Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity from the earth-facing side has been very low.
The largest event was a C5.2 flare from NOAA 14336 at 12:42 UT
today(1/12). However, an M3.4 flare was reported from the region
behind the Southeast limb at 21:53 UT yesterday. This flare
developed post flare arcades and a cusp at the latitude range of
South 10 to 15 degrees for several hours after the flare.
Although the sunspots associated with this event are still located
behind the limb, we will observe this region as the default target
today, expecting additional flares of C to M class.

The position of the target region on 12-January-2026 at 17:00 UT
is: S13E90  (-959", -223").
