Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 12021 has grown over the past 24 hours, increasing in spot area and forming leading and trailing spots with more mature penumbrae. Yesterday's target NOAA 12026 has also grown in spot area as well as number of spots, but some of that is most likely due to rotation further onto the disk. This region is classed as a beta/D-type sunspot group and displays a highly fragmented set of leading polarity spots, with possible signs of polarity mixing having developed in its intermediate spot region. Further C-class activity is likely, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12026 on 1-Apr-2014 at 16:00 UT is:

S11E55, ( -775", -121" )
