[KCDXC] Cycle 24 Solar Fireworks

GLOBAL ERUPTION ON THE SUN: This morning between 0230 UT and 0600 UT, the  
northern hemisphere of the sun erupted in a tumult of activity.  There was  
a solar flare, a coronal mass ejection, and at least two dark magnetic 
filaments  lifting off the stellar surface. The event appears to be a 
smaller-scale version  of the global blast in early August that sparked auroras over 
some US states. 
 
As before, NASA spacecraft recorded the action in detail.
