Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. The target region has been designated as NOAA 13006 and was classed as a beta/C-type sunspot group at the start of the UT day. This region continued producing flares since the last message, including 2 C-class flares and an M1.5 on 4-May-2022 at 19:40 UT. NOAA 13004 has continued emerging new flux and is now classed as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13004 also continued producing flares since the last message, including 19 C-class flares and 2 M-class flares (an M1.1 and an M1.6 on 4-May-2022 at 16:25 UT and 20:09 UT, respectively). The Max Millennium Observing Plan #003 Major Flare Watch remains in effect but switches in target to NOAA 13004 due to its growth in both size and magnetic complexity. Additional M-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated >=M5 flare. The position of NOAA 13004 on 5-May-2022 at 13:00 UT is: S16W24 , ( 375", -208" ) 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.
