Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message. The largest event since the last message was a C9.8 flare at 07/05/03:59 UT produced by NOAA 13047 (S20W23, beta/B-type). The newly numbered region NOAA 13050 (N18E28, very close to yesterday's target NOAA 13046) having a beta/B-type configuration produced two C-class flares (C1.1 and C5.1) during the period. Today the target will switch to a new region near the east limb. This region has produced three C-class flares (the largest one being a C5.8) and is still showing an increase in current helicity. Some spots have rotated onto the visible solar disk from this region. More C-class activities are expected with a chance of an M-class flare in the next few days. The approximate position of the target on July 5 at 03:30 UT is: N15E89 (-900", 220") 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. Regards, Ying Li (Purple Mountain Observatory)
