Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11389 has continued to be flare productive, being the source of two M-class events since yesterday's message (M2.4 on 31-Dec-2011 at 13:09 UT and M1.5 on 31-Dec-2011 at 16:16 UT). This region has retained a beta-gamma E-type sunspot group, despite decreasing in both area and number of spots. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for an additional M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 1-Jan-2012 at 16:00 UT is:
S23E22, ( -343", -338" )
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.
