[SFDXA] Sun activity: Big flare day

Sun activity: Big flare day
Whoa! A big increase in flaring! The sun produced 29 flares over the 
past 24 hours, in contrast to 19 the day before. It's a sizable jump, 
especially considering that last week's sun averaged just 5 flares a 
day. Elsewhere on the sun, one of the prominences (ropes of solar 
material and magnetic fields) that we saw yesterday on the sun's 
southwest limb (edge) lifted off into space as a billion-ton blob of 
plasma. This coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading away from Earth. But 
another CME is on its way toward us. It could cause auroras, so keep an 
eye out.
