Subj: Spectacular Explosion on the Sun

     Space Weather News for April 16, 2012
     http://spaceweather.com

     SPECTACULAR EXPLOSION: On April 16th around 17:45 UT, magnetic
     fields curling over the sun's northeastern limb rose up and erupted,
     producing one of the most visually-spectacular explosions in years.
     The event, which also produced an M1.7-class solar flare and a
     coronal mass ejection, was not Earth-directed. Nevertheless, it
     confirms suspicions that a significant active region is rotating
     onto the Earth-side of the sun. Visit http://spaceweather.com for
     movies and updates.

     SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when sunspots erupt? Solar
     flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)
     and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
