Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is high. NOAA 11891 was responsible for C-class activity and a M2.3 flare on 8-Nov-2013 at 09:28 UT, but its main delta-spot has separated, leaving a much smaller delta spot in the intermediate portion of the region. Yesterday's target region (NOAA 11890) was responsible for further C-class activity and a X1.1 flare on 8-Nov-2011 at 04:26. The main spots within the region show fragmentation, but the delta-spot within the region's following portion has increased in size, and its polarity separation line has strengthened. The current MFW will continue for at least the following 24 hours. Further M-class activity is possible, with a chance for a low X-class event.

The position of NOAA 11890 on 8-Nov-2013 at 17:50 UT is: S11W00, ( -2", -244" )

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.
