EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar activity increased sharply over the
weekend with the eruption of an M6.6-class solar flare from behemoth
sunspot 1158. The blast produced a strong burst of radio waves heard in
the loudspeakers of shortwave receivers around the dayside of our
planet, and it appears to have hurled a faint coronal mass ejection
toward Earth. Sights and sounds from the event are highlighted on
today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
