Get Ready For Some Activity?
Space Weather News for Nov. 7, 2006
http://spaceweather.com Solar activity is about to increase--or so it seems. An active sunspot is hiding just behind the sun's eastern limb. For the past three days, it has been erupting, throwing clouds of magnetized gas high above the sun's surface where they can be seen from Earth. Some of these explosions have also produced strong radio bursts heard in the loudspeakers of ham-radio rigs. Soon, perhaps later today or tomorrow, the sun's rotation will turn the sunspot toward Earth, providing a direct view of the active region. If it is indeed a big spot, we could be in for some stormy space weather in the days ahead. Visit http://spaceweather.com for updates and to listen to the radio sounds of the sun.
