Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased since the last message, as the bright regions rotated from the East limb. In the past 24 hours, One low-C class flare was reported from the region on the Northeast limb, and the region on the Southeast limb produced several C class flares including a C6.9 flare, which is the largest in the reporting period.
No flare was reported from the target region, NOAA 14317 during the last 24 hours. The rapidly grown region, NOAA 14321 has reached to the size of 200 millionths, and is forming a delta configuration at the boundary of its leading and following sunspots. However, no flare was reported from this region, either.
Today, we will switch the default target to the yet unnumbered region from the Southeast limb. While no sunspot is visible from us yet, we will observe the positive magnetic concentration that produced the C6.9 event. Additional C class events or larger are expected.
The position of the target on 26-December-2025 at 16:00 UT is: S09E78 (-943", -148")
