2740 on May 04 at 12:45 UT is: N07E77 (Solar X = -921, Solar Y = 130")
