</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>The level of solar activity is high. NOAA 11944 has grown in spot
area over the past 24 hours, while maintaining number of spots and
a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification. Since the
MM#003 Major Flare Watch was initiated yesterday, NOAA 11944 was
the source of an X1.2 flare on 7-Jan-2014 at 18:04 UT. The Major
Flare Watch will continue for at least another 24 hours, as 11944
retains the potential for additional flaring above the M5 level.
<p>The position of NOAA 11944 on 8-Jan-2014 at 12:30 UT is:
<p>S09W10, ( 167&quot;, -89&quot; )
