Latest MM MOTD

Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a low level. The largest event 

since the last message was a C1.6 flare at 06:40 UT today, 

which is actually happening now, from the northwest limb 

region NOAA 14416 (N20W82). 14416 also produced seven 

B-class flares during the period and was designated as a 

beta/C-type region. It is rotating over the west limb. The 

target region NOAA 14419 only produced a B5.6 flare at 

16:59 UT yesterday. 14419 retains a beta-gamma/E-type 

configuration. Today we will continue to watch it. Further 

B- and C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14419 on April 18 at 07:30 UT is:
N14E11 (-177", 316")
