The Sunspot AR 1261 has released a M9.3 Solar Flare during 0209UT,30th July 2011 with a begin period at 0204UTC and ending at 0212UTC....
In a surprising attack the Sunspot 1261 didn't look that strong for releasing such a big flare but it has happened!
The Solar Flare with its X ray release causes a temporary and sometimes long lasting blackouts ( Disturbances in Earth's Ionosphere) which onsets a Radio Blackout
This M 9.3 flare also had set a R2 level blackout which mostly causes loss of communication with satellites at High Frequency on the Sunlit side of the earth for around 10s minutes.
We are monitoring the datas from STEREO spacecraft to see whether there is any CME in track towards the Earth as solar flares of such higher intensity mostly causes Coronal Mass Ejections!
