Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained consistent since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an M2.0 from NOAA 14079 at 07:41 UT today. NOAA 14079 has progressed further onto the solar disk and is now classified as a beta-gamma region with a sunspot area of 560 μh. NOAA 14079 currently appears to be relatively stable in behaviour and does not appear to reach the criteria for a Major Flare Watch, however this region should be monitored closely for further development. NOAA 14079 will remain the target region, with a chance for additional isolated M-class flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 30-April-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N08E60 (-818", 167") 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.
