INCOMING CME:  Sunspot AR1429 unleashed another strong flare (category M7.9) 
on March 13th.  The explosion produced a significant coronal mass ejection 
(CME), which forecasters say should reach Earth on March 15th.  Geomagnetic 
storms are possible when the cloud arrives.  Check http://spaceweather.com 
for updates.

SUNDIVING COMET: A bright comet related to sungrazing Comet Lovejoy is 
diving into the sun.  The orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) 
is monitoring the comet's death plunge even as the sun peppers the 
spacecraft with energetic particles accelerated by the March 13th solar 
flare.   Images of the comet are featured on today's edition of
