Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA 12665 underwent further flux emergence since the last message, increasing in spot area and number of spots. 12665 continues to be classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group while increasing in flare productivity by being the source of 5 C-class events and an M1.3 on 9-Jul-2017 at 03:09 UT, the largest flare since the last message. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an additional low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12665 on 9-Jul-2017 at 18:00 UT is:

S06E28, ( -442", -154" )
