METEOR ACTIVITY: Meteor activity is increasing as Earth plunges deeper into
the debris stream of Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor
shower. Last night alone, NASA cameras recorded more than a dozen Perseid
fireballs along with one sporadic bolide (exploding meteor) that might have
dropped pieces of itself over the southeastern USA. Visit

CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2130 is directly facing Earth and it has a
complex 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong flares.
