Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. NOAA region 12056 has increased slightly in spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours, but has been reclassified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region produced the largest flare event since the last message, a C8.7 on 10-May-2014 at 06:51 UT. At this time we are ending the MM#003 Major Flare Watch as 12056 has slowed in flux emergence and it has been confirmed no delta exists. Further C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12056 on 10-May-2014 at 11:00 UT is:
N04E25, ( -400", 115" )
