RADIO-ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Huge sunspot AR1476  is crackling with M-class solar 
flares and appears to be on the verge of  producing something even stronger. 
The sunspot's 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic  field harbors energy for X-class 
flares, the most powerful kind. Radio operators  are recording strong 
bursts of shortwave static from the sunspot as it turns  toward Earth. Visit 
http://spaceweather.com for sample recordings and  forecasts.

SUNSPOT TELESCOPE: AR1476 looks magnificent through a  properly-filtered 
telescope. Explore Scientific's White Light Solar Observing  System is perfect 
for sunspot watching, and it's available now in the Space  Weather Store:
