Dear Collaborators,
The Major Flare Watch region NOAA 12975 produced an M2.9 flare at /04/02 02:39 UT and also a few C-class flares in the past 24 hours. Another two regions, NOAA 12978 (S18E10, beta-gamma/E-type) and 12981 (S26E14, beta-gamma/D-type) also produced numerous C-class flares. We will continue the Major Flare Watch on NOAA 12975 for another 24 hours. Now the region has been classified as a beta/E-type configuration. There is still a chance for a major flare before it rotates over the west limb. The position of NOAA 12975 on April 2 at 07:30 UT is: N13W70 (879", 250") 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.
