Auroras
Solar activity often leads to Auroras so this may be of interest.
Space Weather News for July 19, 2004 http://spaceweather.com The sunspot number soared this weekend when new sunspot 652 emerged over the sun's eastern limb. This active region is big, about the size of the planet Jupiter, and easily seen from Earth. Warning: Don't look directly at the sun; doing that could blind you. Instead, try the safe solar observing techniques described at spaceweather.com. With the emergence of sunspot 652, there are now two regions on the sun that pose a threat for strong solar flares (sunspot 649 is the other one). High levels of solar activity are possible this week. LB |
