> BIG SUNSPOT: The sudden emergence of big sunspot 1045 over
> the weekend has caused a sharp uptick in solar activity.
>  The active region has produced three M-class and almost a
> dozen C-class solar flares since it appeared on Saturday.
>  The strongest blast, an M6-class eruption on Feb. 7th, may
> have hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth.
> High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras in
> the nights ahead as a result of this activity. Also, ham
> radio operators are picking up strong solar radio bursts
> using shortwave receivers.  Sample sounds and images may be
