EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR ACTIVITY: Solar activity increased sharply over the  
weekend with the eruption of an M6.6-class solar flare from behemoth sunspot

loudspeakers of shortwave receivers around the dayside of our planet, and it  
appears to have hurled a faint coronal mass ejection toward Earth.  Sights  and 
sounds from the event are highlighted on today's edition of
