Subject: Halloween Solar Flares
Space Weather News for Oct. 30, 2004
http://spaceweather.com
SOLAR FLARES: Solar activity increased sharply on Oct. 30th. The source is fast-growing sunspot 691, which has unleashed several strong flares, including a brief X-flare. Some of these explosions may have hurled coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth; if so, sky watchers at high latitudes might see spooky auroras in the nights ahead.
HALLOWEEN: Believe it or not, Halloween has roots in astronomy: it's a "cross-quarter" holiday approximately midway between an equinox and a solstice. Get the details at http://www.spaceweather.com.
