Default SOLAR ACTIVITY: An M1-class solar flare erupted Monday at 0800 UT

Ref: http://spaceweather.com/
SOLAR ACTIVITY: An M1-class solar flare
erupted today at 0800 UT, and the blast hurled a coronal
mass ejection (CME, movie) into space. The source of the
explosion was, apparently, over the sun's eastern limb, so
the bulk of the cloud is not heading for Earth. This could be
an early sign, however, of increasing solar activity in the
days ahead.

Oh, for fiber optics to be installed in more places....

No, Bill, that's most probably a result of hacker activity, MicroSoft
vulnerability and the fact that sysad folk don't work 24/7.... I've
notice it too.

What we have been getting from the mer rovers, Cassini and other
probes is great, but I'm ready for some brighter comets and Solar
displays (just short of taking down power grids)!

But then I can't complain... as the "second act" of the Milk Way
overhead is in its full glory!
