Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The target region has rotated over the South East limb to show several spots, but remains too close to the limb for accurate classification. This region has produced B-class activity since the last message, including the largest flare of the period (a B5.4 on 22-Oct-2021 at 08:29 UT). Further B-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour period, with a good chance for a C-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 22-Oct-2021 at 16:00 UT is:
S24E72 , ( -838", -416" )
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.
