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.
00:54 UT N West Ragged loop front brighter to S and with faint (Faint Halo) 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. The circular structure seems to surpass later, while still in C2, the bright material. By 05:30 UT more bright material appears above the NNW limb. 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. This event has therefore been determined as, at least most likely, partly Earth-directed. 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 (Faint Halo) 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. This event has therefore been determined as, at least most likely, partly Earth-directed. 14:06 UT WN West Structured material slowly develops, superposed in the LOS with the trailing material of previous event. While in C2 it is surpassed by the event reported to start at 20:30 UT. 14:30 UT N East Ragged loop front. Continuous outflow. 17:54 UT NN East Very faint diffuse front that seems to push structures already in the C2 FOV. Effect visible in C3. 20:30 UT WN West Ragged loop front with apparently twisted inner structure preceded by a fainter and diffuse front (shock?) that is first seen at 19:54 UT. GOES recorded an M6.2 X-Ray flare produced by NOAA AR 0646 (N14W56) between 19:24 - 19:36 UT with peak emission at 19:32 UT (among several others C-class X-ray flares from the same region all along the day).
03:30 UT N East Kind of thick jet-like front followed by a diffuse and asymmetric ragged loop front whose northern leg matches the apparent PA of the jet. They quickly fade. 05:06 UT N East Initially bright front develops as a ragged faint structure with faint extensions to S. 06:30 UT W Limb Apparently twisted elongated structure, preceded by a kind of spray to N.
