Some solar news



(Edited 4 times--Last on 24DEC @ 7 am) We last edited this post on December 17--a week ago. That was a couple of days after a purported CME took place on the back side of the sun. A CME is a Coronal Mass Ejection. There was some excited chatter about it on Spaceweather.com and then the whole topic totally disappeared. Now there's new chatter about something soon to rotate into view, probably 26DEC. It sure looks to me like it's in the same location as the purported CME. Anywho, it's going to be interesting to see exactly what it really is and who it affects solar emissions. You can read all about it on Spaceweather, linked at left.
