The solar upheavals...

From http://www.spaceweather.com/:



THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN: The three giant sunspots that caused so much space
weather in recent weeks are now on the far side of the sun. There are hints
that the three are still active. Witness these CMEs hurled over the sun's
limb by farside explosions: Nov. 6th, Nov. 7th, and Nov. 9th. Using a
technique called helioseismic holography, researchers can "see" a portion of
the sun's far side. In a few days their images should tell us if two of the
sunspots (486 and 488) are indeed still big. The sun's 27-day rotation is
carrying all three spots back toward the Earth-facing side of our star; the
first could reappear as early as Nov. 13th.
