The active region 1226 is located in the southern hemisphere at the west side of the visible solar disk. The magnetic configuration of the active region did not change however dramatically in magnetograms. Magnetograms show the strength of the line-of-sight surface magnetic field. The flare - a flash of radiation -as associated with a plasma eruption. SDO/AIA 304 shows the impressive plasma eruption. The plasma cloud is already visible in SOHO/LASCO and STEREO A-B/COR images. A first estimate gives a speed over slightly more then 1000 km/s. The cloud seems to have a large extend and might cause geomagnetic disturbances arriving at Earth in 2 days. The proton levels went up immediately. >=10MeV and >=50MeV curve passed the thresshold. This proton event is flare-driven. TODAY'S ESTIMATED ISN : 040, BASED ON 09 STATIONS.
