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:
