     Subj: Big Sunspot Unleashes X-flare on July 6th
     Space Weather News for July 7, 2012

     X-FLARE: For days, giant sunspot AR1515 has looked capable of
     producing a really strong explosion. On July 6th it finally did.
     Yesterday, the sunspot's magnetic canopy erupted, producing a brief
     but potent X1.1-class solar flare. The explosion hurled a CME into
     space and sparked a solar proton storm around Earth. Check
     http://spaceweather.com for images and updates.

     X-FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when solar flares are
     underway? X-flare alerts are available from
