Space Weather News for Sept. 9, 2010
http://spaceweather.comSPECTACULAR ERUPTION: Just as sunspot 1105 was turning away from Earth on Sept 8th, the active region unleashed a spectacular eruption of plasma and extreme ultraviolet radiation. Earth was not in the line of fire–this time. Must-see movies from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and other spacecraft are highlighted on today’s edition of http://spaceweather.com.
This is beautiful! I have only seen them once in up state NY, but not like this!
That is truly magnificent!
