Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA region 11166 has now rotated up to the NW limb, with an observed decrease in the number of flares. NOAA regions 11166 and 11169 both display beta-gamma magnetic configurations, with 11169 being the source of an M1.0 event at 00:18 UT on 15-Mar-2011. C-class activity is expected, with a small chance of another low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11169 on 16-Mar-2011 at 15:30 UT is:
N17W68, ( 859", 322" )
