Space Weather News for July 26, 2005
http://spaceweather.com
At any given moment, only one side of the sun faces Earth. The other side,
the farside, is hidden from direct view. Nevertheless, it is possible to
monitor activity "over there." In recent days the farside of the sun has
been very active. One or more sunspots have been exploding, hurling coronal
mass ejections (CMEs) over the sun's limb. Because the sun spins, sunspots
on the farside now will be rotating around to face Earth later this week and
next, raising the possibility of geomagnetic storms and auroras.
