*WEIRD ATMOSPHERIC WAVE RIPPLES OVER CHINA:* On Nov. 24th, a 
deep-rippling wave at the edge of space crossed the night sky above 
China. Eye-witnesses saw the airglow layer split in two, and at least 
one photographer captured beautiful images of the event.  It might be a 
type of exotic wave called a "mesospheric bore." Visit Spaceweather.com

*UNEXPECTED SOLAR FLARES:* Catching forecasters off guard, a new sunspot 
(AR2615) has emerged and it is crackling with M-class solar flares. 
Minor radio blackouts are underway on Nov. 29-30 as pulses of UV and 
X-radiation ionize the top of Earth's atmosphere.  This is *not* a major 
space weather event, but it is a break from the sun's recent deepening 
quiet.
