#6 "Fickle Fields: Are Transient Magnetic Reversals Real?" contributed by Brian Harker

We present observations from SDO/HMI of a magnetic transient observed in NOAA 11429 during the M7.9 flare on 13 March 2012. The observed transient showed an impulsive rotation of the field vector in response to the white-light flare. _________ We invite those who use HMI data for their research, or whose research is closely related to HMI science objectives, to contribute to the HMI science nuggets. -- SDO/HMI team
