Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12139 has emerged new magnetic flux in its intermediate portion over the past 24 hours, increasing in spot area and number of spots. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group, but shows signs of a weak delta spot configuration in high-resolution images. 12139 has increased in flare productivity, being the source of 2 low C-class events since the last message (the largest being a C1.5 flare on 15-Aug-2014 at 21:46 UT). Further C-class activity is probable over the next 24 hours, with a very small chance for a low M-class event if NOAA 12139 continues to emerge new magnetic flux.

The position of NOAA 12139 on 16-Aug-2014 at 12:30 UT is:

N13E07, ( -115", 105" )

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.
