Dear RHESSI collaborators,

Solar activity remains high. Active region NOAA 0486 produced another large (X10) flare on 29-Oct-2003 20:37 UT, accompanied by a proton event and halo CME. Further C- and M- class events expected with a good chance for another X-class flare.

The position of NOAA 0486 on 30-Oct-2003 12:30 UT is:

S16W18, ( 286", -337" )

See http://beauty.nascom.nasa.gov/arm/latest/0486.html for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
