> GLOBAL ERUPTION:  During the early hours of August 1st, NASA's Solar 
> Dynamics Observatory recorded a complex global disturbance on the 
> Earth-facing side of the sun.  Most of the sun's northern hemisphere was 
> involved in the event, which included a long-duration C3-class solar 
> flare, a "solar tsunami," and a massive filament eruption.  As a result of 
> these blasts, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth. 
> High-latitude geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the cloud 
> arrives a few days hence.  Check http://spaceweather.com for movies and 
> updates.
