MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased to a moderate-to-low level since the last 
message. The largest event during the period was a C5.2 flare at 03:08 
UT today from the target region NOAA 14494 (S04W21, alpha/H-type). 
This region also produced several other C-class flares during the period, 
including C3.6 and C3.5 events, but has continued to decay, decreasing 
in both sunspot number and sunspot area. NOAA 14492 (N16W42) is 
currently classified as a beta-gamma-delta region but did not produce 
any significant flares during the period. Today we will continue to watch 
NOAA 14494 as the target region. 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 14494 on 28-Jul-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

S04W21 (339", -150")
