Submitted on 2013-05-14UPDATE - 15 May 2013, 7:30UT - NOAA1748 produced its 4th X-class flare, this time an X1.2 peaking at 01:48UT (movie). At the time of this writing, the already enhanced proton flux is on the rise again, maybe reaching event threshold in the course of the day. Preliminary analysis from coronagraphic images indicates that the associated coronal mass ejection (CME) seems partially directed towards Earth, with most likely arrival tomorrow or early Friday.

ESA opened a brand new SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre (SSCC), the first in a planned series of centres that will provide up-to-date information from the Agency’s Space Situational Awareness Programme. The SSCC is located at the Space Pole in Brussels and mainly manned with people from the Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence.
The centre was formally inaugurated on 3 April by Mr Philippe Mettens, Chairman of the Belgian Science Policy Office, and Thomas Reiter, ESA Director of Human Spaceflight and Operations.
