ACTIVE SUNSPOT:  Set your watch. 3 hours from now there should be another M-class solar flare. That's how often sunspot AR3380 has been exploding:

Extreme ultraviolet flashes from this sunspot have been ionizing the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a series of shortwave radio blackouts around all longitudes of our planet. If this continues, ham radio operators may notice frequent loss of signal and other propagation effects at frequencies below 15 MHz. 

The explosions have also hurled some faint CMEs into space. NOAA analysts are modeling them now to see if any will hit Earth. Stary tuned. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text
