Default Another remarkable solar flare has erupted from giant sunspot 486

Space Weather News for Nov. 2, 2003
http://spaceweather.com

"Another remarkable solar flare has erupted from giant sunspot 486--an
X8-class blast at 1725 UT on Nov. 2nd. Because the sunspot is nearing the
sun's western limb, this explosion was not aimed squarely at Earth. Even
so, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading our way. Auroras could appear
on Nov. 3rd or 4th when the fast-moving cloud delivers a glancing blow to
Earth's magnetic field. Visit spaceweather.com for more information and
images".
