Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is now low. NOAA 12302 has been the most flare-productive region over the past 24 hours, but it has already rotated over the North West limb. NOAA 12297 has decreased in number of spots, spot area and complexity over the past 24 hours as it has rotated up to the South West limb. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group and was the source of a C1.8 flare on 19-Mar-2015 at 08:15 UT. More C-class activity is possible over the next 24 hour period as 12297 rotates over the South West limb, with a small chance for an isolated low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12297 on 19-Mar-2015 at 23:00 UT is:
S17W90, ( 921”, -279” )
