HUGE SOLAR FLARES


Space Weather News for May 9, 2012
http://spaceweather.com


RADIO-ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Huge sunspot AR1476 is crackling with M-class solar flares and appears to be on the verge of producing something even stronger. The sunspot's 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field harbors energy for X-class flares, the most powerful kind.  Radio operators are recording strong bursts of shortwave static from the sunspot as it turns toward Earth. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sample recordings and forecasts.


SUNSPOT TELESCOPE: AR1476 looks magnificent through a properly-filtered telescope. Explore Scientific's White Light Solar Observing System is perfect for sunspot watching, and it's available now in the Space Weather Store: http://www.shopspaceweather.com/explore-scientific-white-light-solar-observer-system.aspx

I could listen to Coast last night but when I turned the AM radio on this morning there was nothing but static so there is a lot of radiation hitting earth...
