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
http://spaceweather.com for video and observing tips.
CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2130 is directly facing Earth and it has a
complex 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong flares.
X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and
