SATURN is still in the C3 FOV (Western hemisphere) after reappearing from behind the C3 occultor on 2004/07/10 (Saturday) at ~ 05:42 UT.
05:06 UT W Limb Loop front that fades close to the inner edge of C3. Faint extensions to N in C2. 08:06 UT E Limb Wide and bright loop front with twisted inner core. Starting at ~07:36 UT EIT Fe XII show signatures of a huge limb event, originated barely behind the disk. 11:06 UT S West Faint and ragged elongated loop front, followed at 12:30 UT, slightly to N, by another (brighter) ragged loop front. Apparently, another one at 17:54 UT, not well defined. 22:30 UT ES East Very elongated front.
00:54 UT N West Ragged loop front brighter to S and with faint extensions also to S. By 01:31 UT the extensions cover the C2 occultor. By 01:31 UT on NNW, bright and slower material appears developing toward NNW followed by an apparently twisted (rather circular) structure. GOES recorded high X-ray activity during the day. In particular, NOAA AR 0646 (by the time at N14W45), produced an M6.7 X-ray flare between 00:09 and 00:23 UT with peak emission at 00:17 UT, most likely associated to the event. EIT Fe XII shows a brightening above the aforementioned AR starting at 00:12 UT followed by a wave apparently centered in the AR. Material is seen ejected form nearby the AR toward N short after the flare. 01:54 UT N East Ragged loop front preceded by a fainter and more diffuse front at 01:31 UT. Difficult to characterize the event as it mixes with the faint extensions from previous event. 06:06 UT WS West Faint ragged fan-like front that fades throughout C3. 09:08 UT WN West Another bright ragged loop front with faint extensions to S. By 10:06 UT the faint extensions seem to cover the C2 occultor. GOES recorded an M5.9 X-ray flare on NOAA AR 0646 (by the time at N14W51), between 08:39 and 09:15 UT with peak emission at 08:48 UT. EIT Fe XII shows a brightening above the aforementioned AR starting at 08:48 UT followed by an intensity disturbance travelling mainly toward NW.
