Subj: Earth-Directed X-flare and CME

     Space Weather News for July 12, 2012
     http://spaceweather.com

     EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE: Big sunspot AR1520 erupted on July 12th
     around 16:53 UT, producing an X-class solar flare and hurling a CME
     directly toward Earth. Forecasters expect the cloud to arrive on
     July 14th. Its impact could spark moderate to severe geomagnetic
     storms, allowing auroras to be seen at lower latitudes than usual.
     Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

     AURORA ALERTS: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are
     underway? Aurora alerts are available from
