MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a moderate-to-low level since the 
last message. In the past 24 hours, NOAA 14424 produced 
three C-class flares, the largest of which was a partially 
occulted C6.0 flare at 05:21 UT today, following an M1.8 flare 
yesterday. This region was classified as a beta/D-type sunspot 
group and has rotated beyond the northwest limb. Close to the 
southeast of 14424, NOAA 14425 (N05W68, alpha/H-type) 
produced three ~C2 flares in the period with the emergence of 
new magnetic fluxes. Today the target will switch to NOAA 
14424 (with 14425 included). C-class flares are likely in the 
following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14424 on 05-May-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

N17W91 (909", 276")
