Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13056 has now rotated close to the South West limb and its magnetic complexity is difficult to determine reliably. This region has continued to produce C-class activity since the last message, totalling six C-class flares (the largest being a C3.9 on 20-Jul-2022 at 19:45 UT) but has become flare-quiet with the beginning of the new UT day. Other NOAA regions also produced C-class flares, the largest in the period being a C5.6 from NOAA 13060 on 21-Jul-2022 at 01:02 UT. NOAA region 13060 becomes the new target due to the decreased flaring frequency of NOAA 13056 and the close proximity and resulting interaction between the 13060 leading-polarity flux and the 13058 opposite-polarity trailing flux. More C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13060 on 21-Jul-2022 at 12:30 UT is: N13W13 , ( 206", 135" ) 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.
