FARSIDE SOLAR ACTIVITY:  Solar activity has been low for weeks, but a 
new active region on the far side of the sun appears set to break the 
spell of quiet.  For the past two days it has exploded repeatedly, 
hurling bright coronal mass ejections into space and sending shock waves 
billowing through the sun's atmosphere.  Although the region cannot be 
seen directly from Earth, NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft, stationed over the 
sun's eastern horizon, has a great view.  Visit http://spaceweather.com 
for movies and updates as this region turns toward our planet in the 
days ahead.
