Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity on the visible side of the disk continues to be very low. However, there was another M class flare (M1.0 at 11:39 UT today, 4/20) observed from the Southeast limb region. The largest event on the disk in the past 24 hours was a C4.3 flare at 16:23 UT yesterday from NOAA 14065. There was no flare reported from the target region, NOAA 14064.
The source region of the M flare is currently under limb passage. The sunspot is not visible but brightness in EUV wavelengths started to be apparent. Today, we will switch the default target to this unnumbered Southeast limb region. A few C class to low-M class flares are expected.
The position of the target on 20-April-2025 at 15:30 UT is: S25E88 (-864", -399").
