Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a low-to-moderate level since the last message. NOAA 13654 produced several flares, including an M9.5 at 23:23 UT yesterday. This region has been reclassified as a beta-delta type region with an area of 550 μh. At this time, we are implementing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13654 as the target region. Additional >M5 activity is possible over the next 24-48 hours as this region begins its transit of the southwest limb. The position of NOAA 13654 on 01-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S07W70, (889",-92") 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.
