     Space Weather News for July 2, 2012

     STRONG SOLAR FLARE: A big, active sunspot (AR1515) is growing on the
     Earthside of the sun. This morning it erupted, producing an
     M5.6-class solar flare that ionized Earth's upper atmosphere with a
     brief but intense pulse of X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation.
     More eruptions are in the offing as the sunspot turns to face Earth.
