Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a very low level. After appearing to decay slightly after yesterday's message, NOAA 12578 was classed as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. This region has since shown signs of minor growth and consolidation in its leading polarity spots. No significant flares have been produced by 12578 since the last email. B-class activity is possible over the next 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 18-Aug-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N09E21, ( -338", 44" )
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.
Regards,
Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
