BIG SUNSPOT: The sudden emergence of big sunspot 1045 over the weekend has caused a sharp uptick in solar activity.  The active region has produced three M-class and almost a dozen C-class solar flares since it appeared on Saturday.  The strongest blast, an M6-class eruption on Feb. 7th, may have hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. 

High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras in the nights ahead as a result of this activity. 

Also, ham radio operators are picking up strong solar radio bursts using shortwave receivers.
