Abstract
Using the Yunnan 1-m telescope fitted with a CCD we on 1988 January 23 and 24 observed a rapid brightening in the core of 3C 120 in the I and R bands. The mean brightening rate was faster than 0.7 mag d . Short, bright emission features appeared around the core in the early stage of the brightening. The I image on 24 seems to show a new southward protrusion from the core.
