*EARTH-DIRECTED SOLAR FLARE: * A new and rapidly growing sunspot,
AR2736, announced itself this morning with a C4-class solar flare. The
Earth-directed explosion sent minor waves of ionization rippling through
Earth's upper atmosphere and caused a shortwave radio "brownout" over
parts of Europe and Africa. Moreover, the explosion hurled a coronal
mass ejection (CME) into space, which might deliver a glancing blow to
Earth's magnetic field later this week. Visit Spaceweather.com
