Dear RHESSI collaborators,

Active region NOAA 0652 continues to grow in size and sunspot number. It consists of large leader and follower spots, with several small deltas components in its central portion, and had produced several flares including an M9 on 20-July-2004 12:23 UT. Further low- to intermediate- level events expected, with a good chance for another large flare.

The position of NOAA 0652 on 20-July-2004 13:00 UT is:

N05E37, ( -568", 18" )

See http://beauty.nascom.nasa.gov/arm/latest/0652.html for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,
