MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region, NOAA 1166, was the source of a major X1.5 flare
late yesterday at 23:23 UT.  1166 developed rapidly during the
day increasing its spot count, spot area and magnetic complexity
forming a strong delta configuration within its central portion.
If the region retains its magnetic complexity, an event
=> than M5 is possible.


The position of NOAA 1166 on March 10 at 11:30 UT is:
N09W19 (Solar X = 311", Solar Y = 264")

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
