Earth Dodges Spectacular Blast
SPECTACULAR BLAST: A massive cloud of plasma exploded over the
eastern limb of the sun this morning (Feb. 24th around 0730 UT),
heralding the approach of a new active region. The spectacular blast,
which produced strong radio emissions, a coronal mass ejection, and an
M3-class solar flare, was not Earth-directed. Future eruptions could
be, however, as the sun's rotation turns the blast site toward our
planet in the days ahead. Check http://spaceweather.com for images
and movies.
