Data from the U.S. Earth observation satellite 'GOES' showed that the proton flux of protons with energy above 10 MeV began to rise at around 6:55 PM on November 10 due to the X1.2 class solar flare, exceeding 10 Proton Flux Units (PFU) at 8:25 PM and later dropping below 10 PFU around noon on the 11th.
