Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The largest flare in the past 24 hours was a C4.2 flare (on 17-Oct-2016 at 00:08 UT) from NOAA region 12599 that has now rotated fully over the West limb. The target region NOAA 12602 has maintained both area and number of spots, as well as retaining a beta/C-type sunspot classification. B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12602 on 17-Oct-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N06W10, ( 166", 8" )
