Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a high level. Target region NOAA 13576 grew slightly in terms of spot area since the last message, and continues to be a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification. This region again produced multiple C-class flares and an M9.0 flare on 10-Feb-2024 at 22:56 UT - the largest magnitude flare in the period. At this time we are initiating an MM#003 Major Flare Watch on NOAA region 13576. Additional M-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a good chance for another >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 13576 on 11-Feb-2024 at 16:30 UT is: S16W19 , ( 305", -164" ) 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.
