> SOLAR FLARES: Solar activity increased sharply on Oct. 30th.  The source
> is fast-growing sunspot 691, which has unleashed several strong flares,
> including a brief X-flare.  Some of these explosions may have hurled
> coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth; if so, sky watchers at high
> latitudes might see spooky auroras in the nights ahead.
>
> HALLOWEEN: Believe it or not, Halloween has roots in astronomy: it's a
> "cross-quarter" holiday approximately midway between an equinox and a
> solstice.  Get the details at http://www.spaceweather.com.
