GLOBAL ERUPTION:? During the early hours of August 1st, NASA's Solar 
Dynamics Observatory recorded a complex global disturbance on the 
Earth-facing side of the sun.? Most of the sun's northern hemisphere was 
involved in the event, which included a long-duration C3-class solar flare, 
a "solar tsunami," and a massive filament eruption.? As a result of these 
blasts, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth.? 
High-latitude geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the cloud 
arrives a few days hence.? Check http://spaceweather.com for movies and
