> MAJOR SOLAR FLARE:  Earth-orbiting satellites detected a powerful X-class 
> solar flare this morning, Dec. 5th, at 10:35 Universal Time.  The source: 
> big, new sunspot 929, which is emerging over the Sun's eastern limb. 
> Because of the sunspot's position near the limb, this flare was not 
> Earth-directed.  Future eruptions could be, however, because the Sun's 
> spin is turning the spot toward Earth.   Sunspot 929 will be visible for 
> the next two weeks as it glides across the solar disk.
