# FAST WARNING 'PRESTO' MESSAGE  from the SIDC (RWC-Belgium)         #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in LASCO/C2 coronagraph data from
06:36 UTC on February 12th. The CME is directed primarily to the South-West from the
Earth's perspective. The analysis indicated that the source of the CME was on the far
side of the Sun. Therefore, no impact on the solar wind condition near Earth is
expected. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux crossed the 10 pfu threshold at 08:05
UTC today, on February 12th, likely related to this event. The proton flux is
expected to remain elevated over the next days.
