X-FLARE: This morning at 0805 UT, sunspot 1263 produced an X7-class solar 
flare--so far the most powerful flare of new Solar Cycle 24.  The brunt of 
the explosion was not Earth directed.  Even so, a minor solar proton storm 
is in progress around our planet, and the flare also created waves of 
ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for 
images and more information.
