X-FLARE:  The magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2017 erupted yesterday, March 
29th, producing an impulsive X1-class solar flare.  Ionizing radiation from 
the flare produced electrical currents in Earth's upper atmosphere and a 
ripple in Earth's magnetic field detected by magnetometers across the 
dayside of our planet.  Read more about this rare "magnetic crochet" and the 
possibility of more X-flares this weekend on today's edition of

STRANGE BUT TRUE:  Astronomers peering into the outer solar system have 
found something surprising--an asteroid with rings.  The discovery has 
sparked a debate about how such a thing is possible and prompted a search 
for tiny moons threading through the asteroid's ring system. Get the full 
story from http://spaceweather.com
