Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 12339 has displayed some initial signs of entering decay phase, decreasing in spot area while increasing in number of spots. The intermediate spots of NOAA 12339 have shown the beginnings of decay the most, but this region has maintained a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group designation. 12339 has remained the most flare-productive region, being the source of 5 C-class events since yesterday’s message. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue for a final 24 hours as this region retains the potential for another isolated flare above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 12339 on 10-May-2015 at 23:00 UT is:
N12E11, ( -183”, 249” )
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.
