M-flare!

[Ludvig N]

Is the M1-class solar flare earth-directed!?

Hi Ludvig!

Flares are directed no-where, only their CME's are.
And as the flare happend on the western limb in region 10326, there is definately no CME heading towards earth.
Also, looking at the SOHO LASCO images, there is no CME at all.
Relax!
