Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12253) was responsible for a ~C8 flare (currently in decay phase) on 05-Jan-2015 at 17:45 UT, as well as further C-class events. The mixed polarity spot in the leading portion of the region has decayed completely. Since the region continues to show large spot area (>800 µh), evidence for a gamma magnetic classification, and continues to release significant activity, the MFW will continue for at least one more day. Further C-class activity is expected with the chance for a
M5 event.
The position of NOAA 12253 on 05-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:
S07W14 ( 235", -61" )
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.
