*X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:* A large and potentially dangerous sunspot is 
turning toward Earth. This morning (Jan. 6th at 0057 UT) it unleashed an 
X-class solar flare and caused a shortwave radio blackout over the South 
Pacific Ocean. Given the size and apparent complexity of the active 
region, there's a good chance the explosions will continue in the days 
ahead.  Full story @ Spaceweather.com
