Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. A new flux region is emerging in the South West quadrant and has developed several spots in the previous 12 hours. NOAA region 11692 has rotated to the North West limb and was last classified by NOAA as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region was the source of several low C-class events in the past 24 hours, as well as an M1.6 on 21-Mar-2013 at 21:42 UT. Further low C-class activity is likely with a small chance for another high C-/low M-class event before the higher-lying loops of NOAA 11692 rotate completely beyond the limb.
The position of NOAA 11692 on 22-Mar-2013 at 14:30 UT is:
N09W90, ( 950", 150" )
