Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11818 has rotated over the West limb and was the source of the largest event in the past 24 hours (a foot-point occulted C4.1 flare on 22-Aug-2013 at 04:49 UT). NOAA 11820 has continued to emerge new magnetic flux, increasing in spot area and number of spots while maintaining a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group classification. Further C-class activity is likely in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11820 on 22-Aug-2013 at 12:30 UT is:
S12W54, ( 751", -263" )
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.
