Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12529 has continued to decay, decreasing in both spot area and number of spots. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and has produced three C-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of the period (a C5.8 flare on 16-Apr-2016 at 19:42 UT). Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 17-Apr-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N10W49, ( 711", 223" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
