Space Weather News 

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
