Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is at a very low level. Newly numbered NOAA region 11140 has rotated over the NE limb and has a simple alpha magnetic classification. This region has been the source of several B-class flares, the largest being a B9.2 on 31-Dec-2010 at 19:28 UT. Further B-class activity is probable, with a small chance of a C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11140 on 1-Jan-2011 at 11:00 UT is:
N32E61, ( -726", 538" )
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.
