Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target has continued to release C-class events with increasing frequency. The mixed polarity spot mentioned yesterday in the leading portion of the region has increased in strength and now shows evidence for a delta classification with significant shearing and exhibits a strong double polarity separation line. Due to the enhanced probability for a >M5 flare, a Major Flare Watch is now in effect. Further C-class activity is expected with the chance for a >M5 event.
The position of NOAA 12253 on 2-Jan-2015 at 22:35 UT is:
S07E22 ( -364", -68" )
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.
