>X-FLARE:  Active sunspot AR2158 erupted on Sept. 10th, producing a strong 
X1.6-class solar flare.  Because the sunspot is directly facing Earth, 
this is a geoeffective event.  HF radio blackouts and other 
communications disturbances have already been observed on the day-lit 
side of Earth.  Stay tuned to http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates about the possibility of an Earth-directed CME and geomagnetic storms in the days ahead.
