Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity levels remain low. Several flares were produced since the last message, the largest being an occulted C5.3 from a region beyond the southeastern limb at 05:53 UT today. The region(s) beyond the eastern limb have been the most productive in the last 24 hours, while NOAA 14419 has remained relatively quiet, despite retaining its beta-gamma configuration. As NOAA 14419 begins to approach the northwestern limb, it will remain the target region for what might be the final 24 hours. However, additional attention should be paid to the regions beyond the eastern limb as they come further into view. Additional C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14419 on 21-April-2026 at 11:30 UT is:
N11W31, (478", 301") 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.
