MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1520 increased its magnetic complexity after briefly
displaying slight decay during the past 24 hour period.
The region currently has a large F-type/beta-gamma
sunspot group with a magnetic delta configuration.
1520 was the source of a major X1.4 flare at 07/12/16:52 UT.
Another major flare, =/>M5 is possible in the next
24 to 48 hours.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 12 at 15:00 UT is:
S17W03 Solar X = 047", Solar Y = -341")

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