> Average daily sunspot numbers this week were down nearly 31 points
> to 13.4, and average daily solar flux declined over 8 points to 77.
> Sunday through Thursday of this week, the sunspot number was 11 on
> all five days.  Sunspot activity should remain low.
> 
> This week a coronal wind stream caused a geomagnetic disturbance
> centered on September 18.  A week ago, on Friday, September 15,
> geomagnetic conditions were very stable.  The mid-latitude K index
> throughout the day was zero on all eight readings, and so the
> mid-latitude A index was also zero.  Even the high latitude college
> A index near Fairbanks, Alaska was zero that day.
> 
> Due to a recurring coronal hole, we may see a rise in geomagnetic
> activity this weekend, with the planetary A index predicted at a low
> of 5 on Friday, then rising to 20 on Saturday, September 23.
> 
> Today a group of satellites should be launched that will give
> 3-dimensional views of solar flares.  The plan is to view flares
> from two satellites, spaced far enough apart to give stereo vision.
