BRIGHT SOLAR FLARE: Active sunspot 1121 has just unleashed one of the
brightest x-ray solar flares in several years, an M5.4-class eruption at
15:36 UT on Nov. 6th. Radiation from the flare created a wave of
ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere that altered the propagation of
low-frequency radio waves.  There was, however, no bright CME (plasma
cloud) hurled in our direction, so the event is unlikely to produce
auroras in the nights ahead.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for a
movie of the eruption and more information about this increasingly
active sunspot.
