Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased slightly in the past 24 hours. The limb target region NOAA 13738 produced an M1.2 flare at 09:26 today. Today we will continue the Major Flare Watch for another 24 hours, due to the complex beta-gamma-delta/F-type magnetic configuration, sunspot area of >1000 MSH, and past flaring history in this region. Besides, some other active regions (NOAA 13753, 13744, 13743) also produced several M-class flares, including the largest magnitude being an M5.1 at 06:26 today from NOAA 13743 (beta/E-type, S11W37). More low-M activities are very likely with a chance of an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13738 at 11:30 UT on 17-Jul-2024 is: N09W90 (932", 147") 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, Qiao Li (Purple Mountain Observatory)
