NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring an active region hidden behind the
sun's eastern limb.  On May 5th, it produced an impressive coronal mass
ejection (CME) and a burst of radio emissions signalling the passage of a
shock wave through the sun's outer atmosphere.  Activity has continued apace
today, May 6th, with at least two more eruptions.  The blast site is not yet
visible from Earth, but the sun is turning the region toward us for a better
view.  Is a new-cycle sunspot in the offing? Readers with solar telescopes
could see it emerge as early as May 7th or 8th.  Visit
