Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Most of the spotted regions on the visible solar disk have continued to decay since the last message. The most flare-active of these is NOAA 13056, which has been designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group for the last few of days after losing its beta-gamma/E-type classification. This region only has small sunspots in its leading polarity flux, but has significantly spatially extended strong-field plage in its trailing polarity flux with leading polarity plage in close proximity. NOAA 13056 has produced eight C-class flares since the last message, with the largest events being two C2.1 flares on 20-Jul-2022 at 03:58 UT and 10:20 UT. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours as NOAA 13056 rotates towards the South West limb. The position of NOAA 13056 on 20-Jul-2022 at 12:30 UT is: S16W64 , ( 816", -293" ) 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.
