Latest MM MOTD


MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has remained at a low level since the last message. 
The largest event during the period was a C3.9 flare at 05:44 UT 
today from the target region NOAA 14498 (N14E43). 14498 has 
developed into a beta-gamma magnetic configuration and produced 
several other low C-class flares during the period. The area east of 
its main sunspot shows clear signs of magnetic flux emergence and 
mixed polarities. Therefore, today we will continue to watch NOAA 
14498 as the target region. The emerging region mentioned yesterday 
has now been designated NOAA 14500 (N18E51, beta/C-type). This 
region also produced a few low C-class flares during the period. If 
possible, please also include 14500 in your field of view. Further C-class 
activity is expected, with only a slight chance of an isolated low M-class 
flare in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14498 on 30-Jul-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

N14E43 (-627", 162")
