Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 11476 has produced three ~M5 flares in the past 24 hours. The region
continues to show signs of flux emergence and remains classified as a
beta-gamma-delta region. The polarity inversion line within the leader spot
has become highly sheared due to the sunspot's rotation. Major Flare Watch
shall remain in effect with further >M5 level activity expected, and the
possibility of an X-class flare.

The position of NOAA 11476 on 10-May-2012 at 09:00 UT is:

N10E17, ( -271", 215" )

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Ryan Milligan (QUB)
