Fw: Fast-growing Sunspot

WB3AAL
Space Weather News for Oct. 22, 2006
http://spaceweather.com

SUNSPOT 917:  Sunspot 917, just a speck a few days ago, has suddenly
blossomed into an active region wider than the planet Neptune.  The
fast-growing spot is crackling with minor solar flares.  If its development
continues, the sunspot could soon pose a threat for stronger explosions.

NORTHERN LIGHTS:  As predicted, a solar wind stream hit Earth on Oct. 20th.
The impact did not trigger a full-fledged geomagnetic storm.  Nevertheless,
colorful auroras appeared over Scandinavia and Iceland--and the display is
still active almost two days later.
