MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

At this time we are implementing Max Millennium Coordinated Observing
Plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce Major Flares).  Previous target,
NOAA 1158, entered a very strong growth phase today.  It now has the
potential to produce a major flare.  It has developed a magnetically
complex large E-type sunspot group with a beta-gamma magnetic
classification with a possible strong delta configuration forming
within its intermediate portion.  An M5 event or greater is possible
if growth continues.

The position of NOAA 1158 on February 13 at 01:30 UT is:
S21E15 (Solar X = -236", Solar Y = -244")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
