SPECTACULAR ERUPTION: Just as sunspot 1105 was turning away from Earth on 
Sept 8th, the active region unleashed a spectacular eruption of plasma and 
extreme ultraviolet radiation.  Earth was not in the line of fire--this 
time.  Must-see movies from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and other 
spacecraft are highlighted on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
