Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 12859 was the source of a C1.5 flare at 14:18 UT yesterday but has since decayed to an alpha region. A large, rapidly emerging region in the southeast quadrant was also the source of a C1 flare at 01:10 UT yesterday and shall be the new target region. The region is designated as NOAA 12860 and has a beta/B-type configuration. Further B- and C-level activity likely from the new target region over the next 24 hours as it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 12860 on 25-Aug-2021 at 11:30 UT is:
S28E34, ( -469", -528" )
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.
