For the second day in a row, an active region on the far side of the sun is exploding and hurling CMEs into space. Click on the image to view a movie of the latest:
Today's eruption was almost as dramatic as yesterday's, and suggests that more eruptions are in the offing.
These explosions are occuring almost directly beneath NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft. An onboard telescope has recorded bright flashes of extreme UV radiation and shadowy shock waves emanating from the blast site (Jan. 13th movie). The telescope has also pinpointed the source: It is located just over the sun's eastern limb. Solar rotation is turning the region toward Earth, so geoeffective solar activity could commence within days. Stay tuned.

Keep my electronics shielded my fuzzy tush! I intend to see if the bands are open for DX. It's been a long, long dry spell for radio operators.

So now they’re going to tax CMEs. After all, how long can the sun last when it’s massively ejecting itself like some sort of cosmic bulimic?
“Only government” can dooooo something!
