MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1520 decayed slightly losing sunspot area and sunspot count but is maintaining an F-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group classification. 1520 produced C-class events and a low-level M-class event during the past 24 hour period. There remains a possibility of 1520 producing another major flare =/>M5 in the next 24 to 48 hours.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 14 at 15:00 UT is: S16W32 (Solar X = 482", Solar Y = -318")

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.
