ERUPTING PROMINENCE:  Today, astronomers are monitoring an unusually active
prominence on the sun's eastern limb.  Even veteran observers are impressed,
using words like "amazing" and "jaw-dropping" to describe the activity they
have seen. One onlooker described the fountain-like eruptions as "volcanic
in appearance."  This beautiful activity may herald the approach of a new
sunspot--or it may be just a temporary upheaval, here today and gone
tomorrow. What happens next?  Check http://spaceweather.com for images and
